I wonder if she plans to get back into writing "real" Sci-fi some more. The Monk and Robot series is nice, but IMHO the Wayfarer series was better. Maybe something based on earth in the not that far far future would be cool as well?
My favorite book of hers is "Record of a Spaceborn Few" 👍
Well rn im reading The Monk and Robot series. Im an anxious guy and it appeases me. Idc if its not real SF.
It is not a bad series by all means, but imagine the robot being a golem and nothing else changed... it really is more of a fantasy book IMHO.
True. But i really dont care. I care about good books. I have GAD - general anxiety disorders - and during 20 years, i treated it alone with heroin, crack, weird russian meds etc.
Now im sober, i do a lot of sport, méditation & cold showers.
And rn im reading this book, and it feels like natural valium to me: that's amazing! Thank God for that.
I love Peter Watts, but damn, reading him at night is a whole différent expérience. Same for PKD & Lovecraft.
I have read the first book of the Wayfarer series and I am at the 1/4 of the second book. I don't have questions but I do love her writings. The story is interesting, the writing is clearly and it feels good and relaxing to read her stories in our mad and depressing world. All I'd want to say is "thank you so much"
Man, i hope she accepts the itw.
Yeah! 100% agreed.
Did she have some particular inspiration for her monk and robot tale ? Also concerning the "no money system" in this story, did she get her inspiration from real systems or economical theories ?
Excellent questions, TY!
Here are some questions i would ask her.
"The political and communities environments your personnages evolve are so diverses and so well though. Where do you find such inspiration? especially for the most positive ones ?"
"Do you realise that the hope that you give empower peoples and make them seek and do positive things ?"
"How can we, as a community, help you ?"
"what is your favorite (hot) drink ?"
"what would be the best question for interviewing you ? What do you want to point out ?"
Thx!
SORRY FOR YESTERDAY!
I feel the need to share this vid' with her. The man's definitely right. Nobody succesfully refuted him during many decades.
Hayek on Socialism
https://youtu.be/CNbYdbf3EEc?is=OisFM81g5k3ApqLJ
And i mean, he desired to be a socialist.
PLUS
Send this to ur libertarian buddies to see how they react:
F. A. Hayek on social insurance
https://pnhp.org/news/f-a-hayek-on-social-insurance/
Here again, im with Hayek.
But libertarians aren't open minded.
Hijacking your own thread is new, I give you that 🤷
Ah. A new thing right?
Well its how i usually proceed.
Permanent hijacking was the only way to connect w/ Adedapo.
I dont understand ur post...
Hijacking again.
I feel the need to share this vid' with her.
Do i?
Im not brainwashed neither close-minded. The group that have my political views, there is only myself in it lol).
I think Becky's political/economical ideas are possible in very small communities. Just like communism & anarco-capitalism lol.
yeah, except for the larger communities where it did and does still work, such as the zapatistas, rojava or catalonia. i think the issue is much less scalability and more propaganda and repressions against more egalitarian systems.
Didn't know about that. Im pretty surprisef tbh. Will read about it, TY.
And this, men & chicks w/ or without dicks (it takes balls to be a trans woman - SFSS & Trans wrongs! - Anonymous), this is a total masterpiece:

Hayek have studied law during 20 years, and it shows in this gigantic book.
I've studied law at uni, & later i studied natural law by myself during 20 years (VAST subject, there are around 300 or 400 books on the subject). I strongly believe Hayek's theory of law belongs to the natural law category. But not everyone agrees w/ me.
I could speak for weeks about it, but not w/ Becky. Im pretty sure she knows next to nothing about that, which is perfectly fine, its a turbo-nerd thing.
However, i strongly recommend this book to all of u.
And yes its no SF, but no need to care about this. Just taking a detour, because its important & ive studied natural law for a long-ass time. And even now i learn something new about it everyday.
Its a rabbit-hole, just like sci-fi, but worse: its complex af, and their are many many schools.
AND
Its not only a hobby. Natural law must lives. Positivists have absolutely nothing in their toolbox to criticize nazi laws.
OK. Ive said what i have to say. Ur free to dive in or ignore it. Follow ur curiosity.
So many peeps give great insights here & elsewhere on Lemmy. So, if for some reason she refuses the itw (which would b a dumb move, but peeps always believe they're doing the right thing, wrongfully sometimes), ill wrote a blogpost on her. There are a lot of stuff to say on the subject.
But im pretty sure shell accept.
Just have to wait a few days.
I'll keep u updated, guys & chicks w/ & without dicks.
God bless. Amen!
Excelsior!
