RanaldClouston<p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/FinishedReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FinishedReading</span></a> my first of a subscription to <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AsimovsScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsimovsScienceFiction</span></a> magazine. With its wonky printing (page margins randomly shifting, print changing darkness across each page) it feels a bit like samizdat; I don't mind that, but surely they could have done better with the cover (credited only to image corporation Shutterstock). More importantly the stories were solid and entertaining, although not top tier. My favourites were 'The Hidden God' by <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/TRNapper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TRNapper</span></a> and 'On the Night Shift' by <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ZoharJacobs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZoharJacobs</span></a> , one a satirical thriller of AI attaining sentience and declaring class war, the other a fairly realistic story of mission control for a Mars landing trying to work through a climate change induced superstorm on Earth. <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/NancyKress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NancyKress</span></a> , one of my favourite short story writers, has part 1 of a 2 part story so I'm intrigued to see where that goes next issue! <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/scifi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>scifi</span></a></span></p>

These are always good, but the two stories from this 2013 collection that really floored me were both by <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/NancyKress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NancyKress</span></a> . I need to seek out more of her work - any fans of her here who can recommend where to start with her longer fiction? <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>

fantasyguide<p>Kontakt von Nancy Kress wartet mit einer ganz besonderen Kolonisierungsgeschichte auf, in der es um ethische Fragen geht, wie Körperverbesserung, genetische Befriedung, Gewaltlosigkeit. Sehr interessante pflanzliche Aliens, das gefiel mir besonders. Auf der Mankoseite gibt es ewig lange Diskussionen, einen nervigen Tochter-Vater-Konflikt und mir insgesamt zu wenig Tempo. Könnte ich jetzt nicht vorbehaltlos weiter empfehlen.</p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sciencefiction</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/nancykress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nancykress</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Konakt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Konakt</span></a></p>

fantasyguide<p>Kontakt von Nancy Kress stammt aus dem Jahr 2003 und es ist faszinierend, wie sehr mir das Fehlen sozialer Netzwerke oder gewisser Mittel zur Arbeitsorganisation auffallen. Der Aufbau einer Kolonie im All ohne Jira-Boards oder Netzwerk -- sowas würde ich heute als erstes hinstellen. Oder zumindest sehr fix nach den essentiellen Dingen.</p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/nancykress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nancykress</span></a></p>
Cosmic Log<p>‘Observer’ blends way-out quantum science and fiction<br>Do we each create our own reality? Could different observers create measurably different realities?
