7·3 months agoMy fav movie! The perfect blend of sci-fi, action, comedy, and fashion model catwalk.
I came here to make this comment. The Edenists, a genetic fork of humanity, have created sentient machines through biotech. Some of the large space habitats are grown with a layer of neural cells a metre thick - in a cylinder shell that may be 30km long, totalling cubic kilometers of brain matter. Super-intelligent space buildings.
- Six books in the trilogy, if you include And Another Thing by Eoin Colfer (of Atemis Fowl fame)
There are some great suggestions here - I’m also adding to my reading list!
I almost exclusively read sci-fi, and my favourite author is Peter F. Hamilton. He has written some mind-bendingly good space opera, much of it spanning multiple novels.
His best work IMHO is a one-shot, standalone novel called Fallen Dragon. It’s got rampant uber-captialism, space marines, geurilla warfare on colony worlds, and aliens. And a very satisfying conclusion that I didn’t see coming.
I refuse to pronounce it that way. But at least “kaysch” sounds better than “cash-ay”
I thought they were slices of tomato.
“Infamous” - that means more than famous!
