And the ones from trigun

To be honest, I don’t think I plan to do anything else with this project, but I still have the libreoffice document with selectable text and I’m happy to share it if you or anyone wants to use it to make something new.

These sound amazing and I’m definitely saving this recipe!

Thanks, glad you like it!

Whoops, this should be higher rez, didn’t realize movim was compressing it

Sorry about that, does this work better?

Awesome! I hope it helps! Best of luck

The solarpunk genre in general might have some good stuff for you - my favorite so far is Murder in the Tool Library, but the Terraformers might be closer to what you’re looking for.

It works great but it lifts surface thoughts like a keylogger and sends them god-knows-where

The old radio show X Minus One had an episode about folks songs of the spaceways. That’s what came to mind when I saw this

I’m not sure if this’ll count, but I really enjoyed these Let’s Plays using the Alien tabletop gaming system. The GM is an awesome writer with a great knowledge of the setting, and the players are all improv actors so they do a nice job:

So I’m going to throw in a pretty eclectic list:

If you enjoy tech noir, I always like to recommend Other Kind of Life by Shamus Young, because it’s awesome and somewhat unknown. The tagline/blurb don’t do it justice but I recently wrote up a rant about why people should read it here

The Space Merchants by Frederik Pohl, Cyril M. Kornbluth is an awesome proto-cyberpunk science fiction story (it’s got just about all the elements of a cyberpunk book, but the feel is much more that of a 1950s scifi story, it’s kind of fascinating. The story is awesome.

Bolo! by David Weber is kind of fascinating because it’s one of the only series I’ve read with a genuine partnership between humans and AIs, where neither one exploits or betrays the other, and it’s in this military scifi book series about tanks the size of small towns. And the scope is huge, from postapoclyptic earth to the rise and fall of several interstellar empires, humans side by side with absurdly giant tanks - it’s a trip. The sequel to this one is also good. The others in the series are fun but the ones by Webber have a surprising amount of heart.

By the way, if you like Baen books, you can get a ton of their stories (including Bolo!) in ebook form for free - they used to give them away for free on CDs, and fans collected those files onto websites, and the company has been surprisingly chill about just keeping those book available. This website hosts most of them http://baencd.freedoors.org/ but be warned, it’s got graphic design to rival Baen’s infamous covers.

Anything by Harry Harrison. A bunch of ebook versions of his stories are available on Project Gutenberg Especially Deathworld if you haven’t read it

When Gravity Fails by George Alec Effinger is a cyberpunk story worth checking out.

Obviously anything by William Gibson, and Philip K Dick (personal favorite, A Scanner Darkly and especially the linked audiobook)

And the Murderbot books by Martha Wells are great.

That’s a great idea

A friend wanted to show my SO and I Twelve Monkeys (the TV series) badly enough to buy the whole thing as a box set, so the three of us have been working our way through it, we’re in season 2 now - it’s been a lot of fun

Thanks! Yeah I don’t remember why I didn’t do headers, it definitely wouldn’t hurt

You’re right - I had to set the tab to ‘desktop site’ to get it to work (I have to do that to get imgur to work half the time so I already had it set that way).

Thanks! Thats high praise indeed!

Have you tried ‘open image in new tab’?

Thanks!!

Thanks, I’d thought about it but I don’t mind it getting shared or attribution getting lost - I pulled it together from stuff I found online after all. I don’t think I’ll care if I see someone taking credit for making it but I don’t know for sure since it hasn’t happened yet. But I’m trying to get good at just giving stuff away - and if people want to take it and mutate it further, that’s the natural progression of things.

I’d rather nobody sells it, but I don’t think I can make it freely available and keep that from happening.
