I read the prologue of Hyperion and happily dropped it.

Just found the channel and love it. I read this book earlier this year and thought it was great... but dude please fix your auto focus. It makes it very hard to watch.

It’s an amazing list and I’ll definitely check it out later. If I have a recommendation for a sci-fi book, it’s definitely The Maze Runner series. It’s more a dystopian story than a sci-fi, but it’s one of the greatest series I’ve ever read and seen. Definitely recommend it!

Wanted to subscribe, there's some interesting books. Unfortunately, i kept getting distracted with all of the talking over each other and interruptions. I did manage to get the titles that I'm interested in and add to my TBR. Take care.

Fahrenheit 451 was published in 1953

I would include Silo, I consumed that story like chocolate and it stuck with me. Great list❤

Thank you for the call to action on voting and not supporting Trump. It's an important endeavor and every bit helps.

Is it Camar or Campar? Its Campar.

Do you guys even read sci-fi ?

Jesus is the way the truth and the life.

Great list. I’m having difficulty coming up with other examples. I still need to try 1Q84, which is another. Have you tried that one?

great ep, boys.

I read a thing from Veronica Roth that said in order to create a dystopia all you have to do is try to create a utopia and it will inevitably become a dystopia the more you think about it

Hmm a book sponsorship. That can get dicey. I guess as long as you don’t review it or put it on a best of list. Also, the friends and I are doing a Lonesome Dove read so will be back on sci-fi in many many pages of the great west.

I'm hoping this is the last time you tell people who to vote with. I think everyone can make their own opinion and should not be told by anyone what to do, who to vote, what to eat and so on.. you are turning into a dystopian dictators yourselves :P

Sweden was not conquered by Nazi germany. Norway and Denmark was conquered. Sweden was neutral and had an ok military. They appeased Germany to some degree, but they weren’t a door mat. For example Sweden received all the Jewish refugees from Denmark and they were safe there.

I really enjoy you guys. I recommend a dystopian book which I recently read very good called The Divided kingdom by Rupert Thompson .

Gonna listen to this on my overnight shift on Thursday can’t wait

You boys reminded me of how much I loved His Name Was Death by Rafael Bernal and I wanted to recommend it. Not quite dystopian, but it is a diary of an ecological apocalypse. Short and fun!

this is for real my favorite reading of this, potentially my favorite audiobook of all time. the way you all deliver your lines is so unique and unmatched-even when i read it, i read it in your cadence now. thank you for making this!!

The ones I've read ================================= The Road Starship Troopers The Forever War Hyperion Left Hand of Darkness Ender's Game TBR ================================= Three Body Problem Barrayar (I've read the first 5 books so far) Exhalation Snow Crash How are these missing? ================================= Dune Stanger in a Strange Land The Moon is a Harsh Mistress Childhoods End The Children of Time Anathem Ringworld

I finished this novel a few days ago. It now ranks in my top 20 of all time. I will be re-reading it every couple years. A masterpiece.

Project Hail Mary is another good first contact book, with humor mixed with plausability.

what song is this

Spoilers: Finished the book last night. Great read. Comparing the Red Laws to what is happening in the book is a huge reach and not an intelligent one. Humans have been abusing other human races since the beginning of recorded history. It wasn't one race that committed all the wrongs. All of the human races have committed wrongs. So, it's terrible comparison and really shallow to suggest a link. I liked the ending very much. I kind of anticipated it. It's how I believe a higher intelligence would handle it. The AI would understand the irrational fear of humans trying to protect themselves, just as humans would understand how a beehive might try defend itself. The slowing of time reminded me of the Bose - Einstein condensate that can slow a 2 mile laser light into 2 inches, actually slowing down the light (something I saw in a documentary). I thought the handling of the story wasn't too complex, given the immense topics. Certain things were unexplained and left to think about (the Vigilance, the Priors) which I like. Actually, I'm a little disappointed that the shatterlings haven't progressed in casting off certain human traits after millions of years. Jealousy, anger, revenge, etc are all still part of their makeup. I would have thought they'd be more Buddhist or Spock-like. It Begs the question, do we ever "grow up" or will humans always carry these irrational feelings. Pursalane and Campion are on the perfect world now, a different Garden of Eden. Maybe we'll learn from our mistakes, quell our negative traits and handle it better this time. I wish them the best of luck.

18 Billion people, not 10. It's easy to imagine Earth riven by conflict and deprivation, because that's what it's like right now.

I’m sold. I got chills just listening to your summary and description.

Do deepness in the Sky next. Kinda the opposite of Blindsight, but just as good, if not better

I’m 10 min into ur video and I have to just say this: who gives a flying fuck abt spoilers. You know what I’m not going to do before reading a book? Watch a half hour long video about it. The first thing I did when I finished this book was jump on RUclips because I wanted to hear other peoples take on the story and the concepts behind it. There’s nothing more irritating than listening to people dance around the subject because they don’t wanna spoil it for some asshole who decided to do their best to learn everything about a book before actually reading it

We are Bob was awesome!!! Also, ready player one was beach bathroom homeless vomit.

Nice job, fellas! I had fun with it overall. What did you end up rating it, Cody? Brent gave it a three, but other than you liking it more, I didn’t catch it. I’ll omment more on the Discord.

Discovering you guys channel is like finding a gold coin in the beach

I just read Dune and it's awesome BUT it's like 95% fantasy hiding in a sci-fi trenchcoat. I said what I said

Theory (multiple spoilers!) The humans colony here is one of the ships of humans that got cut off from last book of Expanse (as the gates closed off). Over time Dafyd and that human moeity, they make contact with other cut off human colonies and eventually make contact with Amos. Finally with the protomolecule tech they have a way to fight back the Carryx.

I am happy to hear that this new series is different from The Expanse. If I wanted The Expanse, I would just reread the series.

Humans coexisting with crystal life reminds me of Unicorn Jelly.

I enjoyed the book, but I think it has a fundamental incoherence at its core. The Carryx harvest intelligence and knowledge -- super cool idea, and a good critique of all other alien invasion stories where aliens invade because of some (super common) resource. However, for an alien species that understands the scarcity of intelligence and knowledge, the Carryx are way too quick to mass murder. So it seems to me that the authors had a great idea about a realistic motivation for alien invasion, but didn't follow the consequences of this idea very well. This idea would imply an alien species more similar to the aliens in Arthur Clarke's End of Childhood than the ultra-violence of the Carryx. Also, the authors equate intelligence with a small group of high performers, neglecting how much intelligence is embedded in the social system as a whole. The Carryx destroy 1/8th of the humans, which should lead to a significant loss of knowledge, contrary to their goals.

I'll reserve judgement on the series until there's a few more books finished but overall I was pretty bored by this one. I'll give that a pass though because world building.

Sorry, but as a life-long science fiction lover I cringe every time I hear the term "sci-fi". "Sci-fi" was a term that was coined by the science fiction community back in the 1930s to describe BAD science fiction, particularly the trashy pulps that were gaining popularity at the time. The favoured abbreviation was/is SF for the real McCoy and sci-fi to describe the junk.

You guys rock

Just the books that were movies and tv shows? No dune anywhere? I think you made this list just for the comments

I was certain his pronunciation of "segue" was a joke! 😅

Very strange some of your top 5 doesn't made my top 50. I like fe Ender's Game but I can't see why so many have it so high Some of my favourites UBIK Solaris Ringworld The Stars My Destination Citizen of the Galaxy The City And the Stars Roadside Picnic Santiago The Lord of Light Slaughterhouse Five The Gods Themselves

Great review! I too was really impressed by UKL's even handedness and willingness to discuss the pros and cons of either society. Ambiguous indeed!

Really good list!

Could not get past the first page of this book because of two glaring errors: 1) 100 million years per day, but the sun's "death throws" in 40 years? No. The sun will die in about 7-8 billion years. On this scale it's not 40 years but 70-80 days. 2) The first page describes "from Bombay on the eastern coast of India to Madras on the west" - it's the other way around. Sorry, if the author doesn't know simple math or astronomy and the editors can't catch a glaring geographical error, I have no interest in reading the rest of the book.

he did say 1997.
