Hey y’all, just finished The Prefect by Alastair Reynolds. It’s the first in his Tom Dreyfus trilogy. I really liked it. Honestly it might be the most assessable of his works that I’ve read. As with a...

Post: RE: Blindsight

Glad y’all liked it. I’d say that I didn’t dislike it. I think I suffered from going in with to high of expectations. I had seen Blindsight on a few lists of the “best sci-fi books you haven’t read.” ...

Post: RE: K2-18b life?

So I’ll confess having only read the news articles when this came out and some YouTube videos I thought the case for life was stronger. But from what y’all are saying this is most likely bunk?

Post: RE: Suggested Bufos, Bufies update

Good idea to expand this article. So are we treating the term bufos (Anura) as a general term for all frog provolves or as a specific lineage? Even if we don’t include a detailed history when do we th...
