Post: Pantheon

This Netflix series spends seasons 1 and 2 mostly looking at the revolution of uploads on a near-future world. But that last episode of season 2 hits serious transapient territory.

Pantheon seasons 1 and 2 largely look at the revolution of the first uploads on a near-future world. But, wow, the last episode of season 2 hits fast forward. Matrioshka brain? Nice.

Post: RE: Tiger Splices expansion/rewrite

I rather liked The Seams, though I like the point that some of its description of the sephriotics is off the mark. Some of the sephriotics grant their residents vast freedoms. In particular, the NoCoZ...
