This is something Adam Roberts brings up in his book "The History of Science Fiction", which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about the genre. Can’t wait for you to see it!

Hi guys, Quinn here. I’m about to go hit the gym and work off all those donuts 😅 but I just wanted to let you guys know that tomorrow a new video drops! It’s all about the philosophical reasoning behind why science fiction fears artificial intelligence.

I’m really happy because I finally perfected my homemade donut recipe! And I’m also excited because my new video exploring Area X will drop around this time next week. With this newest book, Absolution, Jeff VanderMeer is definitely setting the standard for modern cosmic horror!

Hi, it's Quinn here! I wanted to tell you guys that my new 30-minute video will come out this weekend. It's on the short story, "Nightfall" by Isaac Asimov. I'll also talk about the novel adaptation that came 50 years later.

I had no idea that was based on a Clive Barker story! But as soon as I started reading it, I recognized it.

Now that it's September, I can read scary stories again. I'm on volume five of Books of Blood by Clive Barker and came across a story called "The Forbidden." I had NO IDEA that this is where the movie Candyman came from!!

New video Tomorrow! This one will delve into an extremely influential but lesser-known novel by Ursula K. Le Guin. It’s a story that doesn’t just imagine another world, it warns us about our own. The Word For World is Forest.

New video coming out Wednesday or Thursday! We're delving into some heavy topics with this one and tracing the origins of a subgenre of science fiction that is still one of the most popular. That's right, we're going to discuss the origin of the modern dystopian sci-fi novel! 📚 #ScienceFiction

My new video on Tau Zero by Poul Anderson is now on Youtube! It’s an extremely influential classic sci-fi book about relativity and time dilation. It features a crew that essentially becomes trapped within time.
