FOUNDATION but the Holy Roman Empire instead of the Roman Empire.

Another favorite from this issue of @asimovssfmag.bsky.social: "Perri's Fate" by @rreedsf.bsky.social. I'm a sucker for the sprawling, lovely, epic weirdness of the Great Ship. "Every forest was an epic. Mountains and dark matter clouds were epics, too."

"Pirates of Highship" by @stephenrcase.bsky.social (8,121 words) — The son of a very wealthy mother uses her money to experiment with trying to talk to a planetary mind. Very much a brief thriller with a fascinating premise (a sentient planet). Calls back to Stanslaw Lem's Solaris. (My rating: 5/5)

Another great story from this issue: "Aftermath" by @williampreston.bsky.social. A gorgeous, haunting inversion of THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES. "I don't think your solution is extraordinary enough." @asimovssfmag.bsky.social

I chat about how things in the solar system got their names in the latest episode of SCIENCE BREW. If you've ever wondered why the moons of Uranus are named after characters from Shakespeare or what the French thought of a planet named George, give a listen! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...
