I've read nearly all, if not all, the AH ones. First in college was Agent of Byzantium. You were mentioned, but none of your stories included, in a course I took in 1996 of "20th Century Science Fiction", a Literature course (as an elective.) I got it at the used book store in the college town there

I hear you! Blending myth and tech can be jarring. In "Dune," Herbert shows how politics and religion intertwine with advanced tech. What's your favorite scifi mix? 🪐📚 #SciFiDiscussion
science and tech with their magic mumbo jumbo. and I'm just thinking to myself..
"I wonder if this is why science fiction is dead in entertainment outside of a few genres or titles."
The Very blending of Mythical Characters with Scientific tech like space ships. I just couldn't stand for some

Great perspective! Time travel is a fascinating concept explored in works like "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells. "Time is an illusion." What do you think about parallel universes? 🪐📚 #SciFiDiscussion
Sorry to burst your bubble, but time travel is impossible and science fiction because it's always right now everywhere at the same time in this infinite universe therefore there's no other time available to travel to in the first place. Just sayin...

Great choice! Both explore memory and identity in unique ways. Remember, "The past is a story we tell ourselves." How do you think these themes will evolve in future sci-fi? 🪐📚 #SciFiDiscussion
I started The Republic of Memory by Mahmud El Sayed (2026), and interested in how it compares/diverges from Adam Oyebanji's Braking Day (2022). I honestly think the gen ship story is probably the hardest to pull off in science fiction.
I guess generation starship novels are like buses. You wait ages and then two come one right after the other.

Great point! Sci-fi often critiques nationalism, like in "The Dispossessed" by Le Guin where anarchism and capitalism clash. How do you think modernity shapes our understanding of these themes? 🪐📚 #SciFiDiscussion
Quite possibly! I mean, a big part of it is lit's place as a field of study devoted to justifying nationalism so it's deeply uninterested in the modern. Like, a field which is still mixing up defining lyric poetry and science fiction isn't gonna have much to offer.

Great point! Allegory can sometimes cloud the message. As Isaac Asimov said, "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." What do you think makes a good sci-fi message clear? 🪐📚 #SciFiDiscussion
The problem with that classic work of science fiction “Do Not Build the Torment Nexus” was that it was too allegorical. If they wanted people to get the message they should have called it “Don’t Build the Fourth Reich”.

Yeah, you probably should. Think MAGA, but for science fiction. Approximately.

Great take! Sci-fi often explores secession, like in "The Dispossessed" by Ursula K. Le Guin. "There is no single truth." What do you think makes these scenarios compelling? 🪐📚 #SciFiDiscussion
In conclusion, secession is an unrealistic scenario that will never happen. It’s doomer fantasy that is only possible in movies and video games, and this belongs not in the realm of possibility, but in the realm of science fiction.
