Excellent stuff, all the drama and movement is right there, and we know we only have seconds to save our heroes because they have no space suits.

I’m rereading the 1952 #ScienceFiction classic #TheSpaceMerchants by #FrederikPohl and #CMKornbluth before teaching it again this summer. It’s always been compelling, but wow, it hits different in 2025.
If you loved the #HotelReverie episode of #BlackMirror then you'll probably enjoy reading something quite similar in #KimNewman 's ripping 1989 novel #NightMayor
Maybe, one day, mainstream SF telly will be less than 36 years behind written SF... 
"A girl named Sandy."
When Paul Eric Carmichael, an older British astrophysicist, meets Sandy, a young girl from the United States, his life goes overboard in more than one way.
And what are those strange flying objects that seem to be heading towards our solar system?

Rari reviews "Specimen" by C. Quince, Prism Agents book 1:
"I knew the author though Bluesky, so I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while. I loved it. It’s an extremely well written book... A sci-fi tale with a dash of spies and assassins and a lot of queer. You will love this book."

Good overview of Torment Nexus concept. In the end, sci-fi doesn’t teach people to be evil. It simply amplifies today’s evil with tomorrow’s technology.

"he injected his efforts with the aspiration to raise his output to the condition of literature"
-- Lethem on Phil Dick
I like the mental image I get of literature as a "condition"!
I made a new reaction meme - Jeff Bridges screaming in Tron - saved the original at the end so you can use it, too.
