A brief update before my next review
A brief update before my next review
So, I noticed its been too long since I’ve posted and I hope I haven’t disappointed any of you! I’ve recently started a new job, moved to a new state, and joined a new writing group. Life has been hectic but enjoyable and I wouldn’t change it for anything. Fresh starts are so exciting! Anyway, I want to share a bit about each of these changes.
The new job
As of two weeks ago, I have been…

A Review of Legion: The Many Lives of stephen leeds
I see it differently—but even if we admit that the word applies to me, it applies to you too. The longer I’ve lived, the more I’ve realized everyone is neurotic in their own individual way. I have control of my psychoses. How about you?

My Top 5 sci-fi novels
I’m not even 30 yet so I’m sure this list will change, but here are my favorite sci-fi stories so far:
5. Post-Human series by David Simpson
The desire to become stronger, faster, smarter…to push the limits of the human body and redefine what it means to be Homo sapiens sapiens, is probably captured best in this series than any other.
4. Simulacron-3 by Daniel F. Galouye

Do we live for pleasure only?
Is pleasure such a strong desire that it’s all we seek, even if it comes with giving up other faculties?
“The people have made their choice, Martin. You can’t change history.”
The film, Narcopolis, paints the picture of a future where all drugs are legal, at least those sold by Ambro Corp. Surely, this pursuit must be enjoyable (most people take drugs because they are enjoyable),but is it too enjoyable? Is pleasure such a strong desire that it’s all we seek, even if it comes with giving up other…

The brevity of life and the dilemma of self-preservation
Imagine that you could write a letter that would be saved for all time, a letter that would make you a little less negligible. What would your last words be?
It’s no secret: life is hard. And unless Biogerontology (a field of science aiming to slow the aging process) pans out, we all have an incredibly short time to live. In the same vein, unless you’re one of the lucky ones who were capable of making a significant mark on human history, you’re likely to be forgotten. But imagine that you could write a letter that would be saved for all time, a letter…

Are children indebted to their parents? Maybe not...
After Darkness and whether children are indebted to their parents.
You will live however I want you to live! You understand me?
Raymond, After Darkness
Raymond, the Bruce Wayne-esque father in this sci-fi drama.
After Darkness is your typical, solar catastrophe sci-fi flick. I mean, just check out its Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ratings. Basically, the Sun is dying and humanity is going to…

There are so many themes and motifs in the science fiction genre. Here are my absolute favorites!
2047 Virtual Revolution
Can a good life be lived inside a Virtual Reality Program?
The revolution came, but not in the way we expected.
Nash, a private investigator, is working for a major Virtual Reality company called Synternis. In this future, 75% of the world’s population is Connected, meaning they spend most of their time inside the VR called Verses.
Nash is considered a hybrid: he spends equal amounts of…
