The Art of Time Travel: How Sci-Fi Has Changed
Over the few years, I’ve found myself reading more classic science fiction than usual. Recently, I read Larry Niven’s Ringworld series for and Arthur C. Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama for the first time, followed by Clarke’s Childhood’s End, a favorite of mine from adolescence. While I loved each of them, I couldn’t help but notice how much these classic…

What’s On My TBR?
Keeping it light this week because I’m extra busy with new projects and a regular hobby jumping into overtime. Add to that the fact that I just finished my first book of the year (yes, I know, I am way behind on my reading goal, and while I have broken my slump, it’s still been…

EdiE: Diesel-Punk PC No More, Long Live MCM Retro-Future PC
About a year ago, I shared that I was going to be building a diesel-punk PC. Life got hectic, and that project, having only just gotten started, was put on the indefinite back burner. But then my every-day PC died, and due to financial constraints, I was forced to long-term-borrow a friend’s laptop in order…

Artemis II & Science Fiction
As a life-long enthusiast of science fiction, science fact, and space exploration as a concept, I have always sort of (and perhaps naively) took it for granted that we would one day go back to the moon. It felt like an inevitability to me. Yet, now that it’s finally happening (assuming the drive towards Artemis…

Subgenre Defined: Space-Western
If there’s one constant in all my rantings and ravings about what I watch, what I read, and what I write, it is my love for a good genre mashup. And if I had to choose a favorite from among these niche subgenres, a good space-western would rank very high. (It would have, to be…

My Favorite Book Series: The Dark Tower
Last week, while discussing the books I already own that I’d like to get around to reading, I mentioned that high fantasy has never been one of my favorite genres. And while that is extremely true, it doesn’t mean I don’t like some fantasy. Case in point, my favorite book series of all time is…

5 Books I Own That I Need to Finally Read
They say buying books and reading books are different hobbies. If that’s true, then I indulge in both, and thus have a shelf full of books I fully intend to read. I even actually get around to reading some of them too. But, alas, there are still a number that haunt me, and yet I…

My Top 5 Sci-Fi Books
I have always been a child of science fiction–which is kind of odd, since neither of my parents were super into it when I was a kid. I don’t know where it came from (though I suspect it was the syndicated Star Trek I watched during the day at my grandparents’ house). But wherever it…

TBR Piles: How I Choose What to Read Next
When I was a little kid, I was a massively avid reader. I would often read three books at a time: whatever I had been assigned for English, and two more for my own pleasure. I consumed books at an incredible rate, and was thus a frequent visitor of my local and school libraries. I…
