Blindsight er historien om menneskehedens første møde med en sær alien-race i året 2082. Omkring gasplaneten “Big Ben” svæver det fremmede rumskib “Rorschach.” Bogen undersøger intelligens og bevidsthed, i mødet med en et helt andet livsform, set gennem øjnene på Siri Keaton, et menneske der selv står isoleret fra menneskeheden efter han som barn har fået opereret halvdelen af hjernen væk, og fuldstændig mangler empati. Peter Watts udgav bogen i 2006, og den er i dag en del af creative commons. Jens og Anders SCIFI SNAKKER sig igennem Blindsight.

Scott Sigler's Galactic Football League (GFL) Series Scott Sigler The GFL is a "Space Opera" series of books described as STAR WARS meets THE BLINDSIDE meets THE GODFATHER. Set in a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future, THE ROOKIE is a story that combines the intense gridiron action of "Any Given Sunday" with the space opera style of "Star Wars" and the criminal underworld of "The Godfather." Aliens and humans alike play positions based on physiology, creating receivers that jump 25 feet into the air, linemen that bench-press 1,200 pounds, and linebackers that literally want to eat you. Organized crime runs every franchise, games are fixed, and rival players are assassinated. This multi-part scifi/crime/sports mashup follows a professional American football team across a far-future galaxy. Travel to new worlds, meet new races, and put their quarterback into the dirt. Each novel and novella in the series is or will have its own season, so be sure to start from the beginning.</ Classic Audiobook Collection Classic Audiobook Collection LLC Explore over a thousand great books by authors from the ancient world through to the twentieth century.

D. Biagi Loyal Books Published in 1911, 15 years before the first verified discovery of the North Pole and in the same year when F. Cook published a memoir claiming his own discovery of the Pole, this short SciFi about the discovery of the Pole and the civilisation on the other side which is supposedly 6 centuries in advance compared to our own, was doomed to sink in the unknown from the beginning on. But reading it a century later, this SciFi shows its own charm by conveying the general sentiment in the society short before the big discovery and the motivation behind the continued exploration despite the associated hardships. Some predictions, such as the manmade diamonds, even came true very recently, while some others are overtaken by the real advancement in science already. - Summary by gyllila
