Ep. 86: Daryl Gregory, Afterparty

from SCIFI SNAK

Daryl Gregory’s Afterparty foregår i en verden tæt på vores. Der heler er blevet lidt smartere, bevares, men det særlige i Afterparty er, at smart drugs nu er alment benyttede i alverdens sammenhænge. Hvis du arbejder for CIA? Værsgo! Her er der nogle analytiker-drugs, som gør dig superskarp og nærværende! Vil du være homoseksuel for en aften? Så pop denne her lilla pille, som vil få dig til at tænde på mænd for en aften. Pengene ligger i bevidsthedsændrende psykofarmaka, som kan printes på simple chemjet-printere. Der er gang i den! Men det er ikke alle stoffer, der bør slippe fri ud i samfundet. Det kan vores hovedperson Lyda Rosa tale med om. Hun er indlagt på en galeanstalt, hvor hun prøver, at komme sig over sin overdosis af stoffet NME-110, eller som det også er kendt: Numinous – stoffet der bringer dig tæt på gud! Afterparty er en rigtig thriller. Den er lidt som at læse Gibson eller Ramez Nahm’s Nexus. Vi har et sidekick som både kanaliserer Molly Millions og Lisbeth Salander på samme tid. Det er både underholdende og originalt på sammen tid. Jens og Anders har SCIFI Snakket Afterparty. Shownotes til Afterparty: Anders var helt oppe og køre over Kim Stanley Robinsons “The Ministry for the Future” Jens fandt endelig noget morsom SCIFI, som også var godt i finnen Mikael Niemis “Sulebulen” – oprindelig anbefalet til os af Mads og Jane Anders har læst Benjamin Percy: “The Ninth Metal” Jens læste med Malka Older: “Infomocracy” – læser på appen Libby, hvor jeg kan læse international SciFi i en ret fed app. Både lytte og læse. Lidt tam start men når man kommer i gang er man hooked! Endelig to Jens hul på den nye Becky Chambers : “A Psalm for the Wild Built” – Helt ny verden tænkt frem af Becky Chambers. Supersjov og spændende og meget sin egen.

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
