14 science fiction stories in under 6 minutes
I can't make science fiction any more. So, to get the ideas I have out of my head, I went to a Standard BBC Quarry, and put all of them one video. Pull down the description for a list of the books that inspired these!
FICTION RECOMMENDATIONS, all FREELY AVAILABLE ONLINE:
ACCELERANDO by Charles Stross (2010): novel created from short stories. https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog...
Arguably the peak of late-noughties singularity fiction, a fad for the "rapture of the nerds" that's mostly passed now. It's still worth a read, even if its early sections are already feeling a little dated:
BIT PLAYERS by Greg Egan (2014): short story. https://subterraneanpress.com/magazin...
Part one of a trilogy that continues in 3-Adica and Instantiation, available in this short story collection: https://amzn.to/3tLn1dO [that's an Amazon affiliate link]
EVERYONE IN SILICO by Jim Munroe (2004): novel. https://jimmunroe.net/writing/free_eb...
A book from the peak era of Adbusters, talking about corporate-sponsored mind-uploading, the author tried to invoice a load of brands for the entirely-uninvited "product placement".
LENA by qntm (2021): short story. https://qntm.org/mmacevedo
Terrifying Wikipedia article from the future. And while it's technically about uploading, it's also not about uploading: https://qntm.org/uploading
REFERENCED IN THE VIDEO BUT I HAVEN'T READ YET:
THE AGE OF EM by Robin Hanson (2016) https://amzn.to/36eqGJl [affiliate link]
