  Backrooms is avant-garde art for normies 17.06.2026 14min

  It’s 1990. This morning I found an open door in the shopping centre of the dull commuter town I live in. Beyond the door are a series of large empty rooms, poorly lit, with large boxes. Backrooms. I phoned my friend Matthew Woods. Woodsy. He pedaled over his BMX and together we’re going to exploreContinue reading "Backrooms is avant-garde art for normies"

  2026 : the year World War 3 begins 16.05.2026 32min

  To my Gen-X compatriots, to the Boomers and Millenials, and to Gen-Z who will have to clean up this mess we all made… …can we agree that Star Trek is the future we would all like? A future in which poverty is eradicated, disease is a mere curiosity of the past, humanity has put asideContinue reading "2026 : the year World War 3 begins"

  You don’t understand science fiction 26.04.2026 35min

  There is a single narrative technique that connects almost every multi-billion dollar science fiction franchise ever made. It is the invisible engine powering the most successful stories of the last century. And yet, if you ask ten working Hollywood screenwriters what it is, nine of them will give you a blank stare—and the tenth willContinue reading "You don’t understand science fiction"

  The First Dystopia 14.04.2026 13min

  We by Yevgeny Zamyatin is a novel written at the beginning of the future. It’s hard to remember today, after Logan’s Run, The Handmaid’s Tale and Hunger Games made “dystopia” an entertainment genre, but when Yevgeny Zamyatin was writing in the early 1920s, it was only beginning to dawn on humanity just how bad the future might be. OrContinue reading "The First Dystopia"

  A note for listeners of the Science Fiction podcast 06.04.2026 21min

  We are in a war on podcasting. Podcasts are one of the last survivors of Web1.0, the era that gave us cool things like Wikipedia and the Blogosphere, back when “information wanted to be free”. Today information wants to generate clickthrough ad revenue.

  Project Hail Mary is a Male Pattern Fantasy 01.04.2026 27min

  It's Scifi. It's Romance. It's Fantasy. It's SciMANtasy 😱 Let's see if we can make Gary an Amazon bestseller so he doesn't ask for his money back. 🔗👇 The Last Sysadmin in Sector 7 : a SCIMANTASY novel https://amzn.to/4lXiqjF # The Ultimate Male Pattern Fantasy ​What if the greatest science fiction dream isn't discovering alien life or saving the human race, but simply being left completely alone in a room to do math? ​Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary is a masterpiece of hard sci-fi engineering, but beneath the astrophage and the orbital mechanics lies a deeply comforting psychological trope. We are looking at the "Male Pattern Fantasy"—the idea that the ultimate hero is just an ordinary, highly competent guy who solves the universe's problems in absolute, blissful isolation (and somehow looks exactly like Ryan Gosling while doing it). ​Whether you find this trope to be a lovely, optimistic vision of human competence or a pathetic retreat from social reality, it is currently dominating modern science fiction.

  How the Matrix reclaimed the Red Pill 22.02.2026 42min

  The best way to understand the broken, crazed, indulgent filmography of the Wachowski’s is as a quest to make the Matrix movie the Matrix would never make. Time. Is money. And in the cold unfeeling eyes of Hollywood a “movie” is just a business strategy to convert two hours of your time into shareholder value.Continue reading "How the Matrix reclaimed the Red Pill"
