I need some new science fiction to read, who has some suggestions? I don't like military sci-fi. For reference, my favorite series is the Expanse, I also enjoyed Scalzi's Collapsing Empire, I love Robert Charles Wilson's books. I mostly enjoy space operas and unique stories about technology, for example I really liked the recent book Mountain in the Sea about AI and intelligent octopus. Suggestions from the awesome Bookstodon community? @bookstodon

Try In Ascension by Martin McInnes. Its one of the best things I have read in a while.

All along they've told us it would be so easy... just recycle some of your trash, or ride a bike once in a while, and everything will be fine.

There's no need to even think about system change. 🙄

Despite its claim that the goal of the war in Gaza is the elimination of Hamas, Israel's actions reveal its true intention: the collapse of Palestinian society

on the first day of the Israli assault on Gaza I said to my wife that the aim is to drive the remaining Palestinians into the sea. I have not been proved wrong.

My grandfather would be out in the dark gardening by the light of a hurricane lamp to grow food and veg to put on the table for his family.

Let's talk a little more about collapse. We know it's coming, and in fact may already be underway, but how soon will it truly be noticeable not only to those of us who are 'collapse-aware' but to everyone else?

A few excerpts from an essay titled: "How Can We Tell When the Fall of Civilization Has Begun?"

It won’t be a dramatic overnight thing. It will be gradual. Like climate change, there will be periods of intensity followed by lulls where you can almost pretend things are normal. But they’re not.

Increasingly, political strife and climate change will twine themselves inextricably together like a vine crawling up the walls of our fragile social and logistical constructs, exploiting cracks and crevices until what we know as civilization fails.

Who could imagine the world wasn’t big enough to hold all eight billion and more of us? Who could imagine exponential growth was not possible in a finite world? Who could imagine we would run out of oil someday without having something else ready to take its place? Who could imagine the failure of a sophisticated technological civilization?

A few people. Just not the right ones and not nearly enough of them.

The collapse of civilisation began when one Neolithic man with a big stick in his hand said "All of this food is mine". What is more civilised than sharing your food with your community.
