Book Review: ‘The Thousand Earths’
"Hackett wakes to a future in which the Sun is a white dwarf, Milkomeda is dying, and the rest of the Universe is beyond visibility, due to accelerated expansion driven by dark energy."

Stephen Baxter - Evolution.
Ich soll keine Werbung machen aber ich muss einfach.
Passend zum Buch eine Grafik, die 4,6 Milliarden Jahre Erdzeit illustriert und auf den Daten der United States Geological Survey (USGS) aufbaut.

@MariNemo @demiller and #Sheena5 by #StephenBaxter https://variety-sf.blogspot.com/2007/10/stephen-baxters-sheena-5-when-humans.html

I'm terms of the best of Baxter, I would personally recommend Evolution, it's a hundred million year story of survival. The journey of our animal ancestors and our animal descendants.

In fact "Evolution" was the wrong title for the book, its far more about the passing of one generation to another than it is about adaption.

"Descent" would have been a better choice.

Okay, #introduction
I put it off because there is 🫧 where my memory should be. Hi, I'm Sygin. I'm queer, nonbinary and very, very not a man. Also depressed and anxious. I like video games, rats and making soup. Some sort of anarcho - collectivist because hierarchies rarely lead to good things and individualism is for chumps. Talk to me about #stephenbaxter books. I live on TERF island. It's been kind of rough, but I hope y'all are having at least an ok day.

Step “sideways” into the world(s) created by the combined forces of #terrypratchett and #StephenBaxter. SF with a twist.

Here's a quick pre-bedtime attempt at my own seven favourite authors...

#TerryPratchett
#AndyWeir
#NeilGaiman
#JohnScalzi
#NealStephenson
#StephenBaxter
#DouglasAdams

Pratchett always had the top spot, others are interchangeable and often swap with other writers depending on where my head is at. Always love a bit of comedy though!
