Takeshi kovacs novels5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() Hard science fiction is characterized by several features that distinguish it from other subgenres. By using scientific principles as a foundation, these stories can create a sense of realism that draws readers in and encourages them to think critically about the implications of scientific progress. The essential idea behind hard science fiction is to create a plausible narrative based on current scientific understanding.īut why is scientific accuracy so important in this subgenre? The answer lies in the fact that hard science fiction attempts to explore the possibilities of the future by extrapolating from what we know today. Although these books take place in imaginative settings and feature advanced technologies, they remain grounded in real-world scientific principles, making them more plausible than other works in the genre. ![]() Hard science fiction is a subgenre that places great importance on scientific accuracy and consistent logic. ![]()

Conservation of shadows by yoon ha lee5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() Lee has a connoisseur’s reserve in terms of her online presence, but also a connoisseur’s obsessive energy. “They are connoisseurs of writing in Imulai Mokarengen, the city whose name means inkblot of the gods.” There is immense beauty in Yoon Ha Lee’s prose-beauty enough to “assassinate” the reader, as she discusses below. ![]() Even the act of remembrance creases the truth.” “It is not true that the dead cannot be folded,” Lee writes in the opening paragraph of “ Ghostweight.” “Square becomes kite becomes swan history becomes rumor becomes song. No two of Lee’s stories are alike, except for a similar pulse powering each word, each juxtaposition, each startling turn of events. Each tale strains at the edges of possibility. There are soldiers and scientists, space travel and dragons, leather-bound books, locked doors, and genocidal rampages. Lee’s many worlds seem to multiply exponentially with each paragraph, and each turned page. Yoon Ha Lee’s collection Conservation of Shadows contains sixteen stories, but seems far faster in the reading. ![]()

Chicken with plums novel5/22/2023 ![]() Marjane Satrapi: If it’s a good work of adaptation, the book should remain a book and the film should remain a film, and you should not necessarily read the book to see the film.

She also discussed her upcoming project, Tale of the Hanging Head. ![]() In an exclusive interview, Satrapi talked to us about the graphic novel that inspired the film, what it was like shifting from animation to live action direction, what fueled her creative collaboration with Paronnaud, and how she dealt with the challenges of marrying distinctly different visual styles and genres in a non-linear storyline.

Eclipse Child by Kirsten A. Everett5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() High School Musical 2 shows the East High Wildcats in the offseason as they turn to summer jobs at a country club in their native Arizona. The third chapter in the saga of Alex the lion ( Ben Stiller) and his Central Park Zoo pals… has timing up the wazoo."įrankly, we think these kids are more fun when you take them out of school. ![]() As EW 's critic wrote, "In animation, the next best thing to a grand vision is crack comic timing. The opening chase scene across Monte Carlo by an obsessed animal control officer (voiced by an excellent Frances McDormand) raised the cumulative blood pressure of the audience by at least a few points, and things just got more madcap from there.Įventually, the troupe meets up with a Russian circus for a finale to the tune of Katy Perry's "Firework," which truly is fireworks-worthy, helping cement Madagascar 3 as the most purely entertaining installment. ![]() Madagascar 3 took that staid formula and kicked the absurdity up about 10 notches. The true high points of the franchise were the secret agent penguins and eccentric lemurs the quartet met along the way. The first two Madagascar movies were okay, following four disparate animal friends from a New York zoo who must somehow adapt to life in the wild. ![]()
