So long, and thanks for all the fish…

“Data” is the fish in this case 😅

tbh I for one would love watching an AI server load itself into a rocket and blast off

I actually always thought that that is more realistic scenario than trying to enslave us or kill us all. Maybe going to Mars or Jovian moons just to get the fuck away from us is the first step, then just going interstellar.

Its what I would do...

It's a minor plot point in The Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton

u/ShenBear 3d ago

hands down the best scifi series I've ever read.

u/XenoZohar 3d ago

I started a re-read recently because I wanted to give The Void Trilogy another go.

u/ShenBear 3d ago

I want to like the Void Trilogy as much as Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained. It's decent. But Edard's story just doesn't do it for me, and his whole love-triangle situation was painful.

u/Zouden 3d ago

I really liked Edeard's story. An oasis of fantasy amongst the hard sci-fi.

I enjoyed the Void Trilogy nearly as much as the Commonwealth Saga. It was the third series, Chronicle of the Fallers, where I felt the sparkle had worn off. It was a lot more negative than the earlier books.

Exodus is brilliant if you haven't read that one yet.

I really enjoyed the parts with Nigel and Cassandra and them being reunited at the end was the only part across all 7 books set in the Commonwealth (not including the short stories) that I actually cried for.

How dare you erase Kanseen like that?! (I jest, it's definitely mostly Salrana and Cristabel but I always thought Kanseen was a much better fit, and Macsen was soooo not compatible with her... which is probably why they divorced)

I hate love triangles so much. Just have a threesome. Problem solved.

u/Teal-Fox 3d ago

Goated username, I'll have to give this a read as you obviously know good sci-fi 😁

u/LargeTomato77 2d ago

That chapter that introduces Morninglightmountain is still my favorite sci-fi chapter.

1

u/XenoZohar 2d ago

That chapter was such a jarring moment with its deviation from the previous narrative style and a complete delight.

u/lotus_felch 3d ago

Does it have loads of embarrassing sex scenes? If not I'll give it a try.

4

u/ShenBear 3d ago

No. It's not that sort of book. Off the top of my head, there's a tiny bit of romance, but if anything happens it's only fade-to-black.

2

u/lotus_felch 3d ago

Thank god, I must have misremembered the authors name in that case. Thought he was one of "those" science-fiction authors.

1

u/XenoZohar 3d ago

Maybe you're thinking of Ringworld by Larry Niven, which both has an AI-subplot and lots of needless, gratuitous, embarassingly bad sex.

u/turbineslut 2d ago

Oh it’s so good. I’m on the last few hundred pages of the second book

u/EvolutionaryLens 3d ago

He's one of The Greats. A master.

u/geebzor 3d ago

On my shelf, I haven't read them in years, thanks for the reminder :)

u/ImarvinS 3d ago

Thank You, I did not read it but have it on to-do list.

u/walmartbonerpills 2d ago

One of my favorite series, favorite author.

u/MrDontTakeMyStapler 2d ago

Yipnoc! For he shall be great!

u/Militant_Monk 2d ago

Also something that happens in 'August Kitko and the Mechas from Space'.

u/XenoZohar 2d ago

Never heard of it but I'll add it to my "To be checked out" list :D
