Getting a little tired of lazy #SciFi. Capitalism cannot survive a multi-planet, spacefaring civilisation. If you need scarcity, introduce something rare and important (Dune: spice). Logistics is always the most interesting part of economics. How to get stuff to where its needed, raw materials to manufacturing, manufactured goods to distribution. Food, furniture, clothing. That should always be the first step in your #WorldBuilding.

Hi, I'm Marianne, AKA Noodlemaz!
I've actually been here since 2022 but my old instance just got shut down (med-mastodon refugee). Please follow me again here 🙃
I'm a science communicator based in London, UK.
I'm in London's nerdiest choir, Ready Singer One - we do music from video games, film and TV!
My PhD was in cancer biology; molecular pathology of cancer.
I love games, nature, SciFi friends (hi!), music etc. and look forward to chatting here

I’ve only read the first book, but I get why it’s considered to be unadaptable. Makes me appreciate this version all the more: “By prioritizing intellectual and thematic ambition over strict fidelity, Foundation accomplishes what many adaptations fail to do. It feels authentically Isaac Asimov without being constrained by his limitations as a novelist, translating his legacy into a modern, compelling, and deeply thoughtful space opera.”

I'm trawling through networks like #Syfy for something good. Preferably #scifi. So far I've added #Helix, #BloodDrive, #Sliders, #LostGirl, #Warehouse13, #DarkMatter, #Gracepoint and #MarvelsJessicaJones. Where should I start? :-)
