Project Hyperion awards best generational spacecraft concept. Runners-up and honorable mentions also presented. I’m working on Christian sci-fi novel Basilica Obscura about space ark—bioship a la Octavia Butler’s Lilith’s Brood, haves and have-not per Metropolis.

James Cameron warns of Terminator-style apocalypse, anticipated long before his 1984 film. Sci-fi has history of predicting advances and their consequences. Jules Verne—flying machines, submersibles. HG Wells—atom bomb.

Avi Loeb strikes again—Harvard’s wackiest faculty since Timothy Leary. Don’t worry about marauding aliens—we’re on track to destroy ourselves long before they get here.

I just gave a presentation on the biblical themes in Interstellar. But as the article says, still no chance of getting information or yourself back out (unless you’re Matthew McConaughey.)

Scientists have found 'evidence' of advanced alien civilisations
No actual news. Just the ongoing search for Dyson spheres. Excess infrared radiation is the tipoff, with a handful of candidate sightings identified by Project Hephaistos. Real tipoff will be when a Dyson sphere is listed with Sotheby’s.

Sci-fi writer Charles Stross' dark take on Silicon Valley 'religion'
I teach that scripture and sci-fi share the lesson: playing God leads to trouble. Tech worship a Torment Nexus, a cautionary fiction made real by people who miss the point.

In 1950, A Shockingly Dark Sci-Fi Adventure Tried To Predict The Space Race
Rocketship X-M, quickie ripoff of Destination Moon. Astronauts discover Martian civilization destroyed by nuclear war, leaving behind mutant cavemen. Many science flubs. Even more numerous sexist remarks. Still, better than expected, enhanced with special effects shots added in the 1970s.
