scifi

Hello everyone! 👋👋👋

I've just joined the Fediverse, and I chose @zirk.us bc I'm most interested in #literature and the arts more broadly. I also created a #reading account via #Bookwyrm @d-integration, and a Fediverse-supported #blog (launching today) for my writings at @weaver.

I'm most interested in #SpeculativeFiction, especially #SciFi and the #Weird, #ArabLit, #SocialCritique, #CriticalTheory, #Philosophy, and all things #Surreal and/or #reality breaking.

#Introduction

My latest #ScienceFiction #novel is available in #eBook format!! 💫

It's about two women undercover agents who find themselves in need of a new pilot in order to complete their mission.

It is set in universe of empire and #colonialism and the dispossessing of indigenous people.

"Little Brother" von Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) handelt davon, wie schnell die eigene Heimat zum Feindstaat werden kann, wenn die Freiheit der Sicherheit untergeordnet wird. Und davon wie schnell die Technik, die uns ermächtigt und vernetzt, zum Mittel der Überwachung und Unterdrückung werden kann. Dabei macht Doctorow Mut mit den Mitteln der Technik für die Demokratie zu kämpfen. #bücherwabe #chemnitz #bücher #literatur #lesen #books #literature #bookstodon #scifi #politik #politics

Enough with the sexy Asian lady robots! In my latest column for New Scientist, I talk about techno-Orientalism, and why it has inspired so much bad thinking about the future -- in fiction and public policy. #scifi #futurism #technology #science

2025 #Introduction update:

Currently finishing up what has become a 14-year project of producing an 18-minute #FreeCulture #OpenMovie #SciFi #Animation pilot episode using #FreeSoftware authoring tools like #Blender3D #Kdenlive #Audacity and more.

Hopefully episode 2 will go faster!

On this day in 1938, BBC Television aired the first science fiction TV program, an adaptation of a section of the Karel Čapek play R.U.R.. This play is also famous for coining the term "robot" from robota, or "forced labor", derived from "rab", meaning "slave".

Happy to announce that my short story "Virus Alert" has been published on Every Day Fiction! Just a very short tale about the monsters we create. This one has been kicking around since the W Bush era, so I'm really glad it finally found a home, and in these times of pandemic and paranoia, I feel like it still has a lot of relevance. Why not give it a read? It's not like the government is monitoring you or anything... https://everydayfiction.com/virus-alert-xauriel-zwaan/

Hey folks, I'm adding this pinned post on advice from @FediTips
(whom I recommend you follow)

My interests are #HigherEd, #education in general, #SciFi, how people network through #SocialMedia (less the biz/marketing stuff, though I make exceptions).

I'm more active on Bluesky, tbh. I'm @ harmonygritz.bsky.social. You'll find my longtime "rainbow" profile image from Twitter/X there.

Fast food for thought. New worlds, cool cats, and fresh ideas—follow Inkican for fun sci-fi stories and friendly vibes. Change the world by changing yourself- one story at a time.
