Pulp book cover reimaginings of the original Star Wars trilogy


It is an inaccuracy to say that Star Wars is science fiction. Its true genre is Planetary Romance. Star Wars is an adventure story in the style of Edgar Rice Burroughs A Princess of Mars, Michael Moorcock's Michael Kane of Old Mars, C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy or—quite self-consciously—Flash Gordon. A farmboy stumbles across secret information that leads him to rescue a princess, aided by his two servants, his wizard mentor, a pirate and a friendly giant.

I instantly fell in love with these imaginary book covers by Timothy Anderson, which to me perfectly capture the feel and intention of the original Star Wars film.

This just in: Dystopian science fiction will no longer be sold or streamed in the San Francisco Bay Area or Silicon Valley due to the high risk of it inspiring new tech startups. #tech #scifi


Okay, so apparently, a large number of issues of GALAXY magazine are now available online for free.

Some younger folks may not be familiar with GALAXY, but in its day it was one the most important publications in science fiction and fantasy. The available issues include hundreds of stories by great classic SF&F authors.

For free. 😍

Just thought people would like to know.

Liblast's story has been completely overhauled - here's the draft 2. If you're into Sci-Fi, you might get a kick out of this one.

https://codeberg.org/Liblast/Liblast/wiki/Story-&-Lore-%5BSPOLIERS%5D

My goal for writing this story was to justify having two teams of identical-looking humanoid robots wielding identical-looking weapons blasting each other to bits on a variety or crazy locations.

It's cheap to make and robots help keep it family friendly 😀

I think this draft should do!

i love talking about federation in the #fediverse because it's as close as I'll ever get to being in starfleet 🖖 #socialmedia #scifi


#intro I'm an old netizen coming from IRC and the dawn of open source and the web. I work as an engineer in the #observability team at digital ocean. I'm firmly of the "visual" camp, enjoying art, design & math made pretty. My favorite #scifi novel remains the shockwave rider, my favorite movie blade runner. I enjoy #go AND #js. I really like #SQL. I'm a political scientist by training so I do antifa , eco, feminism & privacy since 1983. I love cats and my partner O. and chocolate and cheese. :)

By way of #introductions: I am 57-year-old Australian father living in #Berlin.

I have a doctorate in psychology, and have worked both inside and outside academia over the last 20 years (in Los Angeles, Boson, London, Berlin).

Nowadays, I am mostly involved in looking after my two children—Lucy 7.5, and Valentin 1.7.

I am interested in #green #progressive #politics, #science, #technology, #books (#scifi #non-fiction), #photography.

I look forward to meeting some like-minded people here.
