    Dune was pretty cool! It was one of my first sci fi novels and i felt i didn't understand it so well back then i really should get into reading the rest of the series but i hear it has diminishing returns?

    I Really like "stories of your life" by Ted Chiang and i got very disappointed with villenueve's adaptation.

    I used to dig a lot of old cyberpunk when i was a kid. and one of my favorites was the short tale "The Gernsback Continuum" by William Gibson! Sort of relevant today; it will need to get updated for future capitalism to be portrayed as a future that never realized.

    Blindsight by Peter watts is one of my favorite contemporary sci fi novels, and currently he seems to be my favorite sci fi doomer!

    Recently i got into Octavia E. butler; Her "Xenogenesis" trilogy is awesome, and i look forward to keep reading down her bibliography.

    Also this 2020 i got into horror podcasts, and i loved the "Magnum Archives." I tend to think i am difficult to scare and i wasn't expecting much out of drama podcasts, But this one really got under my skin. I think i picked a bunch of phobias along the way.

      I am incredibly biased because I am obsessed with this series, but I've read the first three books about 5 times now, and I felt like I found out something new about them each time.
