#PennedPossibilities 637 — Does your MC have a past that haunts them?

May Ri watched from Mars orbit as Herschel Crater got nuked, having failed to knock out all the missiles with her railgun. Her eldest daughter worked in the capital domed city situated in that crater. Had. She has nightmares of the flash and a mushroom cloud rising. Sort of like in the attached vid.

"The County Sheriff was there, a large metal sphere with arms like a spider, one sporting a small-caliber pistol. On its front, a display of a white man's mustachioed face. Remote policing. [...] The officer said 'good luck' to Ace and turned away, the silent but ever-watchful sheriff hovering like a pet bird over his shoulder."

Marta entsinnt sich, was nochmal ein Déjà-vu ist. Kuba liest Marijpols "Eremit" über einen innerlich und äußerlich gespaltenen Reisebüro-Mitarbeiter. Und wir besprechen übermenschlich schnelles Cocktailmixen und weitere Favoriten im Speedrunning-Event "Awesome Games Done Quick".

Aufruf: Schickt uns eure Vorschläge für die nächste Folge "Sci-Fi von A bis Z": "J wie ... ?"

Flyer für FW#59: im Gitter arrangierte, freigestellte Bilder einer schwarzen Katze in unterschiedlichen Posen: zusammengerollt, gestreckt, sitzend, schreiend, über Laptop laufend, gestreichelt werdend. Insgesamt über 60, zwischen Ordnung und Chaos, irgendwie nach Größe sortiert, nach oben verklumpend. Darunter eins der Bilder, Katze schreit heraus: die Themen und Termin der Sendung, die sich strahlenförmig ergießen.

These three covers of I, Robot by Isaac Asimov show different visual styles and eras of science fiction design. Left Cover: A humanoid robot stands against a red background. Its body is sleek and muscular with rounded joints. White glowing eyes stand out on a dark face. The title “I, ROBOT” appears in bold, dark red letters to the right. “By Isaac Asimov” is at the bottom in black. The background is minimal, with subtle shadows to add depth. Middle Cover: A bulky, dome-shaped robot dominates a beige, dusty landscape. It has multiple arms, antennae, and a cockpit-like window. Tiny human figures in suits surround it, suggesting interaction or inspection. The title appears in two-tone block lettering: “Isaac Asimov” in black and “I, ROBOT” in blue. A tagline above reads, Fascinating Tales from Beyond Tomorrow by the Master of Science Fiction. The design leans toward industrial and functional, evoking mid-century sci-fi themes. Right Cover: A silver humanoid robot with jointed limbs and red eyes stands in front of a city skyline. The robot is posed with arms slightly outstretched. The background is dark with orange-lit buildings, giving a retro-futuristic vibe. The title “I, Robot” appears in a clean white serif font at the top, with “Isaac Asimov” in bold orange at the bottom. A small subtitle reads, “Stories of Science Fiction.” Each cover emphasizes different aspects of Asimov’s vision—mystery, technology, and futurism.

This is a fun list of bad books to begin with if you're getting into science fiction literature.

Some great books here, actually, but yes, hard ones. I've started 5 of these, and finished, um... 3. ( I do have plans to finish reading the other two, but I have a large to-be-read pile).
