The mathematical and physical content... are objectively difficult to grasp and understand in a reading that is primarily dedicated to entertainment.

 We rate it as it is presented to us: a science fiction work with a lot of science and a lot of fantasy, where both components are evidently pushed to the maximum.

Greg Egan’s The Clockwork Rocket is a daring hard science fiction novel integrating complex physics and biology within its narrative. The story follows Yalda, a physicist battling societal norms on a unique alien planet. While the novel excels in scientific imagination, its dense technical explanations impact readability. It offers rich sociological themes and intellectual challenges that set it apart from conventional sci-fi stories. Dive into The Clockwork Rocket for a mind-bending journey through science and society—perfect for daring sci-fi readers.

 Marjorie Prime is a film that rarely excites, but whose contents are undoubtedly particularly profound.

 Can we really call 'life' an existence where we leave behind our humanity and our feelings?

Marjorie Prime is a unique sci-fi drama that explores deep family dynamics and emotional silence through AI holograms recreating deceased loved ones. The film focuses on the emotional and sociological impact rather than pure science fiction elements. Its slow, thoughtful pacing allows viewers to engage with complex themes of memory, humanity, and unresolved regret. The performances and screenplay turn a futuristic concept into a moving examination of shared suffering and healing. Discover Marjorie Prime's moving exploration of memory and AI—watch now and reflect on what truly makes us human.

 The album’s production is by Steve Albini… the trio basically got to come face-to-face with their idol and directly enter that ‘legend’ they have pursued since the beginning.

 The cultural legacy of such a work was and remains immense, constituting a reference point for a particular approach, both conceptual and philosophical, to psychedelia.

 Conceptually, the project aims to modernize those sounds historically and typically folkloric of the Mediterranean basin.

Phoenician Drive’s Two Coins EP innovatively updates Mediterranean folkloric and psychedelic sounds, drawing inspiration from Brian Jones' iconic projects and kraut-rock legends. The EP fuses instrumentation like flutes and saxophones to create a rich, mystical atmosphere rooted in ancient culture. Compared to projects like TAU, it explores European origins through mythic and musical influences.

 'Hitchhiker' is a collection of songs that Neil Young recorded nearly forty years ago... all the songs in a row 'taking breaks only for a little marijuana, beer, and cocaine.'

 Talking about recycling or an offhand publication makes no sense given Neil Young’s known attention to recording processes and sound quality.

Neil Young's Hitchhiker, recorded in 1976 but released in 2017, offers a raw acoustic experience showcasing intimate sessions with timeless songs. While some critics labeled the release as mere recycling, the album holds historical significance and appeals especially to devoted fans. Minimalist arrangements emphasize Neil's authentic songwriting. Not every track is unforgettable, but the collection contributes meaningfully to his vast discography. Explore Neil Young's Hitchhiker to experience an authentic 1970s acoustic session filled with timeless rock treasures.

 'The Magnificent Seven in Space.' Why not? What a wonderful idea!

 These are films we appreciate not for how credible the alien masks are, but precisely for these little big details and referential situations.

Battle Beyond the Stars is a 1980 sci-fi retelling of the classic Magnificent Seven story set in space. Produced by Roger Corman and directed by Jimmy T. Murakami, the film follows Shad's quest to save his planet with the help of six unconventional allies.

Though not unforgettable, it's appreciated for its charm and references rather than technical perfection. Dive into this cult sci-fi classic and discover the space adventure inspired by The Magnificent Seven!

Produced by Ben Greenberg and released on Sacred Bones Records, the album channels influences from late 80s and early 90s hardcore and garage rock legends. Its distorted sound and gritty vocals reflect modern-day disillusionment, making it both accessible and impactful for fans of energetic, rebellious rock. Listen to Institute’s 'Subordination' now and experience authentic punk rock energy at full volume!
