Reviewing the latest and greatest science fiction gadgets, tech, and accessories.
Full Disclosure, Please
It's time for me to get something off my chest, even if it means stigma and ridicule from many people. I have always tried to be as skeptical as possible and endeavor to research everything thoroughly if I don't have first-hand experience with a certain topic. There are certain things in our society that have been consistently viewed as laughable or the stuff of fiction, and what I want to talk about is thankfully starting to shed some of these judgments.
Michael ThielmannPublished 7 years ago in FuturismThe Best Novel You Likely Never Heard Of
Right, it's not one of my mine. And I do this every few years — blog about a novel that's not only one of the best you likely never heard of, but, for what it's worth, is one of the best I've ever read.

Matt CatesPublished 7 years ago in FuturismThe Sound of Tomorrow
Though best known for their prolific output of audio dramas based on the long-running BBC series Doctor Who, the British company Big Finish Productions has been branching out for several years now. One of their more intriguing ranges has been a series of adaptations based on the works of H.G. Wells, the man who is in many ways the father of British science fiction.

A couple weeks ago I was out running errands when everyone’s biggest anxiety happened. I unlocked my phone screen and everything froze before going black. Rest in peace, HTC M8 Harmon-Kardon edition. We barely knew ya'. My phone had shuffled off it’s mortal Otter-Box and joined the network invisible. Luckily, I was right next to a Sprint store and popped in to see what they had. Having worked in electronics and telecom for several years, I’m a gear snob. Not just any phone or tablet will do.
