Caveman Science Fiction

• JoeDaDude 4y ago
  Cute. I am reminded of the short story "Tower of Babylon" by Ted Chiang in which he writes science fiction/speculative fiction about ascending a fictitious Tower of Babel as it would have been imagined centuries ago. https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?40853 https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?40853

    Interesting. The biblical story itself seems like an example of early science fiction, an early anxiety about the power of technology.

  For what it's worth the comic is Dresden Codak by Arryn Diaz. It started out as random one off's and somehow found a story along the way. Very well drawn with fun science fiction. Highly recommended. http://dresdencodak.com/ http://dresdencodak.com/

    That's definitely the original. I looked for that, but links to that site don't work with the google referrer header[1]. [1]: https://www.google.com/search?q=dresdencodak https://www.google.com/search?q=dresdencodak
