John Varley (1947-2025)
- dekhn 11mo agoOne of my favorite sci-fi authors. Was never really appreciated for how ahead of his time he was. My personal favorite: humans are kicked off earth by superpowerful aliens. They colonize the rest of the solar system. Genentic modification allows people to live in space as giant leaf-like organisms. Two religious cults are fighting to paint Saturn's rings completely red.
- A_D_E_P_T 11mo agoDamn. RIP. He was a very imaginative author, and expert in both short and long fiction. "Press Enter ▮" is, in particular, one of the all time greats.
