The post Quantum computing and time-travel: Scifi books review first appeared on Scifi Zone.
]]>Science fiction has always been a genre that pushes the boundaries of our imagination, exploring concepts that are often far beyond our current technological capabilities. One such concept that has been a staple of sci-fi literature is time travel. However, with the advent of quantum computing, the idea of time travel is no longer confined to the realm of fiction. In this article, we delve into some of the most intriguing sci-fi books that explore the intersection of quantum computing and time travel.
Isaac Asimov, one of the most prolific sci-fi authors, explores the concept of time travel in his novel “The End of Eternity”. The book presents a future where a group of time-traveling ‘Eternals’ manipulate time to prevent catastrophic events. Asimov’s exploration of the paradoxes and ethical dilemmas of time travel is thought-provoking, and his depiction of advanced technology, including a form of quantum computing, is remarkably prescient.
In “Timeline”, Michael Crichton combines quantum computing with multiverse theory to create a thrilling time-travel adventure. The book’s protagonists use quantum technology to travel to an alternate universe’s 14th century. Crichton’s detailed explanation of quantum mechanics and its potential applications in time travel is both educational and entertaining.
“The Quantum Thief” by Hannu Rajaniemi is a hard sci-fi novel that delves deep into quantum computing and its implications. The protagonist, a post-human thief, navigates a future solar system where quantum technology has transformed society. The book’s exploration of quantum computing’s potential impact on identity, memory, and time is both fascinating and complex.
In “The Long Earth”, Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter present a multiverse where ‘stepping’ into parallel Earths is possible using a device powered by quantum computing. The novel explores the societal and personal implications of this form of time travel, offering a unique perspective on the concept.
Quantum computing, with its potential to process vast amounts of data and perform complex calculations at unprecedented speeds, offers a theoretical framework for time travel. As these books demonstrate, the integration of quantum computing and time travel in sci-fi literature not only provides thrilling narratives but also stimulates thought about the potential and ethical implications of such technology.
Science fiction serves as a mirror to our future, reflecting our hopes, fears, and curiosities about technology and its impact on society. The exploration of quantum computing and time travel in these books offers a glimpse into a future where such concepts could become reality. As we continue to make strides in quantum computing, who knows? The line between science fiction and science fact may become increasingly blurred.
Whether you’re a sci-fi enthusiast, a quantum computing aficionado, or just someone interested in thought-provoking literature, these books offer a compelling exploration of time travel and quantum technology. So why not pick one up and take a leap into the future?

]]>The post How the dune saga is predicted to continue first appeared on Scifi Zone.
]]>Frank Herbert’s Dune saga, a cornerstone of science fiction literature, has captivated audiences for decades with its intricate world-building, complex characters, and profound exploration of themes like power, religion, and ecology. With the recent release of Denis Villeneuve’s film adaptation, interest in the Dune universe has been rekindled, leading many to wonder: how is the Dune saga predicted to continue?
Denis Villeneuve’s Dune (2021) only covers the first half of Herbert’s initial novel, leaving ample material for future films. The director has expressed his intention to create a trilogy, with the second film already confirmed by Legendary Pictures. Villeneuve has stated, “My dream is to do the second part of the book and then go straight to Dune Messiah, the second book in the series.”1
Frank Herbert wrote six books in the Dune series, but his son Brian Herbert and co-author Kevin J. Anderson expanded the universe with numerous prequels, sequels, and companion books. These works delve into the history of the Dune universe, the rise and fall of House Atreides, and the far-reaching consequences of Paul Atreides’ reign. While these books have been met with mixed reviews, they provide a wealth of material that could be adapted into films, TV series, or other media.
Legendary Television is already developing a spin-off series for HBO Max titled Dune: The Sisterhood, which will explore the mysterious Bene Gesserit. This indicates a willingness to delve into the wider Dune universe and could pave the way for more spin-offs focusing on other aspects of the Dune lore, such as the Mentats, the Spacing Guild, or the Fremen.
The Dune universe has previously been adapted into video games, most notably the strategy game Dune II, which is considered a progenitor of the real-time strategy genre. With the renewed interest in Dune, it’s possible we could see new video games, graphic novels, or even virtual reality experiences set in the Dune universe.
The future of the Dune saga is ripe with possibilities. Whether it’s through film sequels, television spin-offs, or other media, there’s a wealth of material to explore. As Villeneuve said, “Dune is a world. There’s so many stories to tell.”2 It’s an exciting time to be a Dune fan, and we can’t wait to see where the journey takes us next.

]]>The post Is Iain M. Banks’ “Culture” series Orbital scientifically feasible? first appeared on Scifi Zone.
]]>Science fiction has always been a genre that pushes the boundaries of our imagination, presenting us with concepts and technologies that seem far beyond our current capabilities. One such concept is the Orbital, a megastructure featured in Iain M. Banks’ “Culture” series. But is such a structure scientifically feasible? Let’s delve into the science behind the Orbital and see how close we are to making this science fiction concept a reality.
In the “Culture” series, an Orbital is a ring-shaped artificial world that rotates to create gravity. These structures are approximately 3 million kilometers in diameter, 10 million kilometers in circumference, and about 1000 kilometers wide. They are designed to house billions of inhabitants and mimic the conditions of a habitable planet, complete with weather systems and varied landscapes.
The concept of an Orbital is not entirely fictional. It is a type of megastructure known as a ringworld, a concept that has been explored by many science fiction authors and scientists alike. The idea is based on the principles of centripetal force and artificial gravity.
As the Orbital spins, the inhabitants on the inner surface would experience a force pushing them outwards, simulating the effect of gravity. This is the same principle that keeps water in a bucket when you swing it around. The speed of rotation would need to be carefully calibrated to provide the right amount of “gravity” for the inhabitants.
While the science behind an Orbital is sound, there are significant challenges that make building one currently impossible with our technology. These include:
While the concept of an Orbital is fascinating and theoretically possible, it remains firmly in the realm of science fiction for now. The challenges in building such a structure are immense and beyond our current technological capabilities. However, as our understanding and technology continue to advance, who knows what the future may hold? As Iain M. Banks himself said, “The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.”1
So, while we may not be building Orbitals anytime soon, the “Culture” series continues to inspire us to dream big and push the boundaries of what is possible.

Personal Remark:
I was deeply engrossed by “The Deluge” for its haunting yet vivid portrayal of a future that feels too close for comfort. Markley’s ability to blend intense character studies with a broad, sweeping narrative of environmental and political urgency was both compelling and unsettling. The novel’s exploration of themes such as accountability, survival, and hope in the face of overwhelming odds resonated strongly with me.

]]>The post Review: “Generations” by Noam Josephides first appeared on Scifi Zone.
]]>Like the best Science Fiction classics, Generations reminds us that the future is a canvas of our making, and with it – our definition of being Human.
The novel is set on the generation-ship “Thetis”, which has been making its way to find a new home for humanity for over 8 generations. The plot revolves around Sandrine Liet, an introvert, sassy and quirky female archivist, whose elaborate journey begins with a simple task of interviewing the Thetis elected leader, Sebastian Anderson. Anderson has been undergoing an extortion attempt by one of the ship’s scientists, related to a seemingly marginal scientific project. Sandrine is tasked with investigating the case, and – as expected from the book’s mystery/detective genre – opens a can of worms in which every step she takes and every stone she turns, new clues to a grand conspiracy threaten to overshadow humanity’s entire future.
Or is it?
“Generations” succeeds to extend beyond its genre in a brilliant way by confronting its protagonist with one of the smartest, most sophisticated and charismatic political rivals we’ve read lately. Nothing is what it seems. Every clue has a perfectly benign explanation. And the antagonist puppet-master is protected by seemingly endless layers of front-persons and plausible deniabilities. In quite the timely fashion, Sandrine’s investigation quickly turns from the pursuit of objective truth to a battle over narrative and public perception. At times, we too considered that the whole so-called conspiracy is nothing but the lonely archivist’s paranoia, and that she is on the fast-track to self destruction if she insists on rattling the Thetis’ political hornet’s nest.
Noam Josephides’ talent carries the scents of Polanski’s “Chinatown” all the way to outer-space.
The novel’s true brilliance shines in the evident thinking that went into the worldbuilding of a society where Earth is but a distant memory. There’s is a lot to digest throughout the 450-odd page novel – from the evolution of language and idioms in a world where some basic realities had no longer been present for 180 years (think: how many of our daily phrases and metaphors refer to animals or natural phenomena – both devoid for almost two centuries on the Thetis?), to the adaptation of social values, economic incentives and family structures in a world trying to ensure survival in a flying can across the galaxy.
Like many cultural works dealing with political-conspiracy, Josephides is clearly interested in a much wider array of questions beyond the “whodunnit” plot: the examination of moral values, societal structures and personal ambition as foundational aspects of our species nature, and the if and how we can transcend them if we want to survive long-term.
Final thoughts
“Generations” is a promising debut novel that leaves a lot to wish for in the next works of Noam Josephides – it is thought-provoking, innovative and brimming with emotional depth!

]]>The post Book Review: The Glass Woman by Alice McIlroy first appeared on Scifi Zone.
]]>Iris Henderson, our protagonist, finds herself in a peculiar pickle – waking up with no memories, a husband she doesn’t recognize, and a life she’s told she chose but can’t remember. This premise alone had me hooked, reminiscent of those sci-fi classics that tease at the fragility of human identity and the haunting possibilities of technology gone awry.
Now, let’s talk craft. McIlroy’s storytelling prowess is undeniable. The narrative, rife with suspense, digs deep into the anxieties of our era – the intertwining of our lives with AI, and the quest for autonomy in a world where our very memories can be called into question【10†source】. The exploration of these themes against a backdrop of a seemingly perfect life unraveling is, simply put, exquisite.
However, not all that glitters is silicon, my friends. Some reviews, like the one from Books, Bones & Buffy, hint at a narrative that’s sometimes more about “vibe” than a coherent plot, with answers to mysteries feeling a tad too vague or implied【9†source】. This can be a tad frustrating for those of us who love our mysteries with a side of crystal-clear resolutions. Yet, the emotional depth and ethical dilemmas Iris faces, especially towards the story’s climax, are undeniably compelling, offering a thought-provoking look at freedom and the choices that define us.
Now, let’s get a bit critical. The initial buzz around the story – a woman battling the fog of lost memories, an unfamiliar husband, and a groundbreaking AI therapy she’s apparently pioneered – is an alluring mix of intrigue and techno-anxiety. The premise promises a dive into the eerie unknown, treading the fine line between cutting-edge science and the timeless quest for identity and truth. But, as some readers pointed out, the journey through Iris’s unraveling world can sometimes feel like navigating a maze without a map, with twists and turns that may leave you scratching your head in bemusement rather than awe【8†source】.
In The Glass Woman, Alice McIlroy weaves a compelling narrative that skates on the icy edge of our modern fears about AI and identity. Despite some narrative hiccups and a plot that can feel as elusive as Iris’s lost memories, it’s a bold and beautiful dive into the chilling possibilities of our not-so-distant future. McIlroy’s debut is a testament to the enduring power of the psychological thriller, updated for an era when our innermost selves can be digitized, analyzed, and, perhaps, manipulated. A fascinating read for anyone intrigued by the intersection of technology and the human psyche. Dive in, if you dare, and discover whether Iris’s journey mirrors our impending future.

]]>The post Book Review: Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind by Molly McGhee first appeared on Scifi Zone.
]]>Abernathy’s journey into the world of dream auditing for the Archival Office—a government contractor moonlighting as a productivity enhancement service—reads like a manifesto of the millennial experience, marred by student loans and the exhaustive cost of living. Abernathy’s job, entering peoples’ dreams to scrub away trauma and stress triggers, is at once a fantastical exploration of our deepest fears and a piercing critique of the lengths to which society goes to maintain a facade of productivity and happiness (PublishersWeekly.com).
What makes Abernathy’s story resonate is not just his fight against the capitalist machine but the tender, almost pitiful, love he harbors for his neighbor Rhoda and her daughter Timmy. This love story, fraught with impossibility and unrequited feelings, adds a layer of poignant humanity to the narrative. As Abernathy navigates the complexities of his job, auditing nightmares and, eventually, the dreams of Rhoda herself, we’re given a front-row seat to the emotional and ethical turmoil such a responsibility evokes (Masters Review).
McGhee’s narrative is a kaleidoscope of magic, mystery, and eerie mysticism, where the lines between the real and the unreal blur in the most unexpected ways. The novel starts slow, a deliberate choice that allows readers to immerse themselves fully in the world McGhee has crafted. Yet, as the story unfolds, the brilliance of McGhee’s writing shines through, revealing a world where debt is not just a financial burden but a spectral force haunting the American psyche (Masters Review).
The novel’s handling of dream auditing is a masterstroke, presenting a reality so bizarre yet so utterly believable that one can’t help but ponder its implications. Abernathy’s descent into existential dread, mirrored by the Archival Office’s sinister underpinnings, creates a narrative as compelling as it is cautionary. Ling Ma’s Severance fans will find familiar ground here, in the biting depictions of financial instability and the absurd lengths to which individuals go to find some semblance of stability (PublishersWeekly.com).
Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind is more than a debut novel; it’s a stark reflection of our times, a mirror held up to the absurdity of the modern workplace and the haunting realities of financial instability. Molly McGhee has not only penned a narrative rich with fantastical elements but has also laid bare the emotional and psychological toll of living under the shadow of debt. It’s a book that demands attention, not just for its imaginative prowess but for the conversations it will inevitably spark about love, life, and the pursuit of happiness in a world that often seems devoid of it.

]]>The post Book Review: The War of the Givens by Daniel Price first appeared on Scifi Zone.
]]>The world-building within the pages of “The War of the Givens” is nothing short of spectacular. Imagine a reality where restaurants glide through the air and the fabric of time is as malleable as clay, manipulated by devices as mundane as household appliances. This backdrop serves as the stage for a tale that is as much about the struggle for survival as it is about the search for identity and belonging in an alien world.
Kirkus Reviews praises the book for its intricate plot and well-drawn characters, despite noting some minor flaws in plot explanation. The narrative ambitiously tackles themes of xenophobia and quasi-colonialism, culminating in a finale that is both hard-earned and deeply satisfying.
My personal journey with the book echoed these sentiments. I was captivated by the characters’ quest to thwart the fate that befell their world, a quest that is as fraught with danger as it is with the potential for redemption. The ethical quandaries posed by the antagonists’ actions add layers of complexity to an already compelling storyline.
In conclusion, “The War of the Givens” stands as a testament to Daniel Price’s mastery of the sci-fi genre, blending elements of X-Men and Blake Crouch with a unique flair. It is a fitting conclusion to a trilogy that has captivated readers with its imaginative scope and depth of human emotion. This book is not just a read; it’s an experience, a final act that brilliantly closes the curtain on a world both vast and intimately familiar.
