Day 6
Mark Brandis: Raumsonde Epsilon
My first deep dive into Science Fiction.
This is the first of a series of more than 30 novels aimed at a youthful audience, which were hugely popular in Germany during the 70s and 80s.

in reply to Mina • • •This type of literature in addition to popular books directly or indirectly related to science made possible that I could finally become a scientist.

Actually, I think, at least in my fields, Maths and CS, there is hardly anybody, who's not into SciFi.
And for many (for me, too), SF played a part in awakening the curiosity about the world and what it could be.

This.
Not really into math, but scifi stories taught me more about ethics than the bible, ngl.
Mina
in reply to ClipHead • • •@ClipHead
The Bible is pretty questionable from an ethical point of view, if you ask me.
The SF stories with ethical dilemmas are, also in my view, the very best in the genre.

I goofed up and posted this yesterday with only the hashtag #BooksThatInfluencedYou without tagging the crew.
I saw you mention science fiction and the bible so want to make sure y'all see the book I posted on Sunday by Isaac Asimov, History of the Bible.

Actually, there are already #FiveLawsOfRobotics. The #ZerothLaw was the 4th one and then there's the 5th by #Kesarovski:

Some time ago, I suggested the need for a 6th one:

However, I see no evidence that even Western #AI companies would be implementing any of them...🤷♂️🤦🤦♂️🤦♀️

in reply to HistoPol (#HP) • • •The nice thing about Asimov's laws is that, they teach people that ethics is a minefield.
His laws of robotics sound so sensible that they appear to be a reasonable foundation of how to deal with the moral problems arising from artificial intelligence.
The spectacular failures of such a simple approach are, what make his stories great.

I don't believe, this series has made it into a translation.

Yes, the largest #SciFi series globally, #PerryRhodan, deserves not only a sideline mention.
*Any* SciFi tech ever envisioned anywhere can be found in this series--and more.

Apart from some laudable #FanFiction movies, nothing eas ever done professionally. It is sort of a Lord-Of-The-Rings syndrome--before someone finally filmed the 1st book.
However now, with virtually all issues having been published as e-books and with over 5,200 covers and hundreds of professional technical drawings...

...(#Risszeichnung|en) being available, I think PERRY RHODAN would be the ideal subject for the first series to be realized by #AI, at least in part.
Having an online international focus group of #SciFi aficionados chose b/w different realization options (which I have seen for cars) could make sure the production...

I never got into Perry Rhodan (read a few of the mags, though).
This is massive!
If I started reading now, I would probably not finish before I die.

in reply to Mina • • •Correct
If you read quickly, min. 90 min. for each--without the huge number of paperbacks.
And then, you wouldn't have read any of the (later on cancelled) major spin-off series, #Atlan, the immortal who's lived much more than 10,000 years...
That's about what you'd need to read the now more than 3,200 printed ones. 5,200 appeared as e-books
