short pieces of science (fiction) media that will change your life.

with links because you people are lazy.

1. Upsilon Dies Backwards by Exurb1a

This one can’t be described, you kinda gotta see it for yourself.

2. Pantheon (2022 animated series)

   

My favorite show that I was lucky enough to discover just a month ago; the last episode of Season 2 is easily the best episode of any show I will ever see.

3. Zima Blue (Love, Death, & Robots Episode 18)

Brilliant animation, also based on a short story.

4. The Last Question by Isaac Asimov

   

Well this is a classic.

5. Stories of Your Life by Ted Chiang

Arrival (2016) is based on this, but the story is a must-read even if you’ve seen the film.

5. The Egg by Andy Weir (everyone’s seen I know)

6. Joscha Bach x Lex Fridman (don’t care much for Lex but this guest is brilliant)

• Round 1 (Artificial Consciousness and the Nature of Reality)

• Round 2 (Nature of Reality, Dreams, and Consciousness)

• Round 3 (Life, Intelligence, Consciousness, AI & the Future of Humans)

7. Shelter (Official Music Video) by Porter Robinson

Cute and the music is gas.

8. Ex Machina (2014 film)

   

Not a well kept secret or anything but thought I’d throw it in.
