…Morlock are two races descended from man in H.G. Wells' classic 1895 novel 'The Time Machine'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_Machine PS: Stephen Baxter has a new sequel novel based TTT called 'The Time Ships', I just started reading it, it's great!
on “Future Timeline” ↗The Time Ships, by Stephen Baxter The depth of his exploration of the human condition through the continuation of H.G. Wells' classic just floored me. My jaw was dropped practically from page one.
on “Ask HN: What book changed your life in 2014?” ↗On that note, I highly recommend The Time Ships, by Stephen Baxter. He picks up where The Time Machine leaves off and takes the story into some amazing directions.
on “What are your favourite sci-fi books?” ↗I'm currently working my way through Stephen Baxter's Manifold trilogy. His writing is incredibly insightful and psychedelic. I'd also suggest the Time Ships (only authorized Time Machine sequel) and anything from the Xeelee universe. Maybe start with Vacuum Diagrams? David Brin's Uplift series is brilliantly written, and personifies non-human characters…
on “What are your favourite sci-fi books?” ↗I thought derivative works were okay if they were "transformative"? That lawsuit sounded like he had copied text verbatim. I'm not in the US, so I could easily be off base. I really enjoyed The Time Ships by Stephen Baxter, which is a sequel to The Time Machine by H. G. Wells. He's a UK author, so maybe it's different. As a society I think we are better off with this kind of remixing so I'd hope that's…
on “George R.R. Martin and other authors sue OpenAI for copyright infringement” ↗…most raw sci-fi I've ever read. The books left me hopeful, suspended, disgusted and in awe of the depth of this man's observation of humanity. If you're looking for something lighter, perhaps check out Time Ships by the same author. This was the only authorized sequel to the legendary classic The Time Machine by H.G. Wells.
on “Ask HN: Which book are you reading these days?” ↗Or Time Ships ( http://www.amazon.com/Time-Ships-Stephen-Baxter/dp/006105648... ), a continuation of H.G. Wells The Time Machine.
on “Why I Want to be Transhuman” ↗
