Star City examines the alt-history space race from the Soviet perspective, steeped in Cold War-era paranoia with secret photos, tapped phones, and disappearances.

The maps created by Ursula K. Le Guin include traditional elements like compass roses and mountains, but also feature mythic symbols and instructions for depicting fantastical creatures.

Paul Churchland is a naturalistic philosopher who has written widely on philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophy of language. His primary focus has been on the neurosciences, particularly engaging with insights from artificial neural networks since 1986.

In 1976, musician and neuroscientist Manfred Clynes proposed that each emotion is expressed through a precise, biologically programmed dynamic form he called a 'sentic shape.'

Claude Opus 4.7 is a step up from Opus 4.6, particularly for advanced software engineering tasks and complex coding areas that previously required more hand-holding.

Avery Jarrett, played by Ines Asserson, is a significant new character in For All Mankind, being the granddaughter of Gordo and Tracy Stevens, who died in the Season 2 finale.

Kick off with Ridley Scott's 1982 OG Blade Runner: The Final Cut, which stars Harrison Ford as a special agent on a mission to exterminate escaped androids. Ford is joined by Ryan Gosling in the Denis Villeneuve-directed Blade Runner 2049, which is sure to whet your appetite for Dune: Part Three - hitting cinemas this December.

I was a massive fan of 'Silicon Valley.' Anybody who says that you're just doing 'Silicon Valley' part two, thank you very much. Fantastic compliment. But there is a darkness in this show that I think is offset by comedy.

Back in December, when SFWA announced that it was updating its rules for the Nebula Awards. Works written entirely by large language models would not be eligible, while authors who used LLMs "at any point during the writing process" had to disclose that use, allowing award voters to make their own decisions about whether that usage would affect their support.

This is a shame, because his best work belongs with the greats of fantasy, horror, and sci-fi. Summer of Night is a tighter, more satisfying version of Stephen King's It. Carrion Comfort is a brick-sized epic about psychic vampires that reads as breezily as a trade paperback. The Terror, which inspired the well-regarded show, is for its first three-quarters a brilliant and non-supernatural speculative take on a real doomed Arctic expedition.

Subsequently, runaway children turned the valley into a fortress, surviving on food they could catch or grow, with occasional forays into the towns below. Riley has heard the rumours, but it is only when she sees a green-clad boy or is it a girl? hovering outside her bedroom window offering directions on how to find Nowhere that she realises this might be her chance to escape and save her little brother from their sadistic guardian.

The tweaks to Sonnet 4.6 have taken it past the pricier Opus 4.6 in two of 13 benchmark categories: agentic financial analysis (Finance Agent v1.1, 63.3 percent vs. 60.1 percent) and office tasks (GDPVal-AA Elo, 1633 vs. 1606). Opus 4.6 wins in six of the 13 categories, in tests that show rival Gemini 3 Pro and GPT-5.2 each leading in 2 of 13 categories. But benchmark tests should not be taken too seriously.
