Think about that while I work on finding out who you are. Javier the Third was standing behind the bar, talking with half of the vice and exploitation team. Well over a million tons of ice had been gently accelerated for the past month. Dan Simmons does a better job of this kind of storytelling in his Hyperion Cantos series. Music moved through the air with a physical presence, each beat a little concussion. And she had passed wall panel after wall panel. Unless you all want to be locked up as accessories to murder, I suggest you disperse now. An outcropping of the thing shifted toward her. And be careful. Everyone here is either wildly under-qualified or seriously screwed things up at their last gig. If we find anything even remotely booby trap—like, we will come back to the mech, Naomi will fly us back to the Knight, and we will run away. And it was kind of fun, now you mention it. The cart swerved and bobbed, its internal computer adjusting for some virtual hiccup in the traffic flow half a kilometer ahead. Miller could sense it.

Holden waited while Amos looked it over, spending at least ten minutes just floating around the reactor. Holden stood in front of the camera, leaning a little forward. He flexed his pectorals.

  • 1: for Me, It Was Personal Names with Too Many of the Letter "Q"
    1: For me, it was personal names with too many of the letter "q", "z", or "x". With apostrophes. Big indicator of "call a rabbit a smeerp"; and generally, a given name turns up on page 1... 2: Large scale conspiracies over large time scales that remain secret and don't fall apart. (This is not *explicitly* limited to SF, but appears more often in branded-cyberpunk than one would hope for a subgenre borne out of Bruce Sterling being politically realistic in a zine.) Pretty much *any* form of large-scale space travel. Low earth orbit, not so much; but, human beings in tin cans going to other planets within the solar system is an expensive multi-year endevour that is unlikely to be done on a more regular basis than people went back and forth between Europe and the americas prior to steam ships. Forget about interstellar travel. Any variation on the old chestnut of "robots/ais can't be emotional/creative". On the one hand, this is realistic because human beings have a tendency for othering other races with beliefs and assumptions that don't hold up to any kind of scrutiny (see, for instance, the relatively common belief in pre-1850 US that black people literally couldn't feel pain). On the other hand, we're nowhere near AGI right now and it's already obvious to everyone with even limited experience that AI can be creative (nothing is more creative than a PRNG) and emotional (since emotions are the least complex and most mechanical part of human experience and thus are easy to simulate).

  • Human Exploration and Settlement of the Solar System
    CORE 103G SPRING 2020 THE PROCESS OF CHANGE IN SCIENCE: HUMAN EXPLORATION AND SETTLEMENT OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM *** Please make sure to see me ASAP if you were not present on the first day of class *** Prof. Vahé Peroomian Email address: [email protected] Phone: (213) 740-2386 Office hours: Mondays 12:00pm – 1:30pm, Tuesdays 2:00pm – 4:00pm, Wednesdays 12:00pm – 1:30pm, and by appointment Two centuries ago, it was “common wisdom” that aLL of the pLanets of the Solar System were inhabited and were each home to flourishing civilizations. Percival Lowell’s imagined observations of Martian canaLs in the waning years of the 19th Century further fueled this belief. Since 1965, when the Mariner 4 spacecraft found Mars to be a LifeLess, barren worLd, our imagination has taken a new turn – that of terraforming Mars and making it habitable for humans. More recentLy, both science and science fiction have considered the possibility of human settlement throughout the Solar System, not just on Mars but also in the seemingly inhospitable outer Solar System. In this course, we will consider the eventual human exploration and settLement of the Solar System not just from a scientific and technological standpoint, but also by examining the interdependencies of complex systems and the human and societal aspects of this endeavor. We wiLL first famiLiarize ourseLves with the Solar System, exploring not only the planets, but also the Asteroid BeLt and many of the Larger moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Each of these destinations wiLL offer unique chalLenges to human habitabiLity, some of which may not be immediately apparent.

A. Corey (pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck). It is about a conflict in the solar system that involves the earth, Mars, and the Asteroid Belt (colonies of people who are on asteroids, referred to as Belters). This is the second book in The Expanse series and is preceded by Leviathan Wakes. The third book, Abaddon's Gate, was released on 4 June 2013. [2] Prelude Eighteen months after the events of Leviathan Wakes, the solar system is in an unweeing balance while unwittingly watching what unfolds on the planet Venus. Earth and Mars are still ready for the battle, and someone did not recognize the warning that the Eros incident held for humankind. Main character arch James Holden is the captain of the recycled Martian warship Rocinante. He and his crew have worked for the Outer Planets Alliance for 18 months since it was known as the Eros incident, and the work just doesn't feel right. While assisting a botanist in the search for his daughter, Holden comes over signs that people are still trying to tame the protomolecule, and the threat comes very close to home. Breaking his OPA tapes, he becomes an ever more important piece in the four-way chess game for what the solar system will run.

    Ethical Issues in The Expanse Series by James S. A. Corey Filip Nováček Bachelor’s Thesis 2019 ***Scanned Thesis Author’s Statement*** ABSTRAKT Tato bakalářská práce se zabývá vyhledáváním a zkoumáním určitých etických otázek, které se vyskytují v knižní sci-fi sérii Expanze od Jamese S. A. Coreyho. Je strukturována do tří hlavních kapitol, přičemž každá z nich se věnuje jedné z oblastí etiky. V těchto kapitolách je nejdříve vysvětlena teorie vztahující se ke specifické oblasti etiky, a následně jsou v podkapitolách prezentovány a analyzovány jednotlivé problémy z knižní série. Cílem práce je dokázat existenci těchto etických otázek v knihách, a zjistit, zda jsou situace, které tyto otázky vyvolávají, etické či nikoliv. Klíčová slova: Expanze, James S. A. Corey, etika, vojenská etika, bioetika ABSTRACT This bachelor’s thesis deals with finding and researching certain ethical issues that are present in the science fiction book series The Expanse by James S. A. Corey. It is structured into three major chapters, each dedicated to one area of ethics. In these chapters, the theory pertaining to the specific area of ethics is explained, and then, individual issues from the book series are presented and analyzed in subchapters. The aim of the thesis is to prove the existence of these ethical issues among the books, and to figure out if the situations raising said issues are ethical or not. Keywords: The Expanse, James S. A. Corey, ethics, military ethics, bioethics ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would hereby like to thank my thesis supervisor, Mgr. Roman Trušník, Ph.D., without whose help and assistance it would be difficult to write this thesis, as all of his advice has been incredibly helpful throughout the process.
