Lucas joins from Berlin to unpack what maintainability looks like in practice when you are dealing with real constraints… limited context, missing documentation, and systems that resist understanding.A big through-line is feedback.

Humans On The Loop86 - Onyx Ashanti on Surfing Exponential Change (Part 1)This week’s guest is the one-of-a-kind, ever-evolving Onyx Ashanti, a cyborg performance artist of world renown, who is as busy as anyone I know (in the words of Terence McKenna) “immanentizing the Eschaton” with his intensely futuristic machine interfaces as an extension of his cymatic, fractal, exponentiating, indomitably cool and strange philosophy. Onyx is one of the most inspiring and creative people in my network and even though this episode was recorded in December 2017 – and is in some ways just a little dated – it’s still 99% WAY, WAY in our future. A paradox! Just how we like it, around here…

daccaThe Atrocity ArchivesOnly the mind of British science-fiction author Charles Stross could mix Lovercraftian horror with a top secret organisation called The Laundry that prevents demons and otherworldly monstrosities from invading and destroying our world...and yet make it darkly funny.
If that appeals to you then I highly recommend The Laundry Files series, which kicks off with The Atrocity Archives.

In creating this track I laid down four manually played synth tracks for the various "monstrous" effects, and kind of sat on that for a few days. I liked it, but what was it? I didn't know.

Lyt med, når vi kaster os ud i at drøfte Ted Chiang’s cerebrale forfatterskab, hvor hver enkelt historie er en lille rubikskube, som læseren kan løse og genløse på nye måder.

Man kan overveje om, det er helt sundt at tænke for meget over, hvad der sker med de økonomiske systemer, når vi langsomt begynder at kravle os fra planet til planet. Men for Stross er faktisk blevet til et helt fortryllende stykke world-building.

That’s right, SPACE is the place, and they’ve invited Leah Petersen along to talk about the stories set there, and the role it plays.
Science Fiction’s early depictions of space cast it as a medium to be crossed, or an analog for the sea, facilitating trade, exploration, and empire-building. Frank Herbert made it a commodity, accessible only to those who gave up their humanity. Stephen Baxter...
