I love the Hainish novels so much. The first three are nowhere near as good as the rest... but they're still genuinely fantastic! I have never regretted re-reading a book by Le Guin.

Ooh! I just had an hour long argument about the Frost's "The Road Not Taken" last night, so the title alone has me hooked.

One of the only reasons I still fire up my dusty old Playstation consoles. What I wouldn't give for a real PC port, even just for preservation purposes.

Honestly, the fact that this teaser was not enough to secure funding for a second season is definitive proof that the people who fund art do not care about art. I would happily go bankrupt just to fuel this madness for another season. Return on investment? Who gives a crap.

persecuting minority groups who they imagine are poisoning society is an inherent part of the ideology, they need it, even if they were handed an ethnically 'cleansed' fascist state it would collapse in a witch-hunt for secret jews and suspected homosexuals and insufficiently committed fascists

I think for me the most compelling answer for "why fund basic research?" (and the one most relevant to the people doing the work) is that humans are curious and finding stuff out makes us happy and fulfilled. Science is a thing humans like. Life would be more dull and sad if we didn't do it.
