Science Fiction

Science Fiction

Science fiction is one of my favorite ways to stretch imagination and perspective. I read it not only for escape but for ideas. Good sci-fi collides science, philosophy, and human nature in one move, which is exactly the mix I am drawn to.

Why it fits me

I prefer long-form ideas over shallow content. Sci-fi is a format built for that. It gives me room to sit inside a concept, watch it play out, and pull the useful pieces back into how I think and build.

What I look for

  • Books and stories that expand imagination
  • Ideas that combine Science and Philosophy
  • Worlds that create real scale
  • Thought experiments about where humanity is going
  • Writing that is sharp and takes itself seriously
  • Scenes or lines with real emotional weight, not just spectacle
  • Stories about Mars, oppression, family, song, dignity, and cultural resistance

How it connects to my thinking

Sci-fi plays to the same instinct as Space, Astronomy, and Philosophy. It is a place where Existential Reflection meets technology, identity, and consequence. Many of the ideas I encounter through sci-fi sit near the ones I pick up from Nietzsche and long video essays.

How it shows up in my life

Through books, through Video Essays, and through series like For All Mankind. Channels like Kurzgesagt, Exurb1a, and Sisyphus 55 live in an adjacent space and feed the same hunger.

Sci-fi and my building instinct

Sci-fi trains me to take the long view. Builders who think in decades make different choices from builders who think in weeks. Reading sci-fi makes the long view feel native instead of forced. It reinforces my bias toward Ambition with real weight while also widening the emotional and philosophical frame around it.
