Novel about a talented young computer programmer (maybe a child-protege..?) who makes a splash in the programming world and ends up moving to Dallas. I don’t really remember much of the plot, but I think he ends up getting in some trouble there because of Dallas’ “incomparable nightlife”. The “i...

Anyone know the name of this novel ? I read it a very long time back. Around 1996. Story is set in a future where humanity is in a decline. Humanity is dying out slowly. There are fewer and fewer people being born. The sea levels have risen significantly and the climate has changed significantly....

I think I read this sometime around 2008, but I'm not positive. I'm also not positive if the below components were from two separate books by the same author, or chapters/parallel stories in the same book Here are some relatively unique details that I remember: Collection 1: Lizard people Liz...

I watched this cartoon show around 2004-2007 in Hong Kong(it was probably a rerun of a show from the U.S. or U.K.) about teenagers in high school. One of them got bit or cut or something and was pulsating or something in his bedroom. The show kept dramatically showing his DNA changing and him swe...

I watched this movie when I was a kid. The movie is around 25-30 years old, and I'm not sure if it's in English (it could be from a European country). There's a village-like setup where every year or so a race to another place (another village probably) is set up. It's full of obstacles not easy ...

Hi I watched a robot cartoon back in 1980s as a child. all I can remember is a boy I think putting a star on his head and I think they went up in a lift or something think the robot use to take off also in a cave maybe or a building ?

In DS9 Season 3, elections are held for the Premiership/First-Ministership of Bajor, and Winn Adami is a candidate - wishing to secure political as well as spiritual/cultural leadership of the planet. She eventually withdraws from the race in favor of Shakaar, who gets elected. And yet - in seve...

The American Gods Wikia site claims that Mr World is a personification of globalisation. That definitely seems to be true in the TV series (see the creepiest rant ever made about salsa), but in the books he seems a much more mysterious figure, IIRC never even seen "on stage" until near the very e...

It is a perfunctory cats and mouse "fugitive" scenario in a small town BUT the "mouse" is living in "reverse time" and it is handled extremely competently. I'm sure it was an early early early P.K.D. (but not "counter-clock World) but maybe not. Certainly from the fifties...

I read a short story long ago about a scientist experimenting with plants. The scientist found that plants would react to murder or torture being carried out on people, and used that effect to help catch at least one murderer. The short story is obviously intended to be humorous. The scientist...

It might have only been a pilot or a made for TV movie, but I remember a male time traveller who was for some reason in 90s US from a semi-distant future. He had in his possession a super-computer disguised as a regular credit card, which could hack things and I think spoke to him in a female voi...

It is then explained that the "ball" is about a mile in diameter. I don't remember anything about the plot - just this opening gag line. It was in an anthology I read as a kid. Possibly by a well-known author. Of course the terms trans-human and post-human aren't used, but the concept is there.

Probably printed in the 1980s. As I recall it was split between reality and a fantasy world that resembled 1600s Spain. The cover had a man riding a winged horse. There is a book "Orlando Furioso" by Lodovico Ariosto written in 15th-16th century. The title rings a bell that makes me wonder if ...

Probably from the 50's or 60's. I read it as a teenager and actually liked it quite a bit.

Years ago, in the 90's, I read a Sci-Fi story in an airline mag. It was about an earth ship orbiting Jupiter where they sent earth men down to the surface transforming them into these enormous Jupiter beings but were distressed that none of their guys were coming back.I remember a line from the l...
