I read a short story in the mid 1970's in which people lived underground with the constant hum of machinery. I seem to remember the constant noise as a significant plot point as when a particular character made his way out he found the quiet to be unnerving. Perhaps also humans did not run the ma...

Meanwhile they are hiring a lawyer that no b...

I remember him waking up on a plane then telling some people that the scroll they have is fake.

This book is older, 80s maybe. I can’t remember character names but I remember the plot mostly. The main girl notices a strange boy in class. He’s very pale and has dark hair. She follows him home one snowy day and sees him go into a cave. She falls going in and he’s angry she followed him but sa...

About 5-7 years ago, I stumbled upon a forum post with a few paragraphs written about a spaceship that started with the designs of a "normal" sized military type starship, and just scaled up the dimensions. It used that ship as an example of poor design. Some specific details I remember: the win...

According to this article, Stranger Things has been edited (George Lucased) after it was released to fix continuity. Matt went on: “We have George Lucas’d things also that people don’t know about” Like what? Is there a full list of those changes?

I am looking for a specific sci-fi videogame-related cutscene or trailer. I apologize if this StackExchange is not the place for this question and will delete it if necessary. As I recall it, the video features "realistic" graphics for its time (probably between ~2000 and ~2015), mostly greyish, ...

So the main character went inside the mound, how did he left the mound untouched by the old beings living there? Did the tulu-metal protect him from the beings that could grab him into the mound or the beings simply gone weaker and weaker as time goes by and dies out?

I remember a series when I was younger , where the humans were stranded on a planet where they had been pursued by aliens and they had bonded with mind alien:power and the norm was 1-2max and the protagonist ended up bonding with a lot / just can’t seem to find enough detail to search for it via ...

I'm looking for a short story that I read back in the 80s about a vortex or wormhole that has things coming through with one being described as something that looked like broccoli and a cat. I believe the wormhole turned out to be a kind of garbage chute, Thanks!

At the very beginning man is abducted by aliens and kept in a cage of several layers of paper (aliens thought it to be a perfect cage/shield). IIRC aliens were communicating using brainwaves (they were telepaths?). Man escapes the cage and it turned out that his fear destroys aliens ("fear" brai...

I started reading Sanderson with The Way of Kings and worked my way up to Rhythm of War. The first three books in The Stormlight Archive, with few exceptions, pretty much explain with growing clarity how the universe works. The last book is where I felt like there was more questions that answers ...

I unfortunately don't have much info on these books other than my sister and I read them in our middle school library. I can remember that the main character (a young girl) either had a sleepover/camping trip with a friend and discusses Arabian Nights. They also compare pomegranates to a chest an...

It is a movie about a couple that cannot have kids, so they create a robotic child. But there were some kind of natural disaster and the human race extent, and when other people came they found the robotic child, and he was looking for his mother. The responsible person told him that he can bring...

I'm trying to find a specific story I read a few years ago. I always thought it was by Edgar Allen Poe, but after hunting out my complete edition turns out I was wrong. The story starts with a man in a cell, he sees the door is left open and sneaks out. After he managed to escape, he opens the do...

I started reading a story that I believe was originally posted on reddit within the last 3 years or so, about an asteroid destroying the Earth. I think the asteroid is Apophis 99942, but I may be conflating that with something else. The main character was counting down the days, watching neighbor...

In Working Stiff, first book of the Revivalist series, which deals with a nanite treatment that can revive the dead and the struggle over how the treatment will be used, two things are established: Side character Manny owes a life debt to corporate agent Patrick McCallister due to Patrick having...

“So what’s the plan boss? Kase asked.” Jennix turned to her squad and looked at them in turn”I wouldn’t hold it against you if you didn’t want to...” Page 50 If you didn’t want to.. what? I didn’t understand the paragraph above could you explain it more?
