Q: Looking for sci-fi book about brain chip

RebeccaYears ago I listened to an audio book about this new technology that came out where you could have a chip implanted in your head that would tell you anything your phone could and more. If you were to look at a person it would tell you about their character. There were other things like a test sit...

Q: Book where teenage boy is able to "walk" to alternate realities

1234567Looking for a book I read in 2017. It was at a 8th-10th grade reading level, part of at least a two-book series (maybe more). Likely around 200-300 pages. The front cover looked like a person jumping between large balls, similar in appearance to disco balls. I don't remember the names of the char...

Q: Book about a prince who becomes a captive then a mage - Asianesque

Wendi NelsonWould have been late 80s early 90s. I got the boxed series as a gift for Christmas one year. I remember it seeming very Asian in the theme of the characters. I think it was a prince who got captured and ultimately trained to be a mage/wizard. What I really remember is, after he's captured, he c...

Oh, c'mon people. The fact that "Cyclist" was capitalized was story-correct; it's not a "correction" to change it to "cyclist." Pay attention!!

Q: Fantasy YA novel from at least 10-15 years ago about kids who can enter a dream world when they fall asleep

worldwide wrSo I read this book 10-15 years ago, but I'm not sure when it was published. It's a YA novel with a young male protagonist, I think, who finds out he can enter a different world when he goes to sleep. When he wakes up, he is back in the real world. I remember that there was a risk in entering thi...

Q: Book about a soldier in an interstellar empire selected for special training as a child

Jonathan FiteI'm looking for help identifying a book that has stuck with me for about 28 years now, despite having read it only once. Timeframe: I read this book in 1995/1996 or so, and I think I picked it up from a used bookstore or fair as it was a used copy. Funny story about this specific copy later. Spe...

oh hey, I no longer have the longest ID question on Sci Fi. scifi.stackexchange.com/q/194676/4918 and scifi.stackexchange.com/q/265306/4918 are longer (by source size). Note that the former question is older than mine, but it started out a reasonable size and got edited later to make it long.

Hey there, I had a quick meta question: are questions to identify a (seemingly) sci-fi advertisement on-topic? Basically a video I saw 25 years ago, which I am sure is a TV commercial, depicting a mythical creature, but I cannot remember what it was advertising. I only remember how it played out
@Clockwork I believe so
@Mithical Thanks! I'll consider whether or not it's worth asking

ign.com/articles/max-payne-actor-james-mccaffrey-dies-aged-65 - The Voice (and face) of Max Payne, as well as actor of other video game characters, has died.
@Clockwork We've had a few ads that have come up. The AXE body spray one involving angels comes to mind, as well as the perfume ad done in the style of "Weapon of Choice", complete with fantastic abilities being granted to the dancer.

Q: B5 Starfuries shoot out radially?

Charles Tucker 3I was rewatching some good old Babylon 5 episodes at the weekend and realised something I never thought about before. It looks like the Starfuries shoot out radially from Cobra Bays at launch, like driven by centrifugal force. Found this website (https://the_red_storm.fortunecity.ws/b5/b5.html) w...

@Clockwork likely. if anyone tries to close it, please point them to scifi.stackexchange.com/q/81579/4918
make sure it clearly has sci fi or fantasy elements though, just talking animals don't cut it if they just stand in for humans
