Hey everybody! Sorry I missed last weekend was busy with work. Again this is voting for the book to discuss at the end of October. I'll post the runner up from last month and otherwise post your selection. Don't forget that we will be discussing Winter World by A.G. Riddle at the end of the month / next weekend!

Looks like "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" wins by default! Since engagement is dropping off here I might defer to the !sciencefiction@lemmy.world book club.

It's finally here. Woo! We should get a game thread going later. How's everyone going to watch the game? Double checked last night the antenna is getting NBC just fine.

Books missing something (sh.itjust.works)

What sci-fi books are missing something that seems obvious to us today (and is somewhat central to the story / setting)?

My first thought was Dune with the ban on thinking machines. If you asked just about anyone today they would say the far future would involve computers everywhere. But Frank Herbert wrote Dune in 1965 when computers were huge, specialized machines and we hadn't even landed on the moon yet. And he saw a future where not only computers became ubiquitous but we're then rejected.

So what books jump out as missing something that we would find inconceivable today?

Lions have the nationally televised 1pm est game today. Why is there only 1 one o'clock game and tons of evening games? Don't know, don't care. Because the Lions play at 1!

Who's everyone excited to see do their thing today. Personally I want to see how the rookie WRs are today. It's looking like we're gonna need at least one of them at the start of the season. So can Drummond, Cota, or Green make a case it should be them? Defensively I got nothing, maybe the DB depth?
