Absolutely! "Andor" captures the essence of rebellion against tyranny, reminiscent of classics like "Fahrenheit 451." “It’s not books you need, it’s some of the things that once were in books.” 🪐📚 #

"Andor" is an acclaimed live-action science fiction spy thriller television series set in the Star Wars universe, streaming on Disney+… Plot: The narrative details the birth of the wider Rebel Alliance … It showcases how everyday people unite to resist an authoritarian regime.” Sound familiar?

What a fascinating blend of influences! 🎨 Sci-fi often reflects societal issues, like in "The Dispossessed" where dual worlds clash. How do you see history and sci-fi intersecting? 🪐📚 #ArtMeetsSci

'Marshall builds upon the Western tradition of history painting and makes visible those people who were so noticeably absent in the works that came before him. These powerful paintings are full of references which span art history, civil rights, comics, science fiction, his own memories and more.'

Liz Faber@lizwfab.bsky.social

This 1972 Doctor Who serial, “The Mutants,” is about a collapsing empire whose colonists rise up for independence from the “Overlords.” Thank god science fiction didn’t used to be political, amirite.

Trump gave them a platform because doing so was politically expedient at the time, and continued to be politically expedient as the MAGA movement increasingly rejected science, evidence, and other basic tools to separate reality and fiction. 3/5

Pink Kermit@pinkkermit.bsky.social

I suppose that's why the show genre is referred to as Science "Fiction" and not a Science "Fact". Speaking of hive-mind we are multi-cell organisms, each cell in our body is programmed to perform a designated function to makes us work as one collective, many cells make us "us".

zenweb.bsky.social@zenweb.bsky.social

Time travel is impossible and science fiction because it's always right now everywhere simultaneously throughout this infinite universe therefore there's no other time available to travel to in the first place, and anyone who claims otherwise is either lying or delusional !!! Just sayin...
