The fact that there is people that doubt you are a real person instead of AI would sound like sci-fi dystopia just some time ago.

Love Quinn's long form videos, the 4 hour 3 body problem is epic and I've listened to it multiple times. This one is starting off good but my damn boss keeps interrupting me talking about work😂😂😂

I love seeing the Douglas Adams in the background, just a reminder that darkness can be dealt with in many ways.

Plot twist. Quinn is an android from the future bringing us troves of Sci-fi treasures…who has to refute being AI generated

When I first read “Nightfall” I absolutely hated it. I thought it was unbelievable that people would act the way they did, and turn on each other like that. Then the Anti-Christ was elected into to office, and it all made sense.

You are, without doubt, the best science fiction essayist/content creator on all of YouTube. And its not really even close.
