Description

The Mountain in the Sea is a science fiction book by Ray Nayler that focuses on events surrounding the Con Dao archipelago in Vietnam. This had been a place where strange stories persisted even before the Dianama Corporation bought out the entirety of it, creating a research facility and displacing the locals. In this world corporations have more power and wealth than many countries. The intersection of technology, capitalism, and surveillance culture has led to a society where corporate goals override national interests and ethical considerations. Problematic individuals are often discarded in this world, slavery persists, and new forms of intelligence-both artificial and biological-are emerging and challenging the definitions of consciousness, and autonomy. Keep in mind this video will have spoilers for the Mountain in the Sea. 👽 Please consider supporting this channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ideasoficeandfire or PAYPAL - https://paypal.me/QuinnsIdeas?locale.x=en_US 🎨 Art: By Daena Key - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Lbxvl 🎵 Music: https://www.youtube.com/@JamezDahlMusic 📚 Get These Books!

In the real world there is an octopus community in the Mediterranean where older octopuses guard and guide younger ones. It's hypothesized to be an adaptation to cope with the stresses of consistent fishing over millennia.

I'm not really a book reader but I have always enjoyed listening to stories since my grandad told me tall-tales of giant fish that "hollered like a man" he encountered while fishing. I found this channel before The 3 Body Problem became a show and have been hooked ever since, they give me that same "fear and wonder" I had listening to my grandad some 50 years ago. Keep reading and I'll keep listening. 👍

1984 is also a warning but governments and corporations seem to use it as an instruction manual and most people sit there and accept it like it's inevitable.

Cuttlefish are smart as hell. In the tank, they face you and actually LOOK at you!
