Description

In this video, we discuss "House of Suns" by Alastair Reynolds. This book has some of the coolest science fiction ideas that I've encountered. The work of Reynolds is absolutely riveting. In this video, we discuss the "Vigilance" an ancient race of "Humans" who seem to have knowledge about one of the greatest mysteries in their universe, the disappearance of the Andromeda galaxy. 👽 Please consider supporting this channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ideasoficeandfire or PAYPAL - https://paypal.me/QuinnsIdeas?locale.x=en_US 🎨Art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Lr45v 🎵Music: https://www.youtube.com/@JamezDahlMusic 📚Get These Books! https://amzn.to/427Iv4K Quinn's Discord: https://discord.gg/uGx4WsjVCZ FOLLOW QUINN ON TWITTER: Twitter: https://twitter.com/IDEASOFICE_FIRE Quinn's New Graphic Novel: https://www.quinnhoward.net/theliebehindthestar Three-Body Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRXGGVBzHLUfIzEhovpQJ2ENiNvJoOD2A H.P.

One of my favorite sci-fi books. Chases across the galaxy that take 50,000 years or more because FTL isn't a thing? Hell yes.

Fun fact about the Bootes Void: If our galaxy was one of the few within that void, it would have taken us until the 1960s to develop telescopes powerful enough to detect the presence of other galaxies. That's how empty it is.

You’ve gotten me back into sci fi. Several books in high school really left a bad taste in my mouth, but a lot of these books have rekindled my love for science fiction and fantasy.

This is becoming a comfort channel, like everytime I see a video up I instantly click on it and get brought to what can only be described as in front of nice warm fire place with a great story teller. For however pessimistic the world makes me feel, stuff like this brings me back.

One of the best sci-fi novels ever. Of course everything Reynolds writes is great.

I’m a huge nerd for humans becoming so scientific that they cross the lines of even being human! Thank you so much for showing me another great book sir.

Reynolds also uses the idea of "shattering" in his Blue Remembered Earth series. A woman is struggling to decide what to do with her life, facing three main options. So she decides to split herself into three people, with each of them choosing one of those three paths.

My favorite book of all time. Thank you so much Quinn because you didn’t just give a spoiler warning, you gave a “you need to read this book” warning.

Truly, TRULY, satisfying story, I couldn't stop listening to the audiobook and wound up staying up all night until work the next morning; I went to work both knackered and saturated by the mood this narrative put in me.
