At some point in humanity's future, maybe sooner than we think, we will have to deal with the reality of potentially conscious artificial intelligences. If the mind is in fact merely an emergent byproduct of a complex brain then there is no reason that other complex forms could not also give birth to other emergent forms of consciousness. Such forms of consciousness would not be based on any biological form of evolution. Their desires and wishes might seem entirely foreign and indecipherable to humans, for we are incapable of escaping beyond the bubble which is our own perception. The potential relationship between mankind and machine intelligence has been explored in countless science fiction books, Isaac Asimov, Frank Hebert, Ian M. Banks, have all written about this idea in various different way. But in this video will will discuss one of the most interesting examples, in one of the most often overlooked book series. The Hyperion Cantos is a series of science fiction books written by Dan Simmons. The books begin several hundreds of years into our own future. In this time after the “Big Mistake” Which destroyed all life on the planet Earth, humankind has spread out among the galaxy and formed the Hegemony which connected hundreds of worlds by Farcaster technology, which was created by the technocore. Fatline Technology, also a gift from the Core, allowed for instantaneous communication and travel between equipped worlds. Farcaster technology, like many others, had been a gift from the Technocore. The Technocore was a combination of Artificial intelligences that had originated on earth but eventually evolved self awareness and sentences. The Technocore evolved to become distinct from humanity itself as it was a major player on the galactic stage, acting as its own independent society. The relationship between the technocore and the human race was seemingly a cooperative one, the Technore even advised the hegemony, through avatars of their own creation.

Once, mankind looked up at the night sky, at the stars shining in the black abyss and they called them gods. Eventually, we realized that in actuality our own sun was just like each of those billions of stars out there in the darkness. It only took one leap of thought for someone to ask the question, If each of those stars is suns just like ours, do they have planets just like ours as well? And if they have planets, then could there be life, like us on other worlds? In my last video, A Brief History of Space Travel in Science Fiction, we discussed Lucians, second-century work, True History, which depicts Lucian's journey through outer space where he encounters alien lifeforms. We also mention Voltaire's 1752 story, MicroMegas, which centers around a giant alien who goes on a journey throughout the universe. The fact that we have a work dating back to the year 300 AD depicting aliens shows that the idea that humans are not alone in the universe is just as ancient as the idea of traveling through space. Cosmic Pluralism is the specific term for what I’m describing here, it is the idea that there are many inhabited worlds beyond ours. Galileo didn’t develop the Heliocentric model of our solar system until the early 17th century, which means humans had been thinking about life in other worlds even before it became clear that the earth revolved around the sun.

The writers of the last couple hundred years, especially the 40s, 50s, and 60s, are the ones we remember most when considering the history of space travel in stories. But actually, the idea of mankind traveling through space is much much older. Ancient in fact. There are Hindu stories from the Ramayana, which is one of two major Sanskrit epics, depicting flying machines capable of destroying cities with advanced weapons of mass destruction and traveling into space. These date back to the 4th and 5 Centuries between 300 AD and 500 AD.

SPOILERS! In Dan Simmons's epic science fiction saga there are Several planets known to be Labyrinthine worlds. The Labyrinthine worlds were always similar to each other. Each world was earth-like. The Hegemony has a method of measuring Earth-Like worlds known as the solmev scale, each of the labyrinth worlds measured at least 7.9 out of 10 on the scale.. They always circled a G-type Star. The Labyrinthine worlds were all tectonically dead, meaning the continents did not shift as they did on earth. And below the surface of each of the labyrinthine worlds, a minimum and 10 kilometers deep were systems of elaborate tunnels. Thousands of kilometers of tunnels catacombed the entirety of each world. The Tunnels of each world were exactly 30 meters square and had perfectly smooth walls. Since the Higera, mankind's great exodus from earth and into space, more than 8,000 worlds had been explored and out of those 9 worlds were found to have Labyrinths. Though it is mentioned multiple times in the series that there are 9 labyrinthine worlds, only three of them are ever actually named. Armaghast, Svoboda, and Hyperion. Many planetary archeo historians devoted their lives to the study of the labyrinths.

Spoilers! Seventy Bikura survived the initial crash landing on the world of Hyperion. Several centuries after this, the 67-year-old Jesuit Priest, Paul Dure would encounter the Bikura after being exiled to the Outcast world of Hyperion. The details of what happened to father Dure on Hyperion are recounted by father Hoyt, during the beginning of the pilgrimage to Hyperion which takes place in the first book in the series. Dure’s fanatic loyalty to his faith had been the reason for his exile; he had attempted to create false evidence for a Pre-human Christian society of the Labyrinthine World of Armaghast. He had falsified archaeological records during his time researching the Labyrinthes of Armaghast. Hyperion was his punishment. Early on during his time on Hyperion, he had paired with a man named Tuk, who would be his guide to the high country of Hyperion. Eventually, they made it to their destination, The Cleft, where he had intended to set up an ethnological research station. The flame forest near the cleft made it unreachable for most of the Hyperion year, and the region was believed to be uninhabited by most, but father Dure knew of the Bikura and had intended to study them in the context of the retrograde cultural effects of their extreme isolation over adaptation and inbreeding. But when Dure eventually finds the Bikura they are not what he expected...

Warning! Some book spoilers! It has often been said that nature is cruel. All life on Earth is believed to have evolved from the same single-celled organism. Over the course of 3.5 Billion years those single cells, diversified, multiplied, became multiple celled organisms, developed organs, bones, and limbs. Life eventually filled every niche on the planet, each species learning to survive in its own way while constantly being tested by mother nature. But the cruelest fact about life has always been that in order to survive it must feed upon itself. Life consumes life. And there are many ways of doing it. A butcherbird is a type of bird found mostly in African and Eurasian countries. It is a type of bird known as a Shrike. Once a Shrike captures its prey it impales the body upon sharp thorns or spikes. This allows the Shrike to bit by bit, tear the flesh from the creature it has captured, eating it in small chunks. These birds are also known to be territorial, they defended their claimed areas against rivals. The Idea of a Shrike has been used in fiction multiple times. But Dan Simmons’ Hyperion in my opinion makes the most interesting use of the attributes of the Shrike bird, within a fictional creature.

The word Kralizec does not appear in the Dune saga until the book Children of Dune. It is spoken of both as a terrible fate waiting for humankind in its future and as a rite of passage for the species, an inevitability that would test humankind to its limits but in the end, leave them with the ability to survive indefinitely within an often malignant universe. Paul Atreides Jihad killed more than 60 billion humans, but the price of Kralizec would be far greater.

MEGA SPOILERS AHEAD! A curse is an invocation, a prayer that calls for harm to fall upon another. We all pretty much know what curses are, but today I want to talk about curses thematically, in the context of Frank Herbert’s Dune of course. Now before we get into the meat of this we have to discuss a small bit of Greek mythology, specifically one particular dynasty described in pseudo-greek history. The house of Atreus. It is no secret that Frank Herbert took some degree of influence from Greek mythology with his creation of House Atreides in Dune. House Atreides like the House of Atreus is continually plagued with misery and tragedy. Nearly all members of house Atreides that we encounter in the book are met with tragic ends.

Dune has long been regarded as one of the greatest and most influential science fiction series. Everything from Star Wars, to Star Trek, to the Expanse has been in some way inspired by the classic work of Frank Herbert. Dune focuses on the economic and sociopolitical systems revolving around the planet Arrakis, the only planet in the empire where the precious spice Melange can be found. Arrakis, also known as Dune falls under the Fiefdom of The Noble Great House Atreides, Which consist of Duke Leto, his Bene Gesserit Concubine Jessica, and their 15-year-old son Paul. The native people of Arrakis are called the Fremen, who were once, many centuries ago, known as the Zensunni Wanderers, the books indicated the at fremen are a homogeneous group that picked up the gene of many different humans during their migrations from planet to planet before settling on Dune. Much of Fremen culture as described in the books is inspired by real-world Buddist and Islamic traditions. The main plot of the first Dune book is centered around Paul Atreides' use of the Fremen to avenge the fall of House Atreides and gain control of the Imperial throne. Now, I won't be explaining the entire plotline of the Dune Saga, I mean that would take several hour-long videos, and who has time for that? (Show Ultimate Guide) Though Dune is considered one of the most influential Science fiction Saga’s ever, it’s not without controversy. It has been argued by some that Dune is one of the prime examples of the White Savior trope. Now I’ve addressed this in the past to some degree, see this video I did hear responding to an article written by Noah Bertlasky which accused Paul of being a quote, “Mighty Whitey”, but I’ve never dived entirely into the subject. In this video, we will explore the historical context of the White Savior trope, dissect how race is viewed in the Dune saga, and determine once and for all whether or not Dune is an example of this trope.

In the Dune Universe, the 9th planet in the Alkalurops, star systems was known as IX. The Ixians not only lived on the edge of the human empire, they operated in ways which pushed the limits of the universal ban on thinking machine intelligence. After the Machine Crusade, the Butlerian Jihad which violently expunged all computing technology, it was agreed during the Great Convention that the violation of the ban on thinking machines would result in execution. Still, the Ixians were not subjugated in the empire, Ixian technology was widely acknowledged to be the best so they were allowed to exist and a blind eye was turned as long as they did not go too far. According to the appendix of Dune, Ix along with the planet Richese had escaped the more severe effect of the Buterlian Jihad and remained strongholds of machine technology. Machine culture permeated Ixian society and this only seemed to increase during the time of the god emperor and after it. The God Emperor, Leto II acknowledged the dangers of Ixians invention; he tolerated them for reasons which they themselves struggled to understand.

I’ve pointed out before that Dune is one of the most influential science fiction book series ever written but every great thing is also influenced by something else. Isaac Asimov is one of the greatest Science Fiction Authors ever. His science fiction series, The Foundation, and its associated works laid the groundwork for everything that Frank Herbert’s Dune eventually one day would be. In This video, I will go over all the ways in which Frank Herbert was inspired by the work of Isaac Asimov. This video will of course contain spoilers for both book series!

Hey guys, it’s Quinn! Today we will be discussing what is without a doubt the most influential science fiction book Saga of all time, Asimov’s Foundation, and of course the associated works. Nowadays science fiction is known for its giant space empires with interconnecting politics, battles among the stars, and decades and even centuries-long plots with many different characters. Even robotic lifeforms have become a staple of science fiction. But these things were not always standard in the genre. Isaac Asimov, born January 2, 1920, is essentially credited with inventing the Galactic Empire. Asimov also coined the term “Robotics” and the term “Positronic'' both of which were used in one of the greatest Science Fiction shows of all time, 1987’s Star Trek The Next Generation, for the android character, Data, whose positronic mind was a focal point of many episodes. These words, like many of the terms and concepts used in Asimov's books and short stories, have become commonplace in science fiction. This becomes clearer when we take a look at what science fiction was before 1940.
