Hi Everyone! My name is Rod and I’m a lifelong lover of sci-fi and fantasy. My website The7thMatrix.com contains a collection of indie, SFF short films. My podcast, EYE ON SCI-FI, is where I talk about indie sci-fi shorts, as well as interview indie creators of great speculative media! Looking forward to getting my feet wet in the community!
@eosfpodcast
Any recommendations for stories similar to The Expanse?
@GrahamFluster The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells is highly praised: https://www.goodreads.com/series/191900-the-murderbot-diaries #scifi
@eosfpodcast
I love that series! I haven't read a new one in a while though, so I'll check for a new release. Thanks for the reminder!
@eosfpodcast Welcome, it is a very friendly place to be.
Hi Rod. I've been away from sci-fi reading for, well, a few decades.
I'm a hardcore contemplative (meditator), and enjoyed Herbert's *Dune* and works by William Gibson and Dan Simmons for their incorporation of spiritual experience material and explorations.
Do you have recommendations for current writers in that vein?
many thanks

@bodhidave Hi Dave. Here are a few of my favorite authors in sci-fi right now: N. K. Jemisin ( The Broken Earth Trilogy, 3x Hugo Award-winning series), Octavia Butler, Nalo Hopkinson, and Rivers Solomon. Enjoy!
@eosfpodcast Yes! Another SF podcast! Looking forward to listening to it and checking out your website.
@cautionwip Thank you very much! Hope you enjoy.
@eosfpodcast Huge Sci-Fi fan myself. What’re your favourites? Ever read the Dragon’s Egg/Starquake series?
It’s a pleasure to meet another fellow sci-fi enthusiast :)
@cenobyte I have many favorites too numerous to list. Pleasure to meet you as well!
@eosfpodcast Hey Rod, tried looking for a link to your site but can't find it.
Maybe you will be interested in my short films?
Sure, if your films are in the sci-fi fantasy genres, I'd be happy to give them a look. Use the link in my bio to contact me.
