#scifi #bookstodon I read the collection of works in The Wandering Earth by Cixin Liu. I had already seen the movie adapted from the Title and first story. I take away from these stories an appreciation of nature, simple pleasures, and cautionary tales of just because you can do a thing, perhaps you should not. This book of stories reminds me of Heinlein's own stories, published as a large book. Again, I love the visions of technology, space, exploration of the universe, but the true gems are human spirit, love of fellow humanity, and appreciation of the natural world. So, all the AI, crypto, blockchain, vibecoders -- you all need to go outside, feel the sun, wind, rain, and literally touch some grass, preferably something that isn't a monocultured flat golf green.
