The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers

In this story The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers that I found to be interesting in my opinion was the entire books theme and purpose with how time travel works and how old egyptian magicians face off against the british empire in Egypt. One thing that I observed was how Doyle a character that is trying to protect the present along with the british finds himself in a new body in the past in an attempt to stop magicians and Romany from altering time with the time gate. The main idea that I discovered was how time and space have to stay in equilibrium in order to protect the past along with saving present/future of Egypt and the british. I found it interesting how the british and the ancient egyptian pharaohs and magicians from the past try to take back Egypt in the future which is the present time for the briish. Another part of this story that is really interesting on my take is how they use time gates to time travel from time period to time period to try and save Egypt from Egypt’s past. My idea about this story was the overall execution of time travel and how time is supposed to run its course through time with no alterations in the past. What I took as my own personal experience was how in this story time travel is essential to save Egypt from itself from its own past self. Meaning, New Egypt with the british living there is trying to stop old Egypt from changing history along with the space-time continuum. Overall, I found this story to be quite a time travel adventure along with being great with the way time travel works within it.

Future in 15 Years and 50 Years

What do you think the future will be like in 15 years? I believe the future will have a more advanced society with technology surrounding and becoming more and more dependent in our lives. VR haptic suits will be created and virtual reality will be a very popular use I believe, augmented reality will take over phones and phones will be far more superior and I believe there will be more wearable technology that more and more people will use. Overall, more wearable tech in 15 years and starting a colony on Mars. What do you think the future will be like in 50 years?  Society will have a different landscape and technology will be everywhere you look in this time period. The first would be how I could see bigger and more expanded cities but way more people than ever before. There would be more advanced ways of traveling. Space travel to other planets would be possible along with a society on Mars for sure. Wearable tech all over someone, clothes may have tech inside them while socie...

BloodChild

When I read the short story Bloodchild I was really interested and fascinated by how two species can work together in good and bad way in my opinion. The first species that assists the other one are called the terrans and the other is known as the Tlic however the Tlic co-depends on the terrans. One part of this story that I observed and analyzed was the topic of slavery essentially in this short story. I observed how slavery was needed in this story in order for the Tlic species to survive but in my opinon I feel like the terrans should have recieved something in return for thier services towards the Tlic. I also took away from my own experience with this story that the Tlic need a terran host in order to reproduce their own species and survive. What I found to be quite interesting was how this story depends on the dependecy of another species and the meaning behind that relates to slavery but also survival in my opinion. Furthermore, I found it to be saddening to see that one species...

Anniliation

In my own opinion Annihilation is a great read for anyone to get invested into. The main topic I would like to talk about throughout the book that caught my attention was the environment along with it’s fantastic and immersive design. The environment looks plagued and infected with colorful algae and plants. My own experience with this was how I felt that there was a connection with the environment along with the characters. The forests are full of life but I felt intimidated when it turns night within this immersive world because danger lurks within the shadows. My perspective was that the environment during the day felt mysterious, interesting, and impactful while at night it’s more menacing, fearful, and dangerous. This impacts my point of view with the book because the environment within this story portrays a huge factor with characters and their interactions with the environment and it’s creatures. It has an uneasy feeling for my own point of view because it’s pr...
