The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

What I found by pure observation about a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was how bizarre, intense, and random the story is. One idea that I wanted to analyze and take from this story was the meaning behind Arthur and the number 42. I found it this book very enjoyable to read through mainly because there is humor and jokes all the way through. In my opinion it's like the author doesn’t want the reader to take it seriously but for the reader to laugh and have fun while reading. This is science fiction is made to laugh at itself while honoring its true rich tradition, but to myself it feels like it is much more than that. Adams' peculiarly dead-on humor also draws deeply from well thought out sociology, philosophy, and of course science. I observed the tone of the book as being humorous and exciting journey but also mysterious with how they can be uncovered. That's one of the main ideas;s I found interesting with this books theme. Another idea I wanted to observe and analyze the meaning behind the number “42” and how to relates to Arthur and earth. What I didn’t expect was that the meaning of life was the number 42 because earth in the story is a massive supercomputer that declares that number as the true meaning of life which confused me but left me wanting to find out why? My personal take and experience on the work was an enjoyable ride through the cosmos of mystery, discovery, humor, and excitement.

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...

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...

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...
