While Katie does express the sadness the topic can bring toward the end of the book, she manages to spread humor throughout. This fascinating book – The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking), by Katie Mack – discusses the end of the universe in a way that’s actually somewhat enjoyable. Kelly recommends The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking) But there are still the books! The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking) by Katie Mack. Execs renewed it for a second season of eight episodes, which began on February 27, 2020. The first season of 10 episodes premiered on Netflix on February 2, 2018. And how can I recommend Altered Carbon any more highly than that? Now I don’t seem to be able to pull away from Altered Carbon (I’m close to the end of season 1), to get back to For All Mankind. There’s also a great depiction, one of the best ever, of AIs. I love the story, and Joel Kinnaman, and the several strong female leads in season 1 (especially Detective Kristin Ortega, played by Mexican actress Martha Higareda). It’s especially fun to be watching as we’re poised to see the Artemis 1 launch to the moon. For All Mankindįor All Mankind is a great show, too. In this setting, the story goes, Takeshi Kovacs is released from prison in order to solve a murder. The basic premise of Altered Carbon is that people can transfer human consciousness from body to body (from “sleeve” to “sleeve”). And it’s cyberpunk all the way, set in a dystopian future featuring the classic cyberpunk qualities of “lowlife and high tech” we sci-fi fans all know and love. Laeta Kalogridis created the Altered Carbon TV series, basing it on Richard K.

I love him, and I love his character on Altered Carbon of Takeshi Kovacs, a super-soldier (and super hunk) from an earlier place and time. Just because the leading man for both is the Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman. I started watching season 1 of Altered Carbon on Netflix, while in the midst of watching For All Mankind on AppleTV.
