Fantastic. What worked and what didn't?

Read Dneprov, Anatoly... Even though it’s ours, Russian science fiction, it’s quite.
Better than any ’predators’. Smart, moderately scientific. Yes, what I write, read it, answer.

Not a book. Film "8th Day". I recommend. Kayden is a beauty.

I found and read the biography of this guy and read one of his works - The Clay God.
Well, what’s there? one might say...
I have read a large number of these production-detective-spy stories with some kind of extreme tolerances, due to which the author classifies his work in the realm of fantasy. Well, for example, like in the story I just read, The Clay God. In principle, this is not science fiction, but let’s just say include some kind of talking bird in the story, or say, an ordinary gate with elements of intelligence, and now this is science fiction for you.

With the same success you can write right now a story about how you fucked someone, but before that you bought a dildo in a sex shop. And during sex, he began to give you this vibrator advice on how best to take advantage of your companion. Let’s say you fuck her and are just about to cum, and he tells you - don’t be lazy! Well, think about football right now, or even better, about the fact that you were given a bonus of five thousand bucks, and where will you spend it now. And then you ask your companion - did you hear anything? And she answers - no!

And you think like that - well, fucked up! Apparently I’ve gone crazy. And you think - I need to see what happens when I fuck her next time.
And so on. And now this is already fantastic for you. Because there are no talking members.

I wrote about real science fiction. About what does not fit into human consciousness. Take for example the movie The Matrix. It’s not even a movie, it’s a concept. And who said that we do not live in the matrix? Maybe we all also live in a virtual reality invented by someone.
Or the movie Predator. In which some highly developed creatures fly to hunt other planets. This is a new reality for us people. We don’t know anything about this, and they just revealed a little piece of this reality to us.

Well, as for the Dnieper, during the Soviet period there were many such authors who wrote something there that fit into the party line and ideology. He would try to write something fantastic about Lenin or Brezhnev. They would have rolled it into asphalt on the second day. That is, it was necessary to write about the bestial grin of capitalism, about the peoples of African and Latin American countries striving to throw off the shackles of capitalism.
He would have tried to write, say, science fiction about the events of 17, but with a different scenario. When it was not the Bolsheviks who won, but someone else.

Understand that this is exactly what I wrote in my previous post. About so-called science fiction. Not just fantasy, but science fiction. This is the name given to science fiction that fits within the framework of ideology and propaganda. And there was a way out - to write about some relative matters. That is, about some distant galaxies and other civilizations. But it is difficult. First you need to pick mushrooms from somewhere. Yes, such that, on the one hand, the fantasies from them are bright, but on the other hand, so that the horses do not move.

Well, it was also possible to write something historical with elements of fiction, so that any historians would not be caught incorrectly reflecting historical events. In general, science fiction is a fairly easy genre - you can write whatever the paper can bear. Without particularly caring about compliance with anything else. If you decide to write a historical novel, how much time do you need to spend working with archives and ancient sources? But with science fiction everything is simpler - I watched a couple of documentaries on one topic or another - and off I go!

And I think that’s how it used to be. But now everything is different - everyone hangs out on the Internet. Nobody reads books - there are too many letters.
Everyone finds all this boring, especially if it is poorly written.

I don’t all like books, reading and not watching comics based on them. "War and Peace" - 20 pages, and you know everything. "Resurrection" No one knows Tolstoy..., "Crime and Punishment" - there’s a grandmother, an ax, and that’s it!!!! Why did Dostoevsky write so much? - ten lines and Raskolnikov in prison. And ask, who is Katya Maslova? No one will answer who has not read Tolstoy. And now no one reads.
Ask who "Iron Felix" is.
There are two answers (not for the stupid, I consider those who do not know the history of the Motherland, and are generally limited ):
Felix E. Dzerzhinsky.
Arithmometer, mechanical.
Expand your horizons, read books, be smart and girls will be drawn to you.
And only Tolstova They know Leo. And two Alexei Tolstoys. One wrote "Aellita’ and ’Hyperboloid...’, the other wrote ’Prince Silver’
