- Marvin (The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy)
- K9 Mark III (Dr Who)
- 11-45-G (Love, Death & Robots)
- P-5000 Power Loader (Alien) -- not a robot per se
- IG-11 and K2SO (Star Wars) -- couldn't decide which one I prefer :)
Primer is one the better mind-fucking sci-fi movies.
Pocketbook Lux 5. Great piece of gear, with physical buttons and normal, non-touch screen. Also, comes from a small European company, instead of Amazon.
I manage my collection of ebooks using Calibre - great software.
I'm just finishing "The Zombie Survival Guide" by Max Brooks. It is a satirical survival manual - great fun and lots of highly practical hints.
Star Trek, both the old and new ones
Battlestar Galactica
It's high time. Still too few and too late, though.
Great movie, indeed. I also recommend you watching "The Darjeeling Limited", 'Moonrise Kingdom" and "The French Dispatch". Also, "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou", which kinda resembles me earlier works of Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
My personal list is short:
- Debian (Testing) - evertything works OOTB. Great performance. Stable. Plenty of current packages. Works on my workstation, laptop, RPi.
- FreeBSD ;) - if you really want an alternative.
I mostly read on my PocketBook. When finished, I delete a book from the device and mark it in Calibre with a tag "finished". I still have quite a lot of paper books - for those I just remember which I've already read.
First, as this is my first post here: hi all!
Regarding the topic, in no particular order, they differ so much..
Arthur C. Clark "2001: A Space Odyssey" - a classic, the book with the best movie adaptation ever
Stanislaw Lem "The Invincible" - great book about life and evolution
Neal Stephenson "Snow Crash" - my favorite cyberpunk novel
Arkady and Boris Strugatsky "Roadside Picnic" - the best approach to the issues of extraterrestrial contact
