The Hound Of The Baskervilles is a perfect novel. Not just a perfect Holmes novel, but a perfect novel.

Well, this is a first: a ChatGPT-generated story won a prestigious literary prize (The Commonwealth Prize).

"Not X, not Y, but Z" sentences everywhere, the "hums" trope, and plenty of other obvious markers of AI writing.

A major milestone for AI, at any rate...

It's #WorldPenguinDay today. Always a good excuse to reread some classic Penguin Science Fiction: there's a lot to choose from!

As you may have heard, “The Thing” has been added to the Library of Congress. We made the movie to push against the edges of what we could pull off, and it carries that strain in its bones. Seeing it now treated with the same care and reverence we had making it means a great deal to me and everyone who brought it to life.

I especially want to remember TK Carter, who brought heart and humor into that desolate, frozen place and should be standing here with us today sharing in this recognition. 

Thank you to everyone who continues to keep it alive.

Amelia is a typeface that has long been associated with science fiction, particularly in the 1970s.

Designed by Stan Davis in 1967 it was partially influenced by magnetic ink character recognition technology: machine readable glyphs that appeared at the bottom of cheques. Countdown, Data 70 and Westminster are three other typefaces that have the same influence.

It was famously used for the title cards of The Beatles film Yellow Submarine, but it's another use that really cemented it as the font of science fiction: it was used as the logo for the Moon Boot range of snow boots that became fashionable in the early 1970s.

This Thursday at 9.55pm on @TalkingPicsTV. This is based on a novel by Richard Matheson, who was also one of the screenwriters. Two further adaptations were The Omega Man and I Am Legend. Film enthusiasts will know (or should get to know) Matheson. He wrote a lot of screenplays..
