Does watching the Foundation TV series spoil the books?
I've heard the adaptation is not faithful in the slightest, but having not read the source material I wouldn't know. On the one hand though, I thought this might be a blessing because the series has ignited an interest in me to read the books and if they're greatly different then they should still read pretty fresh for me but obviously on the other hand if the series is what ignited the interest then probably what I found engaging is not the same thing I'd find in those books.
What are they like and would I still get as much out of them if I hadn't first watched the adaptation?

Darkome by Hannu Rajaniemi
Just finished this. I'm not a review writer, but it's a solid hardish SciFi, bit cyber punk. Looking forward to the sequel.

Harlan Ellison Directory
ndhfilms.com OTHER PROJECTS | HARLAN ELLISONA directory of Harlan Ellison’s work, including short stories, essays, screenplays, and novellas.
Hello,
I wanted to share one of my ongoing project. This is a directory of works by Harlan Ellison. Ellison was one of the most popular writers of science fiction in his time, but sadly most of his work is out of print. This directory includes summaries of his short stories, essays, book introductions, and teleplays.
Some of Ellison's best-known works include I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, Repent, Harlequin! Said the Ticktockman (which influenced V for Vendetta), A Boy and His Dog, Dangerous Visions and the Star Trek episode The City on the Edge of Forever.
So, far, 21 books have been added.
I hope this directory helps keep his work alive. If you're a fan and would like to contribute some write-ups of a book that's not been added yet, let me know.

Science fiction has always been an important playground of radical politics for anarchists, libertarians, and socialists alike. My personal favorite is Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents (the two completed novels of her Earthseed series), which tell the story of a Unite...
