Imagination-101 with science fiction
Volume-2, Issue-26
Unfortunately, the world seems all dystopian right now. Books have been a great company to escape, so let’s take a step ahead and get out of this world - LITerally.
Science Fiction is one genre that ensures a pleasing visual imagination that is exciting and adventurous to experience. Grab a towel (Hitchhiker’s guide to galaxy reference) and get let’s back into the future!
We cover this nerdy genre with podcasts, videos, and recommendations around the same.
If you have more read, listen or watch recommendations, feel free to share them with the community as a post.

Marsfall - podcast by CuriousCast
Marsfall follows some of the earliest colonists to settle on Mars in the year 2047, and each episode continues the story from a different character’s perspective. Led by their fearless commander Jacki O’Rania, and assisted by the artificial intelligence unit ANDI. The podcast asks questions about the objective truth and what it means to be human, about what happens when we try to start anew when our planet falls apart.
