I have been obsessed with this series of books and films these last days. I believe it is the absolute best science fiction that has ever been made, and required reading and viewing for anyone wanting to write seriously for the genre.

I know "where is my jetpack" is a meme by now, and that the Cold War continued in this series, while showing human folly while dealing with technology.

But it makes me sad this does feel like the future we should have had.

It was written so believably well, and our world so terribly written and chaotic and hopeless and run by morons at the highest levels, sometimes I feel like the Odyssey series is humanity's canon timeline.

Not ours.

I love this book series too. I enjoyed the first movie. The second movie is my favorite, though. And I think the second book is my favorite of the series too.
