I love proper scifi ................ I love sci-fi, especially books. My favourites are Jerry Pournelle's 'Falkenberg's Legion' series (lots of politics, military history and the ethics of war) and the fascinating Honor Harrington series by David Weber (history, religion, politics, womens' roles/rights, ethics of genetic engineering and of course technology). Both have interesting and complex characters too. Highly recommended,

As far as TV/films go, I enjoy SW/Trek as entertainment, but the best ones are dark and dystopic, or with a focus on the human aspects of space colonization (Interstellar, Avatar, the Expanse, Blade Runner). I particularly liked NatGeo's docudrama Mars, now on Netflix. Very thought-provoking.

I regret to say that I am useless at pastry. Better with cakes.
