Anyone who's happy to read to p686 of a thread about a scifi book set in the far future should definitely read Children of Time if they haven't yet.

There’s spider imagery in Arrival too. Guy just likes spiders.

The heptapods aren't really spiders though, or is there something else I'm forgetting?

What else has Denis put spiders in? Incendies nutz?

The nightmare where she briefly sees a heptapod in the corner of her room is definitely evocative of a spider

Spare batteries are pretty key.
I'm really hoping that they were filming in Jordan and took a day off to go see Petra for fun and aren't going to film scenes for their far future outer space movie at an incredibly famous world heritage site that has already been prominently featured in several major motion pictures.

honest answer - all the sci fi writers of the 50s and 60s were gargantuan pervs, and the idea of a dude who couldn't gently caress was totally alien/unethical to them.

I'm diggin The Big Lebowski crossover jokes, but man that movie never fails to put me right to sleep. It's not even that it's bad, it's pretty good, it just drags in a way that's oddly lulling in the middle act. Not sure I've ever stayed awake through the whole thing.

Isaac Asimov's stuff was fairly sci-fi first, people second, even though the man was apparently an awful sex pest in general (:smith:), but even in his robot novels where the plot device is a logical-but-not-reasonable-humaniform robot (think Data from startrek), one of the books in the series is about a robot that a horny lady hosed until the robot broke, and the resolution involved the woman having sex of dubious consent with a filthy Earthman.

So you know, yeah.

Did Clarke have any horny books? The Rama series becomes a weird soap opera with weird sex and family drama, but that's Gentry Lee's fault as far as I know.

The Forever War has some problematic views about homosexuality in an eternal war complicated by relativistic travel problems, maybe you're thinking of that? Heinlein was the incest dude.

Given that Clarke is apparently a pedophile I sure hope not.
