To be honest, I don't know exactly what that calibre is supposed to be. There are books that are supposed to be literature that I think are utterly boring and/or unreadable. But if you want a list of SF that's considered award worthy, you could start with books that have won a Hugo award.

Science Fiction is/was not considered as literature because the gatekeepers of literature are not able to see through the technical bits to understand the story. They have, in fact, a very narrow vision. Even though they claim to have a wider vision because they read and understand literature.

The most immediate threat of AI is not the technology running amok on its own, but how it will be wielded by the business leaders that own it.

Me wants, me not has the money

To be honest, If I did have the money, I would not spent it on a new car, but that's besides the point... maybe if I had lots of money maybe then

I really love the thought that went into the modular design.

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her
tireless advocacy for the environment...

Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!

I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.

Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️
