Japanese: Gundam, obviously
American: gotta be Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A Heinlein
French: idk. Flash Gordon, Attack of the 50’ Woman, and Barberella are what come to mind, but those are American films
British: Time Machine by HG Wells of course
Valerian and Laureline seems to fit
Brb, gonna sample some sci-fi
Old Russian scifi: welcome to the crapsack post-apocalypse. It’s strangely similar to the current day. So, the protagonists do what current day people do: grim philosophical brooding.
Current Russian scifi: Awesome Russian soldier dude gets isekai’d to World War 2 and defeats the evil Western bastards. Help the author is trapped in Putin’s book factory send help
Current Russian* SciFi RPG: The Soviet era was awesome! Just kidding, this dystopic post-apocalyptic world is a better place to live than the real thing.
*actually made by an international group of developers living in Latvia, Ukraine, and Poland as well as Russia
But Fallout is American, not British
Feargus Urquhart is a Scottish-American dual citizen born and raised in Scotland. I’d say that qualifies Fallout as partly British 😉
American sci-fi: America is technologically, morally, physically, and intellectually superior. And the answer to all ills is more science.
Make it so, number one.
Hey! There are also Japanese sci-fi which just validate the author’s fetishes. There’s even two I know where that fetish is specifically polygamy.
British sci-FI: nuclear war. Almost everyone dead. Bit of a Tuesday, innit?
Oh well, off to work lads, tally ho!
Rodney: But Deell! Grandad’s got his foot stuck in the replicator, and the soylent police keep putting knives and forks through the letterbox!
*laughter*
Delboy: I’ll put you plonkers both through the letterbox if you dont hush up!
*laughter, applause*
Australian Sci-Fi: The rest of the world is forced to live in a desert wasteland full of criminals the way we do every day, and they struggle to adapt.
And we have telepathic dogs who teach us that women are bad
What
It’s not Australian, but that sounds like A Boy and His Dog.
And we bring back the Australian car manufacturing sector!
And the leatherworking industry!
And the leather daddy industry!
And raves!
Wait, we are bringing back raves, right?
I’m a Judge Dredd fan, can confirm it’s all Americas fault.
Are the Japanese robots pink?
They are if Yoshimi battles them!
Wasn’t sure if anyone was going to pick up on that.
It’s one of my favorite Guitar Hero/Rock Band songs to sing and just an absolute banger in general 😁
One of my favorite albums.
Ukrainian sci-fi: Everybody just fucking dies. Nobody’s fault, really. And there’s meaningless but meaningful love. Also, it also functions as a very long music video for the song “Voyage Voyage”, whose lyrics the author of the manuscript has clearly seen translated. (Referring here to “U Are the Universe”, which I liked a lot!)
As someone who read more Honor Harrington than he should have, the American one is a bit on the nose.
I never thought to meet someone else who read those.
Guilty pleasure, really.
“Time Enough for Love” by Robert Heinlein 😬 about a man that, basically, can live forever.
spoiler
He and his descendants live for so long, that sex loses meaning, and becomes some sort of “adult playtime” that he, inevitably, has with his actual children. Granted, the children are also like a thousand years old at this point too, but, still.
Lazarus Long? IIRC he’s also his own parents due to time travel shenanigans. During his early adulthood, he gets a one night stand pregnant and never sees her again. A couple hundred years later he transitions to a woman, for reasons, goes back in time, gets pregnant from a one night stand with a drifter. Both are him. Robert Heinline was a little messed up.
He started writing normal books again after having a brain tumour removed.
I only wish the audio books were available in non-amazon sources.
At one point in my life, every time I got a serious stomach flu, I would watch Threads (1984) so I could enjoy my life for even a bit.
British one sounds realistic
The British one is just British Sci.
Vander Meer’s Big Book of Sience Fiction has countless stories that run at odds to the sentiment in this post.
Agreed I’d say the most famous sci-fi don’t touch on any of these but it is just a joke post I guess
Yeah I neglected to add that Vander Meer’s motivation for making the anthology was specifically to try and crush the preconception of Sci-Fi this post is a part of!
