Your videos are so well scripted... I'm always impressed. Not only they are clear and concise, but damn, they are good writing.

Excellent video. The books are definitely worth a read.

Thanks for this video. I always wondered if other people saw the plague like I did. I love the Revelation Space novels. Glitter City is fascinating. And oh my goodness, the Pattern Jugglers!

@@pierstewfik7858 thanks, and yeah, i kind of mixed those names up.

Great Video Darrell. I would love to see you dive into how to read the revelation space books, similar to your Culture video

Want the origin explained in Chasm City? Something to do with the Grubs? And Dream Fuel was the cure which is excreted by the Grubs? It's been a while since I read it so maybe I'm misremembering.

I thought so as well. Gideons ship must have had it on board and i doubt it was a malicious technology. If it was meant to be a weapon, it would probably not have left anything at all on Yellowstone. The Conjoiners even developed plague hardened nanomachines within what? A few decades? That‘s actually kind of quick.

Yes it was. I feel like these videos are generally kind of poorly researched.

Great video, not read revelation space series yet, it’s definitely getting a bump up the list!

Reynolds did give an explanation of how he melding plague started in Elysium Fire.

Been playing starfield and was thinking about revelation space this morning. Nice timing

read the books years ago This reminded me how good the ideas were In the 50s and 60s when they looked ahead to today they thought we would be living in undersea cities Living on the moon and Mars Travel around the planet what was missed was personal computers how they would change our work and relationships When we look ahead from now say 100 years will tec have continued to improve or will we devolve

I assumed the melding plague was a natural phenomenon because I'm a cosmic horror girlie, but I'm going to have to keep the sabotage theory in mind when I eventually do a reread.

Hey, nice work. What do you use for your video clips? Ta, Jon

I'm pretty sure that it was caused by grub molecular technology not playing well with human nanotech. I think that the grub's red fluid tries to harmonise inorganic and organic microscopic structures by reorganising them but accidentally destroying both in the process. Pretty sure that it is explained in Chasm City. I may be wrong it has been years since I read that one.

No that's right

Thanks! Actually my best friend is working in nanotechnology as part of optics experiments.

I like reading Sci-Fi. Stand-alone novels don't do for me anymore. I am a person who likes books. Audiobooks and e-books are, at times, missing parts of the novel. Back to my main point, I like reading book series. I have been reading Sci-Fi for more than six decades. I am retired and prefer Sci-Fi series. I read some of the books that you recommended a long time ago. What I am looking for in reviews or recommendations is a modern series. I've read the "Expanse" series, the "Void" series by Peter F. Hamilton, plus other series too numerous to mention. I am currently reading the second volume of "The Inhibitor" series. I have read the "Revenger" series. I will be reading "The Imperial Radch" series by Ann Leckie. Can you recommend a later series than those I've finished. a while back. I am currently using a search engine to find new series to read.

Is this a bot?

How is "sabotage" different from it being a weapon?

Darrel, just so that you know, these deep dive titles are the most clickable of your content. KZread is so saturated of listings so alike "ten best tv series" that it's kinda meh. A good mysterious/creepy/obscure maybe a little bit uninti..ligi..lige..bly? ble? blu... title is so many times more alluring. Today's title was spot on, I was like clickity clickackity click click! See people? See? I can say useful things to Darrel without drooling all the time, success! 😎

Sooooo, Covid if all of the lies were true.
