I recently read Hyperion by Dan Simmons, which was a book I thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately, the book ends on a cliffhanger that cuts the story off right before the moment that the whole plot has been building up to. So of course, I check the library for the second book, Fall of Hyperion, and there's […]

Curious to see why ‘Boycott Boots’ was trending on X (formerly Twitter) , I watched this controversial festive campaign and was even more baffled what the fuss was about. The […]

The terror isn’t in its science fiction plot, which follows an android who leaves the safety of his home colony to chase down a mysterious floating light, taking him deep into the astonishing depths of an unknown superstructure. Over the […]
Sponsor Content Created With M&S As a fashion editor, I spend my days refining the art of shopping—curating trends, forecasting covetable pieces and sifting through endless racks (both virtual and physical) to find the pieces that truly matter.
