the great war BBC documentary series (1964)

At first this 20 hour documentary was thrilling, thanks to the incredible footage of the war and wonderful BBC narrator with his classic British accent, but as it went on it really dragged, mainly because it focused too much on western front infantry experiences (for like 10 hours) and not enough on strategy, tactics, or politics.

Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter.

Maelstrom by Peter Watts

Watts’s second entry in the Rifters series doesn’t quite have the same unique magnetic characters of the first (and maybe it has slightly too many characters in general) but what it lacks in story it makes up for in prediction and world - read this to wallow in a truly terrible future dystopia that feels extremely likely.
