Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space series stands as a masterpiece within the realm of space opera, captivating readers with its expansive world-building and mind-bending science fiction concepts. In this video, we embark on a deep exploration of yet another intriguing concept from this series-an enigma that delves into the early stages of cosmic civilization within the vast expanse of the universe. Brace yourself as we unravel the mysterious origins of an ancient race of lifeforms, whose existence now lingers only in the form of scattered machines spanning the galaxy, designed with one sole and devastating purpose. However, I must issue a word of caution: this video contains some significant spoilers for the intricate lore of the Revelation Space Saga. If you are averse to having any aspect of this captivating series spoiled for you, I implore you to click away. However, if spoilers don't deter you or if you have already delved into the gripping narrative of at least the first book, then join me on this journey of discovery.
Let us embark upon our odyssey by delving into the very fabric of the universe itself. In the cosmic overture, there existed the singularity-a point of infinite density that held within it the entirety of existence. In an awe-inspiring instant, a matter of “plank” time, this singularity expanded exponentially, swiftly encompassing the size of our solar system and then spiraling outward to encompass the entirety of our galaxy. As this cosmic symphony unfolded, particles of matter and antimatter were released, engaging in a cataclysmic dance of annihilation upon collision. Yet, in the cosmic scales of fate, matter emerged triumphant, for it possessed a slight advantage over its antimatter counterpart, that being that there was simply slightly more matter than antimatter. Thus, the surviving matter laid the foundations for the intricate tapestry of our universe, persisting through the eons to the present day. This primal clash of matter and antimatter marked the genesis of the first war-a conflict that reverberated throughout the corridors of time. However, the universe is not solely a stage for astrophysics; it holds much more within its vast tapestry.
Within the pages of the Revelation Space series, we learn of the Dawn War-a conflict of unprecedented magnitude that reverberated across the Milky Way galaxy. No galactic war in the billion years that followed could ever hope to rival its monumental scale and profound impact. The Dawn War extended its vast tendrils across countless civilizations, stretching its shadowy grip to encompass myriad worlds. Its ferocious embrace endured for an inconceivable span of time, leaving no involved party unscathed and many civilizations entirely erased from existence. As the cosmic sands of time ebbed and flowed, an uncountable number of beings and cultures were lost to the eternal obscurity of forgotten history.

What I liked the most from Revelation Space, was the ship Nostalgia for Infinity. Described as ancient and "stupidly huge", Reynolds really nails how such a ship would have an incredibly complex history in a sub-lightspeed civilization. Way too much to handle for its crew of 5, the majority of the ship has become unfamiliar territory. Most of its cavernous sections have fallen into disrepair, some places quarantined entirely from threats that are beyond the crew's ability to excise, and you may even find a ghost or two in some of the operating systems. It's a wild, dangerous untamed jungle as much as it is a ship.

I read all the books in the Revelation Space Universe and Reynold's stand-alone sci-fi novels. I also read hundreds of other sci-fi books (all the classics and then some). The Revelation Space Universe gave me a sense of ever-looming danger and desperation that no other author yet invoked in me. It's fascinating and scary at the same time to me. I consider the Revelation Space stories to be among my Top 10 sci-fi books/series. Edit: Oh yeah, what got me into sci-fi: I read Jules Vernes "20 000 leagues under the sea" when I was 9 years old and have been hooked ever since. I even wrote my last University work in Anthropology about Cyborganthropology (based on Donna Harraway and Bruno Latour).

To me, the most sorrowful parts of the Revelation Space series are the few holdover aliens that survived the early days. They're usually the last of their kind, doomed to be surrounded by beings that they don't understand and don't understand them. I'm thinking of the solitary Grub in Yellowstone, or the craven Amarantin survivors hiding in the Shrouds, or the burrowing ice-worms acting as neurons for a glacially slow brain.

"the other hard space opera authors" other than The Expanse writers and Ian McDonald (Luna series), I legit can't think of many other contemporary authors who even deserve that title at all. Every other space opera author eventually falls back to FTL, psionics, and other 'soft' concepts (which are great, don't get me wrong...we love sci fi of all flavors!), but Reynolds refuses to cave. He carries hard sci fi on his shoulders, Atlas-style, with intelligent writing and BDE

@Ebalosus 9 ай бұрын

@@andrewk9267TBF I don’t think there’s a hard (excuse the pun) and fast rule for what constitutes _hard SF,_ because what would be considered "hard SF" a hundred years ago would in some ways be considered pretty soft now; and our "hard SF" might be considered soft in some ways a hundred years from now, for example. I do agree with your general point however, as I watch a lot of Isaac Arthur videos, and after inculcating them are left wondering where all the O’Neill/Mackendree cylinder space habitats are.

Mate, you've singlehandedly pushed me into becoming a much more avid sci-fi literature enjoyer. I've only ever read fantasy fiction, and have only read the Forerunner saga by Greg Bear -- who I knew was a well respected sci-fi writer, but I never really had the desire to branch out to ther stories and works. Some of your videos changed that -- mainly the one on the threebody problem. Ever since then I've been on a binge.

His Belladonna Nights is wonderful too. For me, it all started with 2001 a space Odyssey and a phenomenal English teacher who had us read Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451. Hooked on sci-fi ever since.

My first book I got into Sci-Fi was Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C Clarke. I also saw "Lawnmower Man" at a similar time to reading "Flowers for Algernon", which have similar themes, and similarly got into Star-Trek and Stargate, and it all came together. I also tried to get into B5 and Farscape, but I was a bit young to appreciate the themes. Rewatching both as an an adult, and like them both. I tend to like Sci-Fi as a vehicle to explore greater themes, with "Living Witness" for Star Trek Voyager my favourite singular episode of any sci-fi I can think of, which explores Racism and revisionist history in a really beautiful way.

Revelation space was the first real sci-fi series I read based on a friends recommendation. And it’s held onto my attention ever since. I rarely stop thinking about it. John Lee (the narrator) is also the voice of sci-fi for me in audio books. His narration style brings me right back into the universe. The RS universe also has a very distinct dingy, and slightly darker look in my mind eye. Sort of like the difference between the color and look of the Tom Cruise movie, Oblivion, and something like Alien, with its darker tones and grays and blues and browns

I liked Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space when I came across it because you rarely see Scifi not have some form of FTL travel, so it was weird getting used to how Light-Huggers operated and how that changes how people think about everything we normally take for granted on a planetary scale. Jack L. Chalker's Wellworld series is what really made me a huge scifi fan. Also Ben Bova's Orion series, Fred Saberhagen's Berserker series and Keith Laumer's Bolo series. More recently I've got into David Weber's Honorverse and Peter F. Hamilton's Void and Commonwealth series.
