Echopraxia is a book set in one of the most interesting sci-fi universes that I have covered on this channel. It is technically a sequel to Blindsight, but it is not necessary that you read Blindsight to understand Echopraxia. Echopraxia is set in the late 21 century. About 14 years after man’s first contact with alien life.
This book brings up one of the most interesting concepts I’ve ever encountered in any sci-fi book ever. And that is the concept of the “Digital Universe” and God as a Virus. Now this is a concept that comes from the field of digital physics, which keep in mind is all theoretical. It is based on the premise that the universe is pure mathematics at its base, every event that occurs can be thought of as a kind of computation. This could mean that the universe is a simulation, but that is not necessary for the idea to work.
The universe could itself be a giant computer, physics would be its software and matter, its hardware. Every movement of an electron would be a calculation in that vast supercomputer. In some models of the Digital Universe, matter itself is merely an instantiation of numbers.

The Jaunt by Stephen King is a short story set sometime around the year 2300. By this time humankind has begun the colonization of our solar system, this was made possible by a world changing piece of technology invented in the 80s, the Jaunt. The word “Jaunt” was first used in Alfred Bester’s 1956 science fiction novel, The Stars My Destination. In this novel humans have access to personal teleporters, teleporting was referred to as Jaunting in this novel. Stephen King takes the idea of the Jaunt and twists it into something, not merely dark but horrifying beyond comprehension.
The idea of teleportation has been common in science fiction for many decades, and the fears associated with it are not unexplored. Cronenberg's famous, The Fly explores the horror of a teleportation experiment gone wrong in which the main character's DNA is accidentally mixed with an insect. Teleporters have featured prominently in Star Trek since its original release in 1965, and it’s still never been fully clear if the teleporters allow for a consciousness stream of consciousness or if they are simply killing the original person and rematerializing an exact copy with copied memories in a different place.
The Jaunt also considers what becomes of the consciousness during teleportation but in a different way. To understand you have to learn how the Jaunt was first invented in this story, by a man named Victor Carune.

SPOILER ALERT. This video is for Fedaykin ONLY! Dune 2020 is happening. There has been an onslaught of new photos of the movie and the set. So far everything looks pretty epic and a whole new wave of excitement has been ignited for this movie and the Dune series as a whole. Before we get started if you wanted detailed breakdowns of Dune lore check out my Ultimate Guide to Dune Videos which can be found in the playlist on my channel front page.
So far I’ve covered the first 6 original Frank Herbert Dune Books and I’m currently working on the final video in the series. Many people are talking about Dune right now, which is great because I think it’s one of the greatest and certainly one of the most influential Science Fiction Sagas of all time. But Dune is also very complicated not only narratively often, but thematically as well. So in this video I will do my very best to break down some of the key themes of the series. First however, we have to briefly talk about the setting of the Dune Universe and its social and political structure!
Alright, So Dune takes place in the year 10190 AG. This is about 20,000 years in our future. The Epoch AG stands for After Guild. The guild is significant enough to be used as a marker of time because the guild provided a means for safe faster than light travel between worlds, which effectively unified the imperium. You’ve probably heard that the Dune universe runs on a substance called spice. That is true, the Planet Arrakis, also known as Dune is the only planet in the known universe where the spice Melange can be found. The spice is a substance that extends life, heightens awareness, in some it can lead to prescient vision, and it is also essential to space travel. Oh and one last thing, the spice is highly addictive to the point that once you become addicted you must continue taking it otherwise the withdrawals will kill you.
The Empire is maintained by a balance of power between the Emperor, The Noble Great Houses of the Landsraad, The Spacing Guild, and The Highly Secretively, Highly Manipulative, ever adapting Bene Gesserit Sisterhood. The Bene Gesserit sisterhood are key to the essential plot lines of Dune. For thousands of years they’ve been attempting to create The Kwisatz Haderach. The Kwisatz Haderach would be a man trained in their ways possessing all of their powers and more. But Ultimately their plans are thrown off when the Bene Gesserit Lady Jessica, who was given the task of bearing daughters only to the Duke Atreides, chose to give birth to a son instead. Jessica trained her son Paul in the Bene Gesserit way. The result was a Kwisatz Haderach born a generation too soon. Paul was not bound under Bene Gesserit conditioning, they could not control him. Inadvertently through their own hubris
