Life 3.0 is a must-read for anyone interested in space colonialization or AI written by the physicist, MIT professor and Future of Life Institute co-founder Max Tegmark.

It ponders when AGI will be developed, if at all, and how our co-existence will look like.
There's no way you haven't heard about this dystopia of Orwell. But isn't it fun how big tech corporations can gather approximately as much information about us as the Soviet Union has intel about it's citizens in 1984? Soon we will be just a button press away from living in an Orwellian dystopia.

Hollow Knight is an indie metroidvania game developed by Team Cherry. It offers rewarding (some would say even soulslike) combat, platforming challenges and above all a big and diverse world to explore. Hollow Knights worldbuilding is great even though it consists of scarce dialogs and hard-to-decipher lore. You could ask nothing more from a game - except for a sequel.
