Books Five Books About Five SFF Satires of Modern Tech Culture Let’s take a look at some of the funniest, sharpest takes on our tech overlords… By Caitlin Rozakis | Published on May 19, 2026 Comment 0 Share New Share Speculative fiction has always had a love/hate relationship with technology; whether it’s the “don’t play God” message of Frankenstein or the dehumanization of industrialization depicted in Metropolis, some of the earliest works in the genre have turned a skeptical eye on emerging tech. But technology is one thing; tech culture is something more specific. The rise of the tech bro with his (and let’s be honest, it’s almost always his) “move fast and break things” philosophy has collided with late-stage capitalism’s demand for numbers that multiply in size every quarter to create a uniquely terrible corporate hellscape. And it’s one full of fantastical terms, from angel investors to vampire capitalists to unicorn startups. The jokes practically write themselves. I spent the better part of fifteen years working for a series of tech startups (some better, some worse). So it’s with a certain “it’s funny because it’s true” glee that I inhale stories that take the most fantastical elements and apply them to the modern workplace. It’s part of why I wrote Startup Hell, in which an employee at a terrible tech startup walks into her boss’s office to find him face down on the desk, dead, and the demon he summoned still trapped in the circle. She’s a junior salesperson, he’s a junior salesdemon, they both have monthly quotas to meet. Which is worse—all the forces of hell, or her ambitious tech bro CEO? (I’ll give you one guess.) The hallmarks of modern tech companies—from hustle culture to the seemingly mandatory foosball tables and weird free snacks to touchy-feely-tone deaf HR—are ripe for satire. Let’s take a look at some of the funniest, sharpest takes on our tech overlords. Starter Villain by John Scalzi Charlie is normal, boring, and broke when he unexpectedly inherits a vast supervillain business. Now he’s dealing with pro-union dolphins, intelligent talking cats, and some really terrifying henchpeople… and those are the folks on his side. Featuring the single funniest take on a TED talk/pitch contest imaginable, this book takes on multinational corporations and venture capitalists as the real supervillains. It’s no surprise and only the mildest of spoilers that there’s a global conspiracy of businessmen working together to profit off world tragedies while stabbing each other in the back. (Am I still describing fiction? I don’t feel like I’m describing fiction.) Don’t worry, there are still giant laser death rays. Sourdough, or Lois and Her Adventures in the Underground Market by Robin Sloan Just about every tech worker seems to dream at some point of leaving coding behind for something more tangible. Lois Clary is nearly killing herself with the grind of working for a San Francisco robotics company. That is, until she ends up the inadvertent caretaker of a sourdough starter that’s more than it appears. It requires music to grow right. It seems to express opinions. It murders other sourdough starters. Modern tech companies want to grow regardless of what that turns them into, and Lois comes from a tech background that demands supporting that growth. Even if not everything should continue growing. This one puts the “culture” in tech culture. Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots Even supervillains need office help. Anna works for a temp agency for villains, doing data entry. Is it really so much worse than the same work for a tobacco or coal company? Except something goes wrong and she gets hurt on the job by a superhero. Instead of workman’s comp, all Anna gets is layoff via fruit basket and a deep need for some way to both make a living and maybe take that hero down. But Anna doesn’t have superpowers, unless you include a stubborn interest in sifting through data, pulling together insights, and making a really compelling Powerpoint. When she discovers a supervillain who actually values these skills, she has the opportunity to start controlling the narrative that declares who’s a hero and who’s a villain. This book understands the importance of social media, marketing, and most of all—data analysis. Several People Are Typing by Calvin Kasulke Does the mere sound of a Slack notification haunt your dreams? Welcome to Gerald’s nightmare. This epistolary novel is told entirely in the form of Slack threads. Poor Gerald, who works for a PR firm, has somehow gotten uploaded into the company’s internal Slack channels. On the minus side, his body is abandoned and drooling on itself and his coworkers are deeply resentful that he’s been allowed to work from home all the time. On the plus, his productivity metrics are higher than ever before. He needs to figure out how to remove his ghost from the machine, yes, but he also needs to help write a press release for a client whose dog food company is being accused of poisoning Pomeranians, wrangle coworkers who are increasingly distracted by the howling of disembodied wolves, and deal with a CEO whose biggest concern is who keeps moving his office furniture. Who’s going to notice he no longer inhabits his body as long as his deliverables keep arriving? A delightfully absurd take on modern office culture. Red Team Blues by Cory Doctorow Forensic accounting isn’t going to sound exciting to most people, but it can be a good way to make some powerful folks awfully angry. In this extremely-near-future thriller, Martin Hench has been around Silicon Valley to know where a lot of the bodies are buried. So when a cryptocurrency scheme turns deadly, he’s the one brought in to play defender. Along the way, we’re treated to Doctorow’s punk take on all things tech bro, from the arc of a successful startup to the issues surrounding crypto to the impact of the tech boom on the unhoused folks of San Francisco.[end-mark] Buy the Book Startup Hell Caitlin Rozakis Buy Book Startup Hell Caitlin Rozakis Buy this book from: AmazonBarnes and NobleiBooksIndieBoundTarget The post Five SFF Satires of Modern Tech Culture appeared first on Reactor.

News Ella Enchanted Disney+ Is Developing an Ella Enchanted Series; Anne Hathaway Is Involved Hathaway starred in the movie adaptation of the book that came out over 20 years ago By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on May 18, 2026 Screenshot: Disney Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Disney Disney is once again adapting the book Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. According to Deadline, Disney+ has signed off on putting a series adaptation of the story into development. This isn’t the first time, of course, that Levine’s novel has made its way to the screen. Back in 2004, Disney released a musical film of the same name that starred Anne Hathaway as the titular Ella. In the movie, the not-so-nice fairy godmother, Lucinda Perriwether, curses Ella at birth, requiring her to obey anyone who gives her a command. When she is a teenager, Ella goes on a quest to find Lucinda and reverse the curse and falls in love along the way. Hathaway will be involved in the new Disney+ project as well; she’ll be an executive producer, with Ilana Wolpert (Anyone But You, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) writing and Beth Schwartz (Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Dead Boy Detectives) serving as showrunner. Given those involved, it seems likely that the the series will have musical numbers as well. Deadline also reports, however, that the series will have more of a “coming-of-age feel with a boarding school setting,” which differs from the movie adaptation. Part of Levine’s novel takes place at a boarding school (the movie does not), suggesting they may include more from that section of the book while also leaning a bit more into the school vibes. The project is still in its early stages of development, so no news yet on who will star in the Ella Enchanted series or if/when the show will premiere on Disney+.

Movies & TV Outlander The Outlander Series Finale Brings Jamie and Claire’s Love Story Full Circle Love is a time loop in a finale that puts new meaning into “meant to be.” By Natalie Zutter | Published on May 18, 2026 Comment 0 Share New Share “Oh,” I said in a tiny voice when Raya Yarbrough’s voice came back on my TV screen, and I burst into tears as her original rendition of “The Skye Boat Song” carried us into the Outlander series finale. Despite how movingly the late Sinead O’Connor’s take on the Outlander theme song communicated the gravitas of aging while ending on a high note, it was still thrilling to be transported back to how we felt in the first season. There was the whole unknown arc of Claire and Jamie’s epic love story ahead of us, rather than the fond and complicated memory of it behind us. The series finale plays on that tension, as the modern nurse-turned-doctor and her Highlander-turned-printer/landowner/soldier look back on all they’ve built and face a potential ending, while begging the universe for just a little more time. Aside from some sentimental creative choices that verged on overly sappy, it’s a satisfying conclusion to the series and an elegant homage to Diana Gabaldon’s novels. Spoilers for Outlander “And the World Was All Around Us” Opening the extra-long episode on Jamie writing out his last will and testament was a lovely way to check back in with his children and grandchildren, in a way that was somewhat undercut by then wasting precious screentime on repeating various goodbyes that were already covered in previous episodes regarding whether Jamie would die on King’s Mountain. Or anyone else—it was a little hard to take seriously the women sending their husbands off to battle when we have a pretty good sense that there’s only one fighter whose fate we should be worried about. Despite all of Claire’s warnings to blackmailing abolitionist time traveling spy Ezekiel Richardson in the penultimate episode “Pharos”—that people like them could not change the past, no matter how hard they tried—I still kept expecting her insistence to join the battle at King’s Mountain to be the self-fulfilling prophecy that makes Frank’s book true. Would it be her distraction that led to Jamie being mortally wounded? Would she instead die? Image: Starz But no, they make it through the battle with minimal loss of life (RIP Hiram Crombie, you fucked around and found out), and it is a triumphant, dare we say cocky, James Fraser standing on the peak of King’s Mountain who gleefully demands Major Ferguson’s surrender, only to get shot in the heart. The moment is shocking because of how it falls outside the rules of battle; Ferguson should not be fighting anymore, should be conducting himself with honor. Jamie, stunned at making it through, has let his guard down; he deserves better than this coward’s killing shot. And there’s no way that Claire, battle surgeon extraordinaire, can patch him up in time on the top of a mountain, her bag of supplies having fallen away in the madness. So all she can do is forgive him and hold him as the light goes out of his eyes.  What’s interesting is Claire’s insistence on staying beside his body. That if she leaves, if she lets him out of his sight, then she’ll have to accept that she’s never going to see him again. But if she holds on to him, it freezes them in a morbid tableau. Image: Starz If the series finale had not come full-circle to ghost!Jamie standing outside of Claire’s window in Inverness, it would have been incredibly disappointing. I’ve seen some theories that this was Jamie sort of astral-projecting during his near-death experience at Culloden; you could also argue that this is his spirit in the 24 hours post-King’s Mountain, especially with his earlier comments about lingering in purgatory if Claire didn’t have them say a proper Mass for his soul. Regardless of whether this was the young Jamie who had just sent pregnant Claire back through the stones, or the one who lived to see his grandchildren, it’s equally poetic either way to follow his ghost from the window to Craigh na Dun—to touch the stones but not go through—to plant the forget-me-nots that would draw Claire to the stones the following morning, and set all of this into motion. The series admirably stuck to its narrative guns in never retconning Jamie’s inability to travel through the stones. But this little purgatorial loophole created a lovely paradox that reaffirms the core of Jamie and Claire’s love: no matter how time or distance strands them from one another, each period of separation will only last so long, and they will always find their way home to each other. Image: Starz Now, Claire bringing Jamie back and coming fully into her white-haired La Dame Blanche power was a wee bit cheesy. Balfe sells Claire’s guttural horror and denial; I almost believed that she was laying down next to him to die, if not for the dozen-plus dependents waiting for her back at Frasers Ridge. In post-finale interviews, the stars have spoken to the supposed ambiguity of the ending, but it seems clear to me that they both come back to life with the same breath. What undercuts this big moment for me is how it fits around the rest of the season’s tragic deaths. It is rather bizarre that the Frasers basically bookended this last season by losing two of their adult children in random and awful ways: discovering that Faith was literally on her way to find them when she was brutally murdered, and then watching Fergus die in the print shop fire. To juxtapose those senseless losses with Claire intentionally bringing Jamie back feels odd. I don’t know if the books address such things (though of course in the books it was Henri-Christian, not Fergus, who perished), but it’s hard to glean any potential meaning in this medium. Image: Starz Bravo for book readers not spoiling how Tell the Bees That I Am Gone resolves, though there was the heightening of stakes between Jamie’s knee getting injured (ahh, “James Fraser falls”) and being shot in the actual heart. All season the show deftly handled these stakes, interweaving it with Jamie’s resentment over Frank, which slowly morphed into respect for the other man preparing Bree to live in the past, and Claire and Jamie himself for how to save him; and making peace with his respective jealousies between Claire’s other two husbands. For a warrior who has been through so much over the past eight seasons, Jamie grew even a little more in these final episodes. Knowing that there is one Outlander novel to come (no publication date yet, though), it makes sense to end their story here. That final ragged inhale presages the events of Blessing for a Warrior Going Out, whatever they may be. We could still lose Jamie, or Claire, or both; they may not live much longer than King’s Mountain, for all we know, but at least we got to see them triumph over time and mortality one more time. Image: Starz Gemstones and Forget-Me-Nots Why show that Fannie can time travel if you’re not going to do anything with it? Her grandparents don’t even know yet. My assumption is some sort of spinoff, since Bree and Roger are committed to staying in the past if Davy can’t travel through the stones. I did love the conversation with William last episode about how most of Outlander’s characters have been raised by two daddies and how that’s a very good thing. Claire writing down their life’s story is cheesy as a TV trope that’s been done too many times before to have real resonance. (I half-expected to see Jamie wearing Lauren Graham’s beatific smile from Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life: “I’m going to call it The Outlander.” “Drop the The. It sounds cleaner.”) But for her character, and for their impossible love story? It makes a hell of a lot of sense. The post-credit scene was a bit too earnest for my tastes, with Gabaldon carting Claire’s diary around to her first book signing as “a wee bit of inspiration.” But then I read how the entire audience in the store (which was recreated as her local bookstore The Poisoned Pen from 1991!) was all the crew on the show, and I mostly came around on it. Still, I was expecting the old woman in the signing line to be Fannie time-traveling, or one of her descendants. Did the Outlander series finale live up to your expectations?[end-mark] The post The <i>Outlander</i> Series Finale Brings Jamie and Claire’s Love Story Full Circle appeared first on Reactor.

Column Babylon 5 Rewatch Babylon 5 Rewatch: “The Ragged Edge” Garibaldi’s alcohol problem complicates an investigation, and G’Kar is surprised to find himself a revered religious figure… By Keith R.A. DeCandido | Published on May 18, 2026 Credit: Warner Bros. Television Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Warner Bros. Television “The Ragged Edge”Written by J. Michael StaczynskiDirected by John CopelandSeason 5, Episode 12Production episode 513Original air date: April 8, 1998 It was the dawn of the third age… Sheridan is furiously signing copies of treaties for the member worlds of the IA. Unfortunately, the conference room is empty: the representatives of the IA member worlds are boycotting all meetings until their shipping lines’ security can be guaranteed. We cut to an Earth ship, Red Star 9, which is being attacked and destroyed, but a lifepod ejects with the pilot. Mollari and G’Kar return from Centauri Prime. G’Kar is confused as to why he’s receiving so much positive attention from his fellow Narns. They are bowing to him and treating him with an impressive reverence. Ta’Lon is awaiting him at his cabin, and he explains what’s going on as they catch up: concern over his traveling to Centauri Prime led to Narns on the station breaking into his quarters and taking possession of his (unfinished) book. And then someone—Ta’Lon isn’t sure who—had it printed. The Book of G’Kar has become a major bestseller on Narn, outstripping even The Book of G’Quan. G’Kar is mortified, both because it was done without his permission and because the book isn’t even finished yet. Garibaldi is awakened out of a sound sleep by Allan, who wants to know why he hasn’t shown up for their meeting. Garibaldi says he slept through his alarm, though the empty booze bottle next to his bed indicates another reason. The Rangers found the wreckage of Red Star 9, including that a lifepod is missing, which means the possibility of a witness to these attacks for the first time. However, the ship is believed to have been smuggling illegal goods for the Drazi, so neither Earth nor Drazi are likely to help with the investigation. Garibaldi, however, has a contact on the Drazi homeworld who can probably help. Sheridan authorizes him to head there, and says to take Franklin with him as backup. Garibaldi, however, says that his contact only knows Garibaldi—if someone he doesn’t know is with him, the whole thing will go sideways. So Garibaldi goes alone, after reassuring Franklin that this isn’t personal, they’re both still good friends, it’s purely a professional issue with the contact. G’Kar, accompanied by an unwelcome entourage of Narn fangoobers, meets with Mollari in the Zocalo. The latter is highly amused by G’Kar’s new status as a celebrity. Credit: Warner Bros. Television Garibaldi arrives on Drazi and meets his contact, Tafiq Azir, at his hotel room. They seem to be old friends, and there is absolutely nothing in his demeanor that indicates that he’d have a problem with Franklin coming along for the ride. Azir says the pilot is in hiding and being sought out by the Drazi government, but Azir can set up a meet. He and Garibaldi share a drink or twelve. Garibaldi passes out, and Azir goes off to set up the meet. However, he’s shot right outside the door to Garibaldi’s room. Garibaldi wakes up slowly, and wonders where Azir is. He goes out into the hall to see a Drazi standing over Azir. They get into a fight, and Garibaldi tosses the Drazi over the balcony to fall to his death on the street. He then checks on Azir, who dies in Garibaldi’s arms. Going downstairs to meet with the pilot, Garibaldi is instead attacked by a group of hooded people, who have already killed the pilot. The Drazi authorities show up and the hooded figures beat a hasty retreat—as does a badly bruised Garibaldi, who manages to get a signal to B5 and asks Delenn to send a White Star to pick him up. Ta’Lon talks G’Kar into speaking to the fangoobers who are assembled outside his quarters. G’Kar himself has no desire to lead or to teach, but Ta’Lon believes he has important things to convey to his fellow Narns. G’Kar reluctantly agrees and invites the fangoobers into his quarters. One of the things G’Kar says is that Narn must move past their distrust of other species. A fangoober points out that, early in the book, G’Kar says that the Centauri can’t be trusted and that Narns can only trust themselves. G’Kar points out that that was early in the book, and time has changed that particular occasion. (This is what happens when people publish first drafts…) G’Kar demonstrates why fundamentalism toward his text is a bad idea, as he tells the fangoober to put his face directly into the book—and then G’Kar closes the book violently on his nose, by way of demonstrating that implicitly trusting all Narns isn’t what should be read from that text. Garibaldi reports to Sheridan, Delenn, Franklin, and G’Kar about what happened on Drazi. He got a small gold disc off one of his attackers, but he doesn’t recognize it. He does know that the ones who attacked him weren’t Drazi, and they were waiting for Garibaldi specifically. They have a leak. Mollari finally shows up, apologizing for being late, and also recognizes the disc as being a button that is worn by Centauri palace guards. When Mollari asks where Garibaldi got it, he lies and says he got it from a vendor in the Zocalo. Mollari says he got ripped off, as it’s not actually worth anything. Everyone else plays along, and once Mollari is no longer in the room, G’Kar informs them of the attempt on Mollari’s life back on Centauri Prime. If he knows that his people have betrayed the IA, it could endanger his life. Franklin meets with Sheridan saying he’s been given a job offer. Dr. Kyle—who had Franklin’s job on B5 before he was transferred to Earth—is retiring as head of Xenobiological Research and wishes Franklin to replace him. Franklin has agreed, especially this will make it easier for him to catalogue the medical data for all IA worlds. We close with Garibaldi passed out drunk in bed. Get the hell out of our galaxy! Sheridan laments that nobody told him how much of the job of president would involve paperwork. Credit: Warner Bros. Television The household god of frustration. Garibaldi’s alcoholism is directly responsible for his friend’s death. If you value your lives, be somewhere else. Delenn works primarily as Ranger One here, collecting their report on the destruction of Red Star 9 and rescuing Garibaldi from Drazi. In the glorious days of the Centauri Republic… Mollari laments that he used to look forward to returning home to Centauri Prime and dread going to B5, and now it’s the other way around. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free. G’Kar is now a bestselling author and unwilling celebrity authority figure, complete with devoted fan base. We live for the one, we die for the one. The Rangers are the ones who find Red Star 9’s wreckage, thus setting the entire plot in motion. Welcome aboard. Back from “Point of No Return” is Marshall Teague as Ta’Lon; he’ll be back in “Objects at Rest.” John Castellanos plays Azir while Mirron E. Willis plays the pilot. Trivial matters. Kyle appeared in “The Gathering,” and was transferred to Earth some time between then and “Midnight on the Firing Line.” While the pilot movie was his only appearance, he’s been mentioned a few times since. Ta’Lon references the speech he gave to G’Kar to convince him to stay on B5 in “A Day in the Strife.” Mollari was almost assassinated on Centauri Prime in “In the Kingdom of the Blind.” G’Kar started writing his book in “Messages from Earth” when he was in the brig after assaulting Vir and Mollari in “Dust to Dust” and learning that Mollari has been working with Morden and his “associates.” Not surprising, therefore, that the early part of the book includes passages about not trusting the Centauri… The echoes of all of our conversations. “I worry, Ta’Lon, that my shadow may become greater than the message.” “If that happens, I give you my word that I will personally kill you.” “And this is supposed to put my mind at ease?” —G’Kar worried about the future, and Ta’Lon not helping. Credit: Warner Bros. Television The name of the place is Babylon 5. “As Mr. Garibaldi says, I think I’ll wait for the movie.” It’s weird, there’s nothing I can point to in this episode and say, “This is bad.” Indeed, there’s a lot of good here, from the serious damage being done by Garibaldi’s alcoholism to G’Kar dealing with his newly acquired fan base. But I’m also having a hard time dredging up any enthusiasm for the episode. Having said that, the episode is definitely well written. I particularly like the way Garibaldi is handling his alcoholism—or, rather, not handling it, but ignoring it and hoping it will go away. He also very carefully keeps Franklin at arm’s length. His excuse that Azir would balk at a person he doesn’t know being there sounds completely convincing, but it’s also total bullshit. (Credit to John Castellanos, by the way, who does an excellent job as Azir.) Garibaldi doesn’t want Franklin, a fellow addict and also a physician, to get too close for fear that Franklin will recognize that he’s fallen off the wagon the way Garibaldi saw that Franklin had succumbed to stim addiction in the past. Watching G’Kar get groupies is a delight. It’s also good to see Marshall Teague back as Ta’Lon and dispensing wisdom as he has in prior appearances. Ta’Lon’s one of those characters I wish we’d seen more of, but what we have seen has been excellent. And the Centauri plot moves forward, as our heroes finally learn who’s responsible for the attacks on IA ships. Still, the episode feels like inconsequential filler, even though it’s nothing like that at all. I had high hopes that things would feel better once the Byron story had come to a merciful end and stopped sucking all the air out of the show. Maybe it’s the direction from John Copeland; it’s only his second time ever in the director’s chair, following the similarly lackluster “Endgame.” Next week: “The Corps is Mother, the Corps is Father.”[end-mark] The post <i>Babylon 5</i> Rewatch: “The Ragged Edge” appeared first on Reactor.

News Lanterns Lanterns Trailer Shows Off Laura Linney, Superpowers, and Super Attitude We will refrain from making too many “It’s not easy being green” jokes while this show is on By Molly Templeton | Published on May 18, 2026 Screenshot: HBO Max Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: HBO Max Much has been made of the grounded, serious-business detective vibes of the upcoming DC Studios series Lanterns, which pairs a jaded Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) with newbie Green Lantern Corps recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre). So, naturally, the new trailer provides a bit of the opposite: glowing green stuff. Hal uses his powers to create a shield against some kind of space laser (and a more personal shield against a lot of bullets); he also uses them to manifest a dollar bill for a jukebox. Did he just give John a little speech about knowing when to use said powers, then turn around and counterfeit money? Certainly not. (Certainly so.) This trailer would like you to know that Lanterns has some attitude problems among its mysteries and multiple timelines. It’s a classic setup—the experienced elder faced with a brash young upstart who thinks he can do everything better—but with a whole lot of extra green. At the trailer’s end, after the question “Are you afraid?” is asked a million times, John tells a mysterious Laura Linney, “I’ll do this better than he’s ever done it before.” Linney, looking stern, says, “Then go and get it, John Stewart.” This seems not very partner-like! Linney’s character has not been named; her casting was announced pretty much simultaneously with the trailer’s release. But also: Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) is here, possibly in jail, looking quite grumpy. We get a quick look at Garret Dillahunt, whose character William Macon has been described as a “modern cowboy.” And Kelly Macdonald plays the sheriff in the small Nebraska town where a shooting has caught Hal’s interest. We also get to see Hal’s Green Lantern getup, and some shots of a younger Hal, who young John watched on TV. Never meet your heroes, right? A lot of this trailer is focused on Pierre who, as John Stewart says he was “raised fearless,” does a lot of dangerous, possibly terrifying things over the course of these two minutes. If you have any doubts about this series, I strongly suggest you go watch Rebel Ridge, which will show you that Pierre can carry a whole movie by himself, and can convincingly do a lot of action. (It’s also just a very good movie.) Lanterns comes from showrunner Chris Mundy (True Detective, Ozark) and premieres on HBO Max on August 16.[end-mark] The post <i>Lanterns</i> Trailer Shows Off Laura Linney, Superpowers, and Super Attitude appeared first on Reactor.
