3 Body Problem And A Changing World
Spoiler Alert – This post will talk about the first season of 3 Body Problem, the TV series, and will contain spoilers. If you haven’t yet watched this SciFi show, you might wish to skip this post.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I watched season 1 of 3 Body Problem, an expected-to-be 4 season SciFi show based on a trilogy of novels written by Cixin Liu.
It was innovative and exciting and it held our interest.
But it is also based on a series started in 2006. Our planet is changing quickly and the way we look at the story has changed.
At the end of season 1, the multitude of bugs in one wild space is given as a reason to hope. We’re told bugs are plentiful, despite humans trying to eradicate them. If bugs can survive, humans can survive also.
Except insects are no longer plentiful. Their numbers are in steep decline. We’re in an insect apocalypse. That’s one of the possible human-ending disasters now facing us that we must ‘fix’.
The hope we’re given in 3 Body Problem, the TV series, is based on a situation that no longer exists. That made me feel not-at-all optimistic and I suspect that was exact opposite reaction the creators intended.
If this TV series had released in 2006, however, I WOULD have felt hopeful. At that time, the impending insect apocalypse wasn’t commonly known. We DID feel insects were plentiful.
The world has changed. Our knowledge has changed. The average person has changed.
And that changes our reactions to works of art.
In 2006, I would have felt hopeful at the end of season 1. In 2024, however, I feel tremendous sadness.

Strike Zone
A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.
***
While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.
She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.
The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.
Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.
Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.
Desperately.
Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.
When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.
She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.
Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.
***
Strike Zone is a standalone, mistaken-identity, Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a cyborg warrior with a finely honed sense of honor, a human support being taking on her first dangerous mission, and an evil that threatens everyone in existence.

Fighting A Seemingly Hopeless Fight
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I, after quite a bit of discussion, have decided to continue donating a portion of book sales to coral reef restoration.
I know. I know. Saving the coral reefs looks like an impossible task. The heat around Florida and in the Caribbean bleached and killed a scary number of reefs this year. Those included the coral reefs restored with ‘heat-resistant’ baby corals.
The odds of the coral reefs surviving are low.
But the odds aren’t zero! We aren’t giving up on these wonderful creatures. We’ll continue to help them battle for their survival.

Strive For Forever
This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.
Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host body and is slowly draining her energy.
Soon, she’ll die.
Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.
Her plans do NOT include a smoldering-hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.
While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.
The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.
There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.
And she is in danger.
Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.
Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.

Preparing For Water Fluctuations
The planet is getting warmer.
Warm air holds more moisture. The air sucks up the water from the planet’s surface. When that happens, we get drought.
Then, eventually, it returns all that water to the planet. When that happens, we get flooding.
This will happen more and more. It will be feast or famine water-wise now and in the future.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are doing our best to prepare for these two possibilities.
We ensured flood damage was included in our house insurance.
We’re banking the house with soil this summer (the soil will be obtained for free from pool installation businesses and land developers), ensuring the land around our house slopes downward.
We will likely install more rain barrels to deal with possible droughts.
We’ll cover the tomato/bell pepper garden with leaf mulch to retain moisture.
We’re looking into ways to reduce our water consumption and to reuse the water we do utilize.
It is like a big real life science experiment. (smiles)

Muse Food – Woolly Bears
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this little guy in our back yard.
He’s a woolly bear caterpillar, the larval form of the isabella tiger moth, and he’s a fascinating creature.
He hatches from his egg in the fall.
Then, when winter and the snow comes, he freezes solid. His heart stops beating. His guts freeze. His blood freezes. And finally the rest of his body freezes.
In the spring, he thaws and goes about his usual business. (grins)
Yes, he’s proof beings can be completely frozen and survive. That doesn’t merely happen in SciFi Romances.
Oh, and yes, I am heartbreakingly aware climate change is going to make it very difficult for the woolly bears to survive. These warm temperatures aren’t good for these little creatures.

Grin And Bare Him
This cyborg will be the warrior his female requires.
Cyborgs are designed to fight. That is their primary purpose and 98.2356 percent of the manufactured warriors enjoy battle. Tremendously.

To gain access to his ship, Mohini is prepared to kiss, caress, seduce the muscular male. The mission is her focus. The pleasure she experiences will merely be a bonus.
A female has to do what a female has to do to save the universe.

Evolutionary Biology And Saving Seeds
I love many of the sciences. I follow the works of a gazillion scientists.
My favorite science is evolutionary biology – how lifeforms change over time to adapt to different conditions. This evolution is essential for survival. Our surroundings are changing. If we don’t change also, eventually we won’t survive where we currently are.
This is important. Especially now. Our climate is changing scarily quickly. Animals, plants, birds, insects, other lifeforms are struggling to match that fast pace.
Humans are attempting to help them. Experts are doing the bulk of that work. Some amateurs are trying also.
Then there’s me. (grins) I rank well below amateurs.
But I AM attempting to help by saving the seeds from the vegetables that survived the hotter, drier summer and managed to reproduce. The hope is…THEIR offspring will be better able to survive next summer.
Yes. (laughs) I’m doing the science.

Terraforming Other Planets
As climate change ramps up here on Earth, there has been increasing talk about terraforming other planets.
This is possible in the cyborg world. Our knowledge of planets, of the universe, of natural systems has expanded significantly. As has technology.
It is NOT possible today here on Earth.
Heck, we don’t even know how our own planet works. We are only recently uncovering what our Earth’s core might, MIGHT consist of. We seem to discover another climate feedback loop every dang day. The complexity and intricacies of natural systems on our own planet are beyond our current understanding.
We definitely don’t have the knowledge today to transform another planet to resemble Earth.

Evolution And Climate Change
If I was to choose one science that I most loved, one science that most influences my writing, it would be evolutionary biology, the way living things change over time and under pressure.
There have been few greater pressures than that of climate change. The world around us is changing almost scarily quickly as the average temperatures increase.
But there is good news! Recent studies by Andrew Hendry, Michael Kinnison, and other colleagues have shown that some living organisms have been evolving as quickly as climate change and other human pressures have been unfolding. (Read the entire article here – https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/02/a-new-database-reveals-how-much-humans-are-messing-with-evolution/ ).
Female elephants, for example, are evolving to be devoid of tusks, due to humans hunting elephants with large tusks. Because these female elephants don’t have tusks, they tend to eat different plants, which is changing the landscape around them.
Fish tend to be smaller because humans are less interested in harvesting smaller fish. Smaller fish also don’t retain heat as much as larger fish do, which is a benefit in our warming oceans.
Electric pylons are often covered with zinc, which is toxic to most plants. Tufted hairgrass has evolved to be immune to zinc.
This gives me great hope that life will continue to survive on this wonderful planet of ours. These lifeforms will look different than they do now but these differences will ensure species endure and that is such an awesome prospect!

Seizing Power
This cyborg believes he’s in control.
Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Other members might debate situations. He makes the ultimate decisions.
When a threat to Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.
The plan Power derives is simple—he’ll quickly quash the uprising and teach its leader a lesson the warrior will never forget.
NO ONE challenges his authority.
Eirene Ours might be called a cadet by Power but she is NOT his subordinate. She is the arrogant E Model’s genetic match.
For much of her mature lifespan, she has desired the male, yearning for his dark-eyed gaze, craving his sure hands, longing for his respect.
That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.
Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means — her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles — to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.
The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.
Power will believe her. Or he will die.

Welcome To November!
November is usually a cold month in my section of the universe. Usually. Climate change is changing that. Right now, there are still leaves on the trees and dandelions flowering in the backyard.
November, currently the eleventh month of the year, was originally the ninth month. Novem means nine in Latin.
This is a GREAT month for meteor showers. The Andromedids, the Leonids, the Alpha Monocerotids, the Northern Taurids, the Southern Taurids, the Phoenicids and sometimes the Orionids put on shows in the skies this month. If you’re outside at night and it is safe to do so, look upward. You might get lucky and see the flash of a meteor.
The big event for me this November is the release of B Free! Woot! B Free releases on the 16th. I think you’ll really enjoy this story. I love B and Quinn.
I’m sending celebratory thoughts to all my buddies born in this month. Those were fortunate days for the universe. (smiles) And I am wishing everyone a great November!

B Free
B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.
Or so he believes.
When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.
What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.
Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.
When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.
She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.
Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.

Small Tasks Count
In Baring Grudge, Taelyn, the heroine, blows up Humanoid Alliance space stations. That’s a huge, bold, courageous task to take on.
She also tells a confidence-battered girl she’s a bada$$. That’s a quieter, quicker task to accomplish. But it also matters. That declaration changed Jasny’s life a bit. It changed the world a bit.
Here on Earth, we’re going through some challenges.
There are folks who are doing BIG things. They’re auctioning their Olympic medals to pay for a child’s surgery. They’re dedicating all their spare time to saving species. They’re battling mobs to save lives during a pandemic.
But there are also people doing smaller things. They’re picking up a piece of garbage when they visit a nearby park. They’re bringing the homeless woman on the corner a cold bottle of water on a hot, smoky day. They’re donating a dollar to plant a tree. They’re sending their kids to school with extra superhero-themed masks to give to classmates.
All these things matter. All these things make the world a better place.
Don’t discount the small things. They can make a difference. YOU can make a difference.

Cyborgs And Mysterious Insects
When I was a kid, I was fascinated with insects. I would watch ants gather food, chase butterflies, move worms from drying sidewalks back to the safer-for-them grass. Much to my Awesome Mom’s dismay, I would also fill coffee tins with ants and beetles and store them under my bed. Yes, I was THAT kid. (grins)
I’m still fascinated with insects today. Our corner of the universe has been heating up recently and that means insects are migrating from the more southern regions. These are new-to-me insects and I’ve been enjoying looking at them and identifying them (photo recognition makes this SO much easier).
Insects exist in the cyborg world also. When we meet Rage in Releasing Rage, he and the other cyborgs are fighting the Mantidae, giant migrating praying mantis-resembling insects. There are insects on almost every planet the cyborgs explore, including Carine E, the home of Kralj from Dark Thoughts.
Insects are a part of our universe. I expect we’ll find alien insects on other planets. I’ll enjoy looking at those also, adding them to my mental collection.
