So, I just finished watching Alien Planet, AKA "Satisfies my CGI Extraterrestrial Life Autism more than No Man's Sky ever could"

I'm in the mood for some of the same, but besides that and The Last Dragon, I can't seem to find anything that fits the bill. Any suggestions?

That recent movie, Arrival, wasn't actually half bad

You should read Expedition now that there's a serviceable PDF of it online and you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars for a copy.

Wayne D. Barlowe's "Expedition" the narrative art book that Alien Planet is based on. There are more environments, weirder creatures, and everything's greatly expanded on.

Try Nemo Ramjet's "all tomorrows" too, which is in a similar line of thinking. Both should be in the first few google results.

Expedition is the Wayne Barlowe book that Alien Planet is based on. Goes into a lot more depth on all the creatures, and has a bunch that the show doesn't get into. Also gives you a better sense of scale for how big everything is from Barlowe's illustrations, since they depict him in his little explorer-pod encountering the creatures instead of the drones who we have no idea how large they are. Like, you know Eosapiens, the intelligent aliens discovered at the very end of Alien Planet? They're a lot bigger than you think they are. Pic related isn't from the book, it's fanart, but it shows the scale.

Speculative evolution in general Y/N?

>>50990617
Speculative Evolution, Speculative society, Speculative technology, but really, Anything Sci-fi or Fantasy sounds good. I probably should have phrased the OP to say that I'm looking for /tg/ related docufictions as a whole.

This is a lovecraftian story told through blog entries:

The PDF is a story of comecy and horror that I like.

Well, there's the Speculative Evolution forum for all your SpecEvo needs. I suggest the Sheatheria and Serrina projects, both by the same guy, fascinating stuff in those. There's also, of course, the works of Dougal Dixon. Kind of the guy who started the whole SpecEvo thing. The one you'd probably like best is Man After Man, with is documentary-style narrative. After Man and The New Dinosaurs are written more like zoology books. Still cool stuff, but doesn't follow the weird animals as characters. Man After Man examines the future evolution of a world where all large animals have died off and as such environmentalists have had to resort to modifying the genome of the only available creature left to them: humans. So it charts the evolution of all these sub-sapient human-derived creatures over millions of years. Some of them re-evolve sapience. A lot don't. All of them look eerie and just a little too far into the Uncanny Valley. It's cool stuff.

OH FFUCK

Lucifer Niggerbastard, I haven't read that since I was a Freshman in highschool! Shit has it been 10 years already, that is an old ass story btw. Never finished reading it.

>>50992569
The ballad of Lucifer Niggerbastard is one of the greatest pieces of early 4chan literature. Not sure if this is the original tale of Niggerbastard or a sequel.

I don't know what to think. Reading it was like an endurance test except you literally can't stop or look away. Having come to the end of it I am glad it's over because it's awful, but I want more.

This story has broken me /tg/. I will never be the same.

I remember the Soviet Union falling. This will be the 2nd great Empire I will witness die. I always assumed the next one to implode would be China but I don't give that more than 50 years tops so I might just about be able to watch 3.

Gyrosrpinter was the shit.

I loved that docu when I was a kid, it fascinated me. Sure it's pretty autistic, but it made me start to appreciate alternate scifi settings.

Also, Wayne Barlowe is GOAT.
