[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] Official reader community for those of us willing to be unpredictable. A community for readers, artists, filmmakers, writers, and independent thinkers exploring creativity, freedom, technology, and the future of human expression. Inspired by the themes of The Last Artist by Gregory S. Walsh, this group discusses books, films, art, ideas, and questions that resist easy answers. Not everything is meant to be understood by the system.

[close] 📚 No Hype, Just Great Books Welcome to the group for fantasy and sci-fi readers who are tired of wasting time on overhyped BookTok recommendations, influencer lists, and books that everyone says are amazing but somehow end up feeling... just okay. The goal is simple: share fantasy and sci-fi books and series that are actually worth the read. We all know Goodreads ratings can be misleading. Some people hand out five stars like candy, while others never rate anything above four. And if you're like me, you don't have enough friends on Goodreads whose tastes you trust to know what's genuinely worth investing 20, 40, or 100+ hours into. This group is built on real reader opinions, not marketing campaigns. While we'll absolutely talk about new releases, I'm especially interested in uncovering the oldies-but-goodies that aren't dominating social media right now. Many of the best fantasy and sci-fi books were published years, or even decades, ago and never show up on today's trending lists. If there's an older series that still holds up, a hidden gem nobody talks about anymore, or a classic that deserves more attention, we want to hear about it. ...this is the place to share the books that genuinely earned your recommendation. The best recommendations aren't always the newest, trendiest, or highest-rated books. Sometimes they're the series you stumbled across years ago and still can't stop thinking about. If a book made you stay up way too late, immediately buy the sequel, or sparked a months-long reading obsession, tell us about it. That's the kind of recommendation we're looking for. 🐉🚀📖 Popular doesn't always mean great. Let's find the books that are.
