     This week a four pack of sci-fi with less than futuristic surroundings.      Scientist Sterling Peirce dreamed of a future where mankind no longer feared death, lived in harmony with all existence, and dedicated his life to the miracle elixir he created. Tragically, he died before his vision of a a peaceful future could come to pass. Years later, his son, Jaxxon Peirce, controls and manufactures a version of the elixir he calls Divinity.     A small group of people exiled to an island called The Burn depend on Ti-Jeanne. Meanwhile, she struggles against the destiny of her birth, fights for the love of the only available man, and fights against the repressive controlling grasp of Crack. A prequel to Nalo Hopkinson's debut novel, Brown Girl Begins. (Fun fact I forgot to mention in episode- Director Sharon Lewis played rapper Drake's mother on Degrassi TNG.)     Neuroscientists being testing of a remarkable breakthrough- connecting two brains directly. Lukas, researcher and generally bored of everything scumbag, is selected to be the first psychonaut- being injected into the head of an anonymous woman in a coma. Immediately, Lukas being making nonsensical stupid decisions and obsessing. Why does no one notice his extreme reactions and wild violent mood swings? They all too busy seeing the Vanishing Waves.     In the not-too-distant-future eugenics is the new way of life and everyone is sorted into valid and in-valid categories. Despite discrimination against the unmodified being technically illegal, it overnight became the only standard of worth for all mankind. Natural born Vincent Freeman is predicted to have the most ridiculous number of issues before an early death but he refuses to accept this. Finding a willing co-conspirator, Vincent sets out to follow his dream at Gattaca.     All that and Dave sees dead people, Tyler discovers a new fetish, and Kevin screams out from the void. Join us, won't you?   Episode 367- Lo-Fi Sci-Fi

What did you dream of doing when you were a teenager? Did you imagine yourself on the big screen? Were you going to be a world-famous author or blogger? Did you visualize yourself as an Olympian or in politics? My guests today are a mother & daughter duo who've been on a journey together to unearth their potential and purpose. In this episode, you are going to meet my childhood friend, Darlene Van Herten (Davidson) and her unbelievably talented daughter Hannah Chantee. This is the very first time I've had not only one guest, but two on The Couragecast. You are going to primarily hear from Hannah, but you can access the conversation I have with Darlene over on Patreon (www.patreon.com/thecouragecast). At three years old, Hannah knew that she was destined to bring joy to people through her personality. She began her acting career before most kids are even in kindergarten. Now at thirteen, Hannah has been in multiple movies (Sacrifice, Snow, Brown Girl Begins). And she isn't stopping there. In our conversation, we talk about how she has been able to navigate school, family life, work and her dreams of the future. This amazing young woman is wise beyond her years and she will inspire you to dream bigger for your life. She is truly a rising star. Connect with me on Instagram at @misscrispy and @the.couragecast and on Facebook. To hear the full episode with Darlene, head over to Patreon and become a supporter of The Couragecast.
