Shared as a fan-made teaser for Blindsight in threads about the novel or alien intelligence.
A five-minute CG sci-fi short film by Danil Krivoruchko, based on Peter Watts's novel Blindsight. It follows a revived crew member recalling a first contact mission, and took four years to make with artists worldwide.
“Some fans of the book put together a short teaser trailer for it” (HN, 2021)
In addition to all the other recommendations, I recommend Blindsight. You can buy it where all good books are sold, or the author also gives it away on his website ( [link] ) but considers it good form to send a donation his way if you enjoy it. Some fans of the book put together a short teaser trailer for it: [this video]
[this video] This is notably also adored by Watts [link] In case you want to fall down into the rabbit hole then [link] Now I just wish that some serious producer like Nolan would get a hint.
There's a fan-made short film/trailer for Blindsight : [this video] Also, "just an AI probe" and "It would be amazing" in the context of Blindsight ... <insert mad laughter>.
