Still Lost: Tales From 2080

published 2026-03-15 | tags: #books #backlog #march #2026

Still Lost is a collection of short stories written by Sam A' Miller, better known as Sam O' Nella on YouTube. I've followed Sam for many years and enjoyed his funny infotainment. He hasn't been very active recently but randomly came out with a self punished book on Amazon and my current policy is that if a creator I like does a new and interesting thing that's outside their wheelhouse, I should give it a shot.

The stories take place in a near future sci-fi world in which aliens have invaded Earth and essentially turned it into a galactic nature preserve. That said the stories don't all directly connect to that theme and range from sci-fi allegories for drug use to making fun of academics.

Over all I like the quality of these stories. I thought they were fun and pulpy and frankly I think they could have been published by one of the indie sci-fi publishers -- I'm not sure why this was self published but I hope Miller keeps writing.
