holocube

One wall was a huge holo cube displaying Geneva's table of organization, a spidery orange pyramid with tens of thousands of names connected by lines, from the mayor at the top to the “corridor security” people at the base.

1976, Joe Haldeman, The Forever War, New York: Ballantine Books, page 113:

He snapped a holo-cube into the projector and switched on. I gasped and shrank back in my seat as a great crustacean sprang into being in front of me, blind, chitinous, rust-red, and malevolent.

1978, Charles Sheffield, “The Deimos Plague”, in Stellar Science Fiction Stories, n 4, New York: Del Rey, p 146

And on a little table beside the bed, he found a holocube with a tiny picture of a woman wearing a yellow dress in it. When he moved the ’cube, the woman waved at him and laughed.

1990, Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, volume 79, page 113:

Not a cassette, not an infodisk, not a holocube, but an actual book, with a cover and binding and pages.
Used in Flashback: The Quest for Identity (video game), Star Wars, Tyrian, and Spider-Man (1994 TV series).

1992, Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg, The Positronic Man, New York: Doubleday, p 25

cereology

From Ceres (“Roman goddess of agriculture”) + -ology.

suffix

[…] the array of experts who have collaborated to found the Centre for Crop Circle Studies and co-author The Crop Circle Enigma, the parents of cereology […]

1990 October–December, New Scientist, volume 128, London: New Science Publications, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 61:

The result of all this has been to throw the world of cereology into a state of total confusion. All its previous certainties have been demolished.

1991, “Editorial notes”, in The Cereologist: The Journal for Crop Circles Studies, Shepton Mallet, Somerset: The Cereologist, OCLC 877349523, page 5; quoted in Gordon Stein, “Crop Circles”, in The Encyclopedia of the Paranormal, Amherst, N.Y.: Prometheus Books, 1996, ISBN 978-1-57392-021-6, page 185, column 1

Saucer enthusiasts argued that the cropland patterns marked the landing spots of UFOs bearing visitors from space. Believers in the paranormal claimed the circles radiated mysterious energy forces. The patterns spawned a kind of intellectual cottage industry: no fewer than 35 Britons claim to be experts on the phenomenon. A new scientific discipline, cereology, emerged. It is practiced by members of the Circles Effect Research Unit, a privately funded group headed by Wiltshire-based physicist Terence Meaden.

1991 September 23, Leon Jaroff, “It happens in the best circles”, in Time, archived from the original on 2016-11-11:

The world needed to be educated about the mysteries of cereology, and that knowledge base had not been disseminated widely enough for my more "unusual" theories to be accepted, or at least considered, with reason and open-mindedness.

2003, Colin Andrews, Stephen J. Spignesi, “The Path”, in Crop Circles: Signs of Contact, Franklin Lakes, N.J.: New Page Books, →ISBN, page 29, column 1:

The investigation, or practice, of creating crop circles.

Cytherean

/ˌsɪ.ðəˈɹi.ən/

From Cythera, from Ancient Greek Κύθηρα (Kúthēra) + -an.

This view, that we see only a Cytherean cloud-canopy, has been confirmed by M. Landerer's observation of the non-polarised character of the light reflected by the crescent Venus; [...]

1893, Agnes M. Clerke, A Popular History of Astronomy During the Nineteenth Century, page 314:

But we should hesitate in assuming that the cytherean skies are usually overcast, for the reason that if the greater heat stimulates evaporation, the converse process of precipitation would be slackened for the same reason.

1898, E. M. Antoniadi, “Notes on the Rotation Period of Venus”, in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 63, page 319:

long before we landed spacecraft on Venus scientists deduced the temperature of the cytherean surface by studying Venus's radio emission.

1989, Jay M. Pasachoff, Astronomy, from the earth to the universe, 5, page 171:

In fact, Soviet astronomers once thought that the thick, dense Cytherean atmosphere might not let any sunlight reach the surface.

(reflexive) Hir, themselves; gender-neutral third-person singular object of a verb or preposition that also appears as the subject, coordinate with gendered himself and herself.

Godzilla

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-Godzilla.wav

From Japanese ゴジラ (Gojira), blend created for the movie from the words ゴリラ (gorira, “gorilla”) and 鯨 (kujira, “whale”).
The phonetic shift from Goji- to Godzi- was probably to imply relation to the word God.

What other television show would feature a gorgeously designed sequence where a horrifically mutated Pierre and Marie Curie, their bodies swollen to Godzilla-like proportions from prolonged exposure to the radiation that would eventually kill them, destroy an Asian city with their bare hands like vengeance-crazed monster-Gods?

2012 May 20, Nathan Rabin, “TV: Review: THE SIMPSONS (CLASSIC): “Marge Gets A Job” (season 4, episode 7; originally aired 11/05/1992)”, in The Onion AV Club:

Then I started jacking up the voltage, and modified the thing with a double-polarity field somewhat similar to the molecular motion field except that it works on a sub-nucleonic level. As a result, about half of the lead fed into the chamber became contraterrene lead! The atoms just turned themselves inside out, so to speak, giving us an atom with positrons circling a negatively charged nucleus.

They conclude that the "active ingredient" in bananadine is the psychic suggestibility of the user in the proper setting.

1967, The American Journal of Psychiatry:

The smoking of dried scrapings from the inner portion of banana peel (bananadine or mellow yellow) has received the most national publicity.

1970, Oliver Erasmus Byrd, Medical readings on drug abuse:

The most embarrassing and ludicrous event seldom recalled in the professional literature is the story of "bananadine" or "mellow yellow," […]

holodeck

From holo- + deck, coined in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation.

[…] the fact that science-fiction film, and indeed much — if not most — contemporary film, has become a technology on the way to somewhere else, whether that goal turns out to be immersive, interactive, or some holodeck-style fusion of the two.

1999, Annette Kuhn, Alien Zone II: The Spaces of Science-fiction Cinema:

Computer music might someday replace acoustic music made by human beings, but that time is far away, waiting either for Holodecks to be perfected or for a generation of listeners to arrive who are too busy and too uninvolved with their ambient surroundings to want to relate to them[.]

1999 June, Al Stevens, “Jukebox: Covering the Basses”, in Dr. Dobb's Journal, volume 24, number 6, San Francisco, Calif.: Miller Freeman, Inc., →ISSN, page 115:

Building a holodeck will require breakthroughs in sensors, robotics, and mechanical interfaces […]

2002, Kay M Stanney, Handbook of virtual environments:

In such a world, would one want to be hooked up to a pleasure machine or live on a holodeck?

2007, Fritz Allhoff, Patrick Lin, James Moor, Nanoethics:

cyberbook

The reader, the cyberbook, costs, say, $200. The wafers cost pennies. The reader, the human, is thus ever after buying a handful of wafers instead of books […]

1972, John Wood Campbell, Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact:

Bookshelves ran up to the ceiling along two walls, and a third wall had shelves full of video disks and cyberbook chips […]

Probably the day is not far off when a three-dimensional cyberbook can begin to effectively chart this web of contacts […]

2005, Michael A Winkelman, Marriage relationships in Tudor political drama:

(science fiction) A digital or electronic equivalent of a book.


cyberdeck

From cyber- + deck, coined by American-Canadian speculative fiction writer William Gibson in 1984 in his novel Neuromancer.

More than twelve hours had passed since the decker had touched the cyberdeck keyboard.

1991, Robert N Charrette, John Zeleznik, Joel Biske, Find Your Own Truth:

...then the interface that provides the experience — say, a cyberdeck — becomes a quantifiable metric of human experience as well as a commodity.

2002, Veronica Hollinger, Joan Gordon, Edging Into the Future:

...people fused either temporarily or permanently with machinery (by brain implants, by jacking in to the cyberdeck, etc.)...

2003, Karen Haber, Exploring the Matrix:

...a glove with silver metallic weaving and a black cord that was connected to his cyberdeck.

(science fiction) A piece of equipment that can be temporarily connected to the user's brain as an interface to cyberspace.
