Taste DNA maps the patterns behind what you love
Taste DNA is a plain-English taste profile. It names the specific qualities that keep showing up in the movies, TV shows, books, and games you rate highly.
Genre names the shelf. Taste DNA names what keeps pulling you back.
Two science-fiction stories can feel nothing alike. One may be philosophical and patient. Another may be fast, bright, and built around spectacle.
Taste DNA records the qualities that matter at that finer level, then uses them across movies, TV, books, and games.
Traits read the way you'd describe them to a friend
- Slow-burn

- Morally ambiguous characters

- Someone skilled and mostly alone, solving what nobody else can.
- Philosophical sci-fi

These are not personality types. They are working descriptions of patterns in what you rated. A useful profile also keeps the exceptions: what looked similar on paper but did not land for you.
Philosophical science fiction is not tied to a screen.
- Movie Arrival Language, time, and the cost of knowing.
- TV Devs Determinism turned into a human problem.
- Book The Left Hand of Darkness Identity and culture inside first contact.
- Game The Talos Principle Consciousness argued through puzzles.
