Registered Office: 176 Portland Road, Jesmond, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE2 1DJ Front cover design: Vincent Docherty 2/2014 Hugo Awards Ceremony Good Evening Welcome to the 2014 Hugo Awards Ceremony, being held as part of the 72nd World Science Fiction Convention, Loncon 3, in London at the ExCeL Exhibition Center. Although the stage tonight has a very British feel (well, London at least), this ceremony celebrates the worldwide appeal of science fiction. Presenting awards tonight, there are guests from Britain and America, but also Nigeria, China, Canada, and even Australia – just to mention a few of the countries as the members of this convention come from all over the globe – and our list of nomi- nees hail from around the world too. However, it is not just the geographical diversity of our field that we celebrate tonight – it’s the diversity within fandom. Although you might not like the styles of all of the nominated works and you might not choose to read all the myriad sub-genres that exist within speculative fiction, tonight they have their place as Hugo Award nominees, chosen by the community of fans. As Ray Bradbury put it, “Anything you dream is fiction, and anything you accomplish is science.

    The Ridicule of Time: Science Fiction, Bioethics, and the Posthuman Jay Clayton American Literary History, Volume 25, Number 2, Summer 2013, pp. 317-340 (Article) Published by Oxford University Press For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/alh/summary/v025/25.2.clayton.html Access provided by Vanderbilt University Library (6 Jun 2013 09:56 GMT) The Ridicule of Time: Science Fiction, Bioethics, and the Posthuman Jay Clayton* Suppose you were a science fiction fan, a Trekkie, and a transhumanist; you once paid to attend a seminar with Rae¨l, knew all about Extropy back in the day, and subscribed to Longevity Meme Newsletter; you have read articles about an “immortality gene” and were thrilled to see Science publish a genome-wide association study in 2010 identifying 150 genes that might improve your chances of living to 100; and you practice extreme caloric restriction while spending a fortune on dietary supple- ments. Over the years, you have zealously collected the following quotes but have forgotten the sources. Which of them do you think came from classic 1950s works of science fiction and which from publications by distinguished scientists, doctors, philosophers, and law professors? 1. We, or our descendents, will cease to be human in the sense in which we now understand that idea. (3) 2. By the standards of evolution, it will be cataclysmic— instantaneous. It has already begun. (181) 3. The new immortals, in the decisive sense, would not be like us at all. (265) 4. Man will go into history along with the Java ape man, the Neanderthal beast man, and the Cro-Magnon Primitive.

  • Serious Shenanigans the New Space Opera and Social
    SERIOUS SHENANIGANS THE NEW SPACE OPERA AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY: AN ANALYSIS OF IAIN M. BANKS’S SURFACE DETAIL AND THE HYDROGEN SONATA AND ANN LECKIE’S IMPERIAL RADCH TRILOGY. Marloes de Vogel 3865878 RMA Comparative Literary Studies Supervisor dr. Barnita Bagchi Second Reader dr. Monica Janssen August 2018 1 Abstract This thesis contributes to research on the genre of space opera. Space opera is generally considered the least sophisticated form of science fiction, and remains underrepresented in scholarly research. Yet, a considerable part of the greatest science fiction published over the past three decades has been space opera. Specifically, it has been New Space Opera (NSO), a renewed, innovative form of space opera that arose during the second half of the 1980s. The NSO uses space opera’s core elements of adventure and conflict to both entertain and address serious contemporary social, political, and economic issues. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that the NSO is an exceptionally suitable form to provide social commentary. I will show that the NSO is an innovation of the Classic Space Opera (CSO) in terms of both form and content, that the critical and satirical space operas written during the 1960s and 1970s aided this innovation, and that the perceived unsophisticated and clichéd nature of the Classic Space Opera (CSO) actually encouraged the development of the NSO. Furthermore, through a close-reading analysis of US-American author Ann Leckie’s Imperial Radch trilogy (2013-2015) and Scottish author Iain M. Banks’ Culture novels Surface Detail (2010) and The Hydrogen Sonata (2012), which are typical examples of NSO novels, I will analyze how the narrative strategies of estrangement, defamiliarization, affect, and the novum, which are integral to the speculative and imaginative nature of space opera, are employed to provide social commentary on topics such as the oppression and dehumanization of cultural others, and on issues of identity and subjectivity formation.

  • Nancy Kress (February 2020)
    1 Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Nancy Kress (February 2020) Nancy Kress is the author of thirty-three books, including twenty-six novels, four collections of short stories, and three books on writing. Her work has won six Nebulas, two Hugos, a Sturgeon, and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, and has been translated into two dozen languages, including Klingon. In addition to writing, Kress often teaches at various venues around the country and abroad, including a visiting lectureship at the University of Leipzig, a 2017 writing class in Beijing, and the annual intensive workshop Taos Toolbox, which she teaches every summer with Walter Jon Williams. Tony DeSimone: “Nano Comes to Clifford Falls” is one of my favorite short stories. Do you think the advent of 3D printing could lead to that story becoming a reality?
