  • 1: for Me, It Was Personal Names with Too Many of the Letter "Q"
    1: For me, it was personal names with too many of the letter "q", "z", or "x". With apostrophes. Big indicator of "call a rabbit a smeerp"; and generally, a given name turns up on page 1... 2: Large scale conspiracies over large time scales that remain secret and don't fall apart. (This is not *explicitly* limited to SF, but appears more often in branded-cyberpunk than one would hope for a subgenre borne out of Bruce Sterling being politically realistic in a zine.) Pretty much *any* form of large-scale space travel. Low earth orbit, not so much; but, human beings in tin cans going to other planets within the solar system is an expensive multi-year endevour that is unlikely to be done on a more regular basis than people went back and forth between Europe and the americas prior to steam ships. Forget about interstellar travel. Any variation on the old chestnut of "robots/ais can't be emotional/creative". On the one hand, this is realistic because human beings have a tendency for othering other races with beliefs and assumptions that don't hold up to any kind of scrutiny (see, for instance, the relatively common belief in pre-1850 US that black people literally couldn't feel pain). On the other hand, we're nowhere near AGI right now and it's already obvious to everyone with even limited experience that AI can be creative (nothing is more creative than a PRNG) and emotional (since emotions are the least complex and most mechanical part of human experience and thus are easy to simulate).

  • The Mutual Influence of Science Fiction and Innovation
    Nesta Working Paper No. 13/07 Better Made Up: The Mutual Influence of Science fiction and Innovation Caroline Bassett Ed Steinmueller George Voss Better Made Up: The Mutual Influence of Science fiction and Innovation Caroline Bassett Ed Steinmueller George Voss Reader in Digital Media, Professor of Information and Research Fellow, Faculty of Arts, Research Centre for Material Technology, SPRU, University University of Brighton, Visiting Digital Culture, School of of Communication Sussex Fellow at SPRU, University of Media, Film and Music, Sussex University of Sussex Nesta Working Paper 13/07 March 2013 www.nesta.org.uk/wp13-07 Abstract This report examines the relationship between SF and innovation, defined as one of mutual engagement and even co-constitution. It develops a framework for tracing the relationships between real world science and technology and innovation and science fiction/speculative fiction involving processes of transformation, central to which are questions of influence, persuasion, and desire. This is contrasted with the more commonplace assumption of direct linear transmission, SF providing the inventive seed for innovation– instances of which are the exception rather than the rule. The model of influence is developed through an investigation of the nature and evolution of genre, the various effects/appeals of different forms of expression, and the ways in which SF may be appropriated by its various audiences. This is undertaken (i) via an inter- disciplinary survey of work on SF, and a consideration the historical construction of genre and its on-going importance, (ii) through the development of a prototype database exploring transformational paths, and via more elaborated loops extracted from the database, and (iii) via experiments with the development of a web crawl tool, to understand at a different scale, using tools of digital humanities, how fictional ideas travel.

A studiat matematica la Universitatea Cambridge şi a obţinut un doctorat în fizică matematică la Universitatea din Edinburgh. În septembrie 2010 prestigioasa editură Gollancz din Marea Britanie şi apoi TOR din Statele Unite i-au cumpărat şi publicat volumul de debut, Hoţul cuantic, numai pe baza primelor 20 de pagini din manuscris. Un an mai târziu, cartea a fost nominalizată la Premiul Locus pentru cel mai bun roman de debut şi este considerată atât de critici, cât şi de fanii literaturii science fiction unul dintre cele mai bune debuturi din ultimii ani. În 2012 a apărut The Fractal Prince, volumul al doilea al seriei, iar în 2014 s-a publicat a treia carte, The Causal Angel. În prezent, Hannu Rajaniemi locuieşte în California. 3 Cuprins 1.

You can walk down the street cloaked in privacy, so anyone passing won't recognize you unless you want them to. Maybe he does when it comes to certain of his ideas about physics and cryptography, but that's where the plausibility ends. The more common approach is, alas, to simply ignore the problem. There are authors who don't cotton to hand-holding, and then there are authors who drop you off in the middle of Times Square on New Year's Eve, distract you with a party favor, and then run the other way as fast as they can. You are a Copy that knows it is a copy. Further, the book is overly long, and in need of some serious editorial focus, with questions like on "what story are you telling? At times I had to re-read sections that twisted and fried my mind, but I consider that fun, if and only if, the reward is gratifying.

TURUN YLIOPISTO Kieli- ja käännöstieteiden laitos/Humanistinen tiedekunta LAINE, ANNA: Kulttuurin merkitys spekulatiivisen fiktion kääntämisessä Tutkielma, 67 s., 16 liites. Englannin kieli, Englannin kääntäminen ja tulkkaus Huhtikuu 2014 ____________________________________________________________________ Tutkielma käsittelee kulttuurin merkitystä spekulatiivisessa fiktiossa eli sitä, miten genre vaikuttaa tekstin kulttuurisidonnaisten kohtien kääntämiseen. Spekulatiivinen fiktio käsitetään usein lähes irralliseksi siitä kulttuurista, jossa se on syntynyt. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kuitenkin osoittaa, ettei näin ole. Spekulatiivinen fiktio ei ole siis erillinen syntykulttuuristaan, vaan vaikutussuhde on itse asiassa molemminpuolinen: kulttuuri ottaa paitsi vaikutteita, mutta myös sanastoa spekulatiivisesta fiktiosta. Koska spekulatiivinen fiktio on erityisesti Suomessa terminä uudehko, sen määritteleminen on olennainen osa tutkimusta. Spekulatiivisen fiktion yhteneväisyyksiä ja eroavaisuuksia aiempiin genreihin, kuten tieteiskirjallisuuteen ja fantasiakirjallisuuteen, käsitellään tutkimuksen alkuosassa.
