  • Emerging Legal and Policy Trends in Recent Robot Science Fiction
    Emerging Legal and Policy Trends in Recent Robot Science Fiction Robin R. Murphy Computer Science and Engineering Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77845 [email protected] Introduction This paper examines popular print science fiction for the past five years (2013-2018) in which robots were essential to the fictional narrative and the plot depended on a legal or policy issue related to robots. It follows in the footsteps of other works which have examined legal and policy trends in science fiction [1] and graphic novels [2], but this paper is specific to robots. An analysis of five books and one novella identified four concerns about robots emerging in the public consciousness: enabling false identities through telepresence, granting robot rights, outlawing artificial intelligence for robots, and ineffectual or missing product liability. Methodolology for Selecting the Candidate Print Fiction While robotics is a popular topic in print science fiction, fictional treatments do not necessarily touch on legal or policy issues. Out of 44 candidate works, only six involved legal or policy issues. Candidates for consideration were identified in two ways. One, the nominees for the 2013-2018 Hugo and Nebulas awards were examined for works dealing with robots. The other was a query of science fiction robot best sellers at Amazon. A candidate work of fiction had to contain at least one robot that served either a character or contributed to the plot such that the robot could not be removed without changing the story. For example, in Raven Stratagem, robots did not appear to be more than background props throughout the book but suddenly proved pivotal to the ending of the novel.

The Hugo Awards, presented first in 1953 and annually since 1955, are science fiction’s most prestigious award, and one of the World Science Fiction Convention’s unique and distinguished institutions. Since 1993, Worldcon committees have had the option of awarding Retrospective Hugo Awards for past Worldcon years prior to 1953 where they had not been presented 25, 50, or 100 years prior to the contemporary convention, with the exception of the hiatus during World War II when no Worldcon was convened. A recent change in this policy has now allowed for Retro Hugos to be awarded for the years 1942-1945. 1943 Retrospective Hugo Award Winners Best Fan Writer Forrest J Ackerman Best Fanzine Le Zombie, edited by Arthur Wilson "Bob" Tucker Best Professional Artist Virgil Finlay Best Editor - Short Form John W.

  • The Imagined Communities of Toxic Puppies: Considering Fan Community Discourse in the 2015 Hugo Awards ‘Puppygate’ Controversy
    . Volume 15, Issue 1 May 2018 The imagined communities of Toxic Puppies: Considering fan community discourse in the 2015 Hugo Awards ‘Puppygate’ controversy J. Richard Stevens & Rachel Lara van der Merwe, University of Colorado, USA Abstract: In 2015, toxic fan conflicts disrupted the Hugo Awards selection proceedings. The conflict between the awards voters and a movement known as ‘Puppygate’, led by angry fans, dates back to at least 2012 and comprises thousands of networked conversations enacting toxic frames of contemporary culture wars (heated and often disruptive exchanges characterized by challenges to identity politics, arguments over representation, and conflicting tastes) from all sides. However, these toxic fan discourses emerged within the context of significant cultural changes. Fans exist in communal spaces formed among institutional and cultural forces, yet the drive to create communal culture through shared communication exchanges continually encourage toxic conflicts of social identity and taste. This article considers the toxic exchanges between various actors in the blogs, social media, and formal public statements of the Puppygate controversy to chronicle how structural change is subsumed into frames of ‘culture war’ rhetoric. Keywords: science fiction, toxic fan exchanges, fan studies, Hugo Awards Introduction In the past few years, toxic fan conflicts have increasingly captured news and social media attention. Such exchanges, which are often cited for their uncivil rhetoric and anti-social tendencies, strategically disrupt spaces of communal cultural appreciation, and represent the growing tensions between fan gatekeeping and conflicts over social values in an increasingly mediated culture. Scholarly analyses of inter- and intra-fandom Othering ‘of fans, by fans’ (Hills, 2012, p.

  • Business Passed on to Next Worldcon
    World Science Fiction Society Business Passed on to Worldcon 76 The following items were passed at Worldcon 75 in 2017 and must be ratified by Worldcon 76 in 2018 in order to become part of the Worldcon Constitution. A.1 Short Title: What Our Marks Really Are Moved: to replace section 2.2 of the Constitution with: Every Worldcon and NASFIC Committee shall include the following notice in each of its publications: “World Science Fiction Society”, “WSFS”, “World Science Fiction Convention”, “Worldcon”, “NASFiC” “Hugo Award”, the Hugo Award Logo, and the distinctive design of the Hugo Award Trophy Rocket are service marks of the World Science Fiction Society, an unincorporated literary society. Every Worldcon and NASFIC Committee shall include a notice in each of its publications that clearly acknowledges the service marks of the Society. The Mark Protection Committee shall supply each such convention committee with the correct form of such notice. Proposed by: The Mark Protection Committee See the 2017 WSFS Business Meeting Minutes for the makers’ commentary on page 6. ***** A.2 Short Title: The Reasonable Amendment Moved: to amend 3.8.5 (Nominee Diversity) of the WSFS Constitution by striking “best” and inserting “reasonable” in its place. The revised 3.8.5 will then read as follows: 3.8.5: If there are more than two works in the same category that are episodes of the same dramatic presentation series or that are written works that have an author for single author works, or two or more authors for co-authored works, in common, only the two works in each category that have the most nominations shall appear on the final ballot.
