I’ve decided, after reading a couple of his books today, that I like Warren Ellis’ stuff. It’s dark, and grim, but it’s also smart and thought- provoking. ‘Scuse me while I go search the library database for more of his work… This was an intro into a new world, same as No Hero , though not the same world. This was more steam-punk meets UFOs with a dash of Firefly . A good book and while crude, in some places — these are graphic novels, emphasis on the first word, NOT Archie comics — the gross factor was far lower than in the other 2 GNs I read today.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. It is 1956 and the Earth is tired from wars and patrols in space and is closing all launching sites and is trying to isolate itself from the world. And in the middle of all this, one of the last pilots, Mary, receives the news that her father had died. This is how Warren Ellis opens its narrative and it is obvious from the very first page that we have a lot of catching up to do -- because this Earth has nothing to do with ours. And this catching up takes the form of a letter, numerous conversations and occasionally some guess work before the reality is confirmed. Mary starts for Ignition City just to claim her father's body and anything he had left behind. But it soon become clear that he had been killed and that the city is very different from any other - to start with, it is artificially built and is becoming the only place that still allows ships to leave Earth. And it becomes clear very fast that things are not as they look - the citizens are at least as weird as the city.

  • Robert Walser, Paul Scheerbart, and Joseph Roth Vi
    Telling Technology Contesting Narratives of Progress in Modernist Literature: Robert Walser, Paul Scheerbart, and Joseph Roth Vincent Hessling Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Vincent Hessling All rights reserved ABSTRACT Telling Technology Contesting Narratives of Progress in Modernist Literature: Robert Walser, Paul Scheerbart, and Joseph Roth Vincent Hessling Telling technology explores how modernist literature makes sense of technological change by means of narration. The dissertation consists of three case studies focusing on narrative texts by Robert Walser, Paul Scheerbart, and Joseph Roth. These authors write at a time when a crisis of ‘progress,’ understood as a basic concept of history, coincides with a crisis of narra- tion in the form of anthropocentric, action-based storytelling. Through close readings of their technographic writing, the case studies investigate how the three authors develop alter- native forms of narration so as to tackle the questions posed by the sweeping technological change in their day. Along with a deeper understanding of the individual literary texts, the dissertation establishes a theoretical framework to discuss questions of modern technology and agency through the lens of narrative theory.

Thanks to Laura Thurlin for additional battle scene writing! 3 4 1. The bombs exploded with a flash of blinding light and a brief full-spectrum blast of white noise. Next the shrill, upper-mid boosted double kick drum sound assaulted Ian's ears, and the flash was replaced by the rapidly changing PAR lights. Despite the large ar- ray of Marshall cabinets on the stage – and not one of them was fake – it took him some time to recognize the song and the presence of an actual guitar tone, but at last he did. He raised his beer glass in approval. The first song was Rising Force. The God of Swedish shredding, Yngwie Malmsteen, had taken the stage, though he was not yet visible through the thick fog. The intro guitar riff gave way to the first verse, and the bassist began to sang (after Ripper Owens’ depar- ture there was no actual front man), belting out the lyrics like a banshee on crack. Ian sung along hoarsely, for this was a classic he knew inside-out. Meanwhile he tried to catch a glimpse of Jo, who had pushed through the crowd to the front to observe the Maestro better. So far he was not able to see her, but was sure she was doing all right.

The problem in theorizing the Romantic epic stems from the uncommon diversity of epic performances during this period and from the epic’s sudden reappearance after a long period of apparent dormancy in the eighteenth century. When the Romantic epic is defined, however, not as poetic form but as a repeated political act, the epic’s eighteenth-century

  • Space History: State of the Art ~
    SECTION VI SPACE HISTORY: STATE OF THE ART ~ INTRODUCTION hat is the current state of space history as the 21st century commences Wand the Space Age reaches its 50th anniversary? Is it a vibrant marketplace of ideas and stimulating perspectives? Is it a moribund backwater of historical inquiry with little of interest to anyone and nothing to offer the wider historical discipline? As the four essays in this section demonstrate, space history is at neither extreme of this dichotomy. It has been energized in the last quarter century by a constant stream of new practitioners and a plethora of new ideas and points of view. A fundamental professionalization of the discipline has brought to fruition a dazzling array of sophisticated studies on all manner of topics in the history of spaceflight.Y et, as the collective authors of the section argue, there is much more to be done, and each offers suggestions for how historians might approach the field in new and different ways, each enriching what already exists. This section opens with an essay by Asif A. Siddiqi assessing the state of U.S. space history. He asserts that scholars have concentrated their work in one of four subfields that collectively may be viewed as making up the whole. As Siddiqi writes, “Some saw the space program as indicative of Americans’ ‘natural’ urge to explore the frontier; some believed that the space program was a surrogate for a larger struggle between good and evil; others wrote of a space program whose main force was modern American technology; and oth- ers described a space program whose central actors were hero astronauts, rep- resenting all that was noble in American culture.” He notes that space history started as a nonprofessional activity undertaken by practitioners and enthu- siasts, always viewing the field from the top down and producing an excep- tionally “Whiggish” perspective on the past.
