  • Lois Mcmaster Bujold June 2018
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Lois McMaster Bujold June 2018 It's been over 30 years since the epic, bestselling Vorkosigan Saga launched with “Shards of Honor,” and author Lois McMaster Bujold continues to mine new depths for the characters and settings in her rich science fiction universe. Set approximately 1,000 years in the future in a system of fictional planets (and occasionally on Earth), the series follows Miles Vorkosigan, a man as gifted in military tactics and interplanetary politics as he is at stumbling into trouble. Beyond the Vorkosigan Saga, Bujold has written books in the Chalion series and The Sharing Knife series. Known for her wit, warmth, and operatic, action-packed plots, Bujold has won the Hugo Award for Best Novel four times, the Hugo Award for Best Novella, and three Nebula Awards. Jo Zebedee: How integral are the short works to the Vorkosigan universe? LMB: As integral as any of the novels, in my opinion. (Well, maybe excepting “Weatherman”, which is an out-take from the novel The Vor Game, and thus double-dipping.) The reader may pick up three of the (currently) six in one package in the collection Borders of Infinity; the other two are still ala carte. Michael Rowe: Did you have an expectation on how we would view the Cetaganda Nobles and the Vor? (One more agreeable one less so?) LMB: The Vor are an ordinary sort of aristocracy, so that will depend on how one feels about aristocracies. The Cetagandans have a two-tier system, of which the upper level, the haut, turn out to be an ongoing genetics project aiming at creating post-humans.

  • Ringworld Engineers Larry Niven PART ONE CHAPTER 1 UNDER the WIRE
    Ringworld 02 Ringworld Engineers Larry Niven PART ONE CHAPTER 1 UNDER THE WIRE Louis Wu was under the wire when two men came to invade his privacy. He was in full lotus position on the lush yellow indoor-grass carpet. His smile was blissful, dreamy. The apartment was small, just one big room. He could see both doors. But, lost in the joy that only a wirehead knows, he never saw them arrive. Suddenly they were there: two pale youths, both over seven feet tall, studying Louis with contemptuous smiles. One snorted and dropped something weapon-shaped in his pocket. They were stepping forward as Louis stood up. It wasn't just the happy smile that fooled them. It was the fist-sized droud that protruded like a black plastic canker from the crown of Louis Wu's head. They were dealing with a current addict, and they knew what to expect. For years the man must have had no thought but for the wire trickling current into the pleasure center of his brain. He would be near starvation from self-neglect. He was small, a foot and a half shorter than either of the invaders. He — As they reached for him Louis bent far sideways, for balance, and kicked once, twice, thrice. One of the invaders was down, curled around himself and not breathing, before the other found the wit to back away. Louis came after him. What held the youth half paralyzed was the abstracted bliss with which Louis came to kill him. Too late, he reached for the stunner he'd pocketed.

  • Science Fiction As the Mythology of the Future
    Science Fiction as the Mythology of the Future “The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.” Muriel Rukeyser Introduction Science fiction is clearly the most visible and influential contemporary form of futurist thinking in the modern world. Why is science fiction so popular? As I will argue, one main reason for the popularity of science fiction is that it resonates with all the fundamental dimensions of the human mind and human experience. It speaks to the total person about the future. At the outset, let me provide a working definition of science fiction. Although not all science fiction deals with the future, its primary focus has been on the possibilities of the future. In this regard, science fiction can be defined as a literary and narrative approach to the future, involving plots, story lines and action sequences, specific settings, dramatic resolutions, and varied and unique characters, human and otherwise. It is imaginative, concrete, and often highly detailed scenario-building about the future set in the form of stories. In this chapter I describe the historical development of science fiction as an approach to the future tracing its origins to science and evolutionary theory, secular philosophy, technological forecasting, mythology, and the philosophy of Romanticism.1 Within this historical review, I consider the rich array of futurist themes and issues examined in science fiction. I also describe the diverse functions and innumerable strengths of science fiction as a mode of future consciousness. My central arguments are: • Science fiction engages all the fundamental capacities of the human mind; it generates holistic future consciousness.
