Maelstrom; or, Life After the Woods: Paolo Bacigalupi’s “The Gambler” Otto Neubauer LIT 4010: Science Fiction March 31, 2011 Much of contemporary space-based science fiction tends to ignore nature completely, with food replicators and life support systems eliminating the need for plants as anything but decoration. In contrast, Earth-based science fiction stories often center on a conflict between man and nature. Yet though the primary themes in Paolo Bacigalupi’s “The Gambler”, Bruce Sterling’s “We See Things Differently”, and Harlan Ellison’s “‘Repent, Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman” are political (with “The Gambler” being a critical portrayal of the fourth estate), each offers a small window into how man ought or ought not to relate to nature.

W A S T E L A N D S S T O R I E S O F T H E A P O C A L Y P S E SCHEDULED FOR A JANUARY 1, 2008 RELEASE Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are said to be the harbingers of the biblical apocalypse— Armageddon, The End of The World. In science fiction, the end of the world is usually triggered by more specific means: nuclear warfare, biological disaster (or warfare), ecological/geological disaster, or cosmological disaster. But in the wake of any great cataclysm, there are survivors—and post-apocalyptic science fiction speculates what life would be like for them. WASTELANDS (Night Shade Books trade paperback; January 1, 2008; $15.95) gathers 22 of the finest works of post-apocalyptic fiction ever written, including fiction from the likes of Stephen King, George R. R. Martin, Jonathan Lethem, Orson Scott Card, Gene Wolfe, Octavia E. Butler, and many others. Post-apocalyptic SF first rose to prominence in the aftermath World War II—no doubt due in large part to the world having witnessed the devastating destructive power of the atomic bomb—and reached the height of its popularity during Cold War, when the threat of worldwide nuclear annihilation seemed a very real possibility. So why the resurgence in popularity now? Is it because the political climate now is reminiscent of the climate during the Cold War? During times of war and global unease, is it that much easier to imagine a depopulated world, a world destroyed by humanity's own hand? In WASTELANDS , you will find 22 different science fictional apocalyptic scenarios.

  • Introduction Imagining the Future of Climate Change
    Introduction Imagining the Future of Climate Change In Bong Joon-Ho’s 2013 international blockbuster Snowpiercer, a single train traverses the globe, protecting the fi nal remnant of humanity from an Ice Age that made the planet seemingly unin- habitable. Set in 2031, the fi lm begins by squarely placing the blame on humans for this catastrophic climate change. As the opening credits roll over dark, starry space, we hear crackling, fuzzy excerpts of news broadcasts from all over the world telling how, despite protests from environmental groups and “developing coun- tries,” on 1 July 2014, seventy countries dispersed the artifi cial cool- ing substance CW-7 into the upper layers of the atmosphere. Because “global warming can no longer be ignored,” one of the dis- embodied voices explains, seeding the skies with CW-7 was a last- ditch eff ort “to bring average global temperatures down to man- ageable levels as a revolutionary solution to mankind’s warming of the planet.” But before the real action of the fi lm even starts, we learn the grim outcome of this desperate international scientifi c experiment. Two short sentences loom large on the screen: “Soon after dispersing CW-7 the world froze. All life became extinct.” 1 2 / Introduction In imagining a geo-engineering experiment gone wrong in response to the disaster of global warming, Bong is asking us to think critically about the solution to the problem of climate change that is favored by many people, states, and corporations invested in fi nding alternatives to curbing carbon emissions.1 In addition, since the mid-2000s, some prominent scientists, such as Dutch Nobel Prize-winning atmospheric chemist Paul Crut- zen, have also advocated exploring geo-engineering out of fears that states will not take the necessary actions to curb global warming in time and that we are on the brink of locking in dys- topian climate change that will render unsustainable life on Earth as we know it.

The Great War The First World War began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918 when at 11:00 am — “the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” — a ceasefire came into effect. The term “First World War” was first used in September 1914 by the German philosopher Ernst Haeck el, who claimed, “There is no doubt that the course and ch aracter of the feared ‘European War’ ... will become the first world war in the full sense of the word.” The unprecedented casualty rates from widespread use of ch emical warfare, artillery, and new weapons such as flamethrowers left many of those who had fought in the war with lasting traumas.

  • On the Theme of Nostalgia in Paolo Bacigalupi's Post
    GAUN JSS On the Theme of Nostalgia in Paolo Bacigalupi’s Post-Apocalyptic Novel The Windup Girl Paolo Bacigalupi’nin Post-Apokaliptik Romanı Kurma Kız’da Nostalji Teması Üzerine Murat KABAK* Abstract After the massive outbreaks of violence and catastrophes at the dawn of the twentieth century, experiences of dislocation and dissonance, as well as their reflection in the human psyche, nostalgia, captivated the interest of various disciplines from literary studies to politics. Although viewed through various lenses, nostalgia as a state of a wistful affection for the past still permeates the present discourses. These studies on nostalgia overlap with a rising trend in the Western literary canon, the surge of derivative forms of utopia. Building on the contemporary interdisciplinary approaches on nostalgia and dystopian tradition, this paper investigates the individual’s position in a dystopian setting with an emphasis on the experience of nostalgia in Paolo Bacigalupi’s novel The Windup Girl (2009). This article aims to investigate the role of nostalgia in a post-apocalyptic dystopian setting with a focus on various experiences of nostalgia. I argue that Bacigalupi’s novel is a nuanced exploration of the experi- ence of nostalgia and a meditation on the connection between nostalgia and utopianism, due to its engagement with both individual and collective experiences of nostalgia. Keywords: Dystopian tradition, nostalgia, Paolo Bacigalupi, The Windup Girl Öz Yirminci yüzyılın şafağında meydana gelen şiddet ve devasa yıkımların ardından insanların aidiyet ve ahenk hissiyatındaki çöküşün insan ruhuna işlediği nostalji duygusu, edebiyat çalışmalarından siyasete kadar çeşitli disiplinlerin ilgisini çekmiştir. Birçok farklı açıdan bakılmış olsa da nostalji, günümüz söylemlerinde hâlâ geç- mişe yönelik hüzünlü bir özlem durumu olarak geçmektedir.
