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.

He started as a general dogsbody--call-boy, assistant stage manager, property master and assistant lighting director--but was occasionally allowed to play small walk-on parts. A lot of the script writers used to make the Doctor use expressions like 'centrifugal force' but I refused. However, despite stereotyped roles, the actor often delivered varied inflexions to his part. The Hypnotist. I would highly recommend this. Doctor Who: Origins. Claimed to have enjoyed the adulation he received when playing Doctor Who, especially from children. Hartnell entered the theatre in [6] working under Frank Benson as a general stagehand. The author does seem both sensitive and protective of the memory of her late grandfather; while she does acknowledge and discuss his gambling issues, infidelity, and his heavy drinking which more than likely contributed directly the health issues that would later rob him of 'Doctor Who' and, indeed, lead to an early death, she also does not make much of them. They had one child, a daughter, Heather Anne, [2] and two grandchildren. The reader 'does' get glimpses into his private life, but they are just that, glimpses. Refresh and try again. I don't like anything blue or salacious or suggestive because I'm not that type of actor. Important reference work. I couldn't help them. People used to take it terribly seriously.

PART ONE THE DOCTOR AND HIS COMPANIONS 1 1 A Young-Old Face Out with the New and in with the Old in Doctor Who Richard Hewett Introduction ‘I approve of your new face, Doctor - so much more like mine.’ This line, spoken by the now ancient, enervated and seemingly dying Davros in ‘The Magician’s Apprentice’, is just one of many age-related barbs directed at the Twelfth Doctor during Peter Capaldi’s reign, serving as a constant reminder that the Time Lord is no longer (if, indeed, his on-screen self ever was)1 a young man. Throughout his tenure, friends and foes alike highlighted the latest incarnation’s wrinkled, somewhat cadaverous visage, grey hair, and scrawny body, the Doctor being variously described as a ‘desiccated man crone’ (‘Robot of Sherwood’), a ‘grey-haired stick insect’ (‘Listen’), and a ‘skeleton man’ (‘Last Christmas’).
