Clarke, astronaut David Bowman, aboard the spacecraft Discovery One, struggles to shut down HAL, an artificial intelligence responsible for operating the ship. The HAL computer system has been killing astronauts one by one in an attempt to preserve its functioning and programmed mission. Bowman, in an orange spacesuit, floats into what we assume is HAL’s mainframe, armed with a variation on a ratchet key, in an attempt to power down the computer and its deadly intelligence.

Speculative Fiction for the Future of Man and Civilization
Speculative Fiction for the Future of Man and Civilization Bogdan Trocha1 Doctor of Science (Philology), Professor, University of Zielona Góra (Zielona Góra, Poland) E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2348-4813 The main thesis of the article is the comparison of speculative fiction with the challenges facing modern man. Introductory questions are two issues. How can fantasy become the subject of cultural reflection on the future of human civilization? Can contemporary speculative fistion act as an instructional story about the unknown? The author indicates several basic models of using speculative fiction. However, it limits itself to creating an introductory canon, which is associated with literary speculations regarding the impact of man and technology on the future of civilization. Keywords: myth, speculative fiction, political fiction, space opera, postapocalyptic fiction, ecological science fiction Received: September 11, 2019; accepted: October 5, 2019 Future Human Image, Volume 12, 2019: 104-114. https://doi.org/10.29202/fhi/12/9 In the face of the unknown — in search of model stories: myth, fantasy, speculative fiction The notion of speculative fiction has been firmly established in popular culture for many years. However, while it is very easy to point to the essential features of the poetics of this type of novel, it is much more difficult to point to the cultural paradigm from which both speculative fiction and the need to use this type of poetics stems. The foundations of this type of cognitive and creative procedures should be found in two aspects of the human condition. The first one is certainly the aspiration to discover the sense of everything that man experiences in various ways in the world around him.

University-Industry (Et Al.) Interaction in Science Fiction
Fiction lagging behind or non-fiction defending the indefensible? University-industry (et al.) interaction in science fiction Joaquín M. Azagra-Caro1,*, Laura González-Salmerón2, Pedro Marques1 1 INGENIO (CSIC-UPV), Universitat Politècnica de València, Camino de Vera s/n, E-46022 Valencia, Spain 2 Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, University of Oxford ABSTRACT University-industry interaction has supporters and detractors in the scholarly literature. Whereas policymakers have mainly joined the former, science fiction authors have predominantly enrolled the latter. We illustrate how the genre has been critical to university-industry interaction via the analysis of the most positively acclaimed novels from the 1970s to date. We distinguish the analytical dimensions of type of conflict, and innovation helices involved other than university (industry, government, society). By doing so, we merge two streams of literature that had not encountered before: university-industry interaction and representations of science in popular culture. A methodological novelty is the creation of an objective corpus of the literature to increase external validity. Insights include the relevance of the time context, with milder views or disinterest on university-industry interaction in science fiction works after the passage of the Bayh-Dole Act; and the lack of an academic or policy narrative about the benefits of university-industry interaction so convincing as to permeate into popular culture. Discourse is crucial for legitimising ideas, and university-industry interaction may have not found the most appropriate yet. Keywords: university-industry interaction, conflicts, representations of science * Corresponding author. Tel.: +34963877007; fax: +34963877991. E-mail address: [email protected] 1 1.

Chronological List of Works Discussed
Chronological List of Works Discussed This is a selected list, limited to those novels, movies, and other creative works that I have discussed more than in passing. Unfortunately, there is no ideal way to set out such a list. I have settled on chronological order, except that I have grouped items by the same author or in the same movie franchise. When in doubt, I have erred on the side of including inherently important works if they receive more than a mention in the text. The number of works listed for a particular author is not necessarily an indication of the relative space given to discussion of the author in the main text. For example, I list only two works for Samuel R. Delany, but one of them, Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand, is discussed at substantial length. Although the works I have chosen for discussion have been strongly inﬂuenced by my particular focus on science ﬁction and moral philosophy, what follows could function as a reasonable introductory reading and viewing list for people wishing to immerse themselves in the SF genre. Early Modernity Johannes Kepler. Somnium, Sive Astronomia Lunaris (completed c. 1608– 1609, but not formally published until 1634). Jonathan Swift. Gulliver’s Travels (1726; full original title Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of several Ships). © Springer International Publishing AG 2017 195 R. Blackford, Science Fiction and the Moral Imagination, Science and Fiction, DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-61685-8 196 Chronological List of Works Discussed From Shelley to Wells Mary Shelley.
