THE SPACE MERCHANTS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Frederik Pohl,C.M. Kornbluth | 192 pages | 10 Jul 2003 | Orion Publishing Co | 9780575075283 | English | London, United Kingdom The Space Merchants – Wendie Nordgren The morning newscast above the shaving mirror caught me for a moment I switched it off when the quarter-hour time signal chimed over the audio band. It looked as though I was going to be late again. Which certainly would not help mollify the Board. I saved five minutes by wearing yesterday's shirt instead of studding a clean one and by leaving my breakfast juice to grow warm and sticky on the table. But I lost the five minutes again by trying to call Kathy. She didn't answer the phone and I was late getting into the office. Fortunately--and unprecedentedly--Fowler Schocken was late too. In our office it is Fowler's custom to hold the weekly Board conference fifteen minutes before the regular opening of the business day. It keeps the clerks and stenos on their toes, and it's no hardship to Fowler. He spends every morning in the office anyway, and "morning" to him begins with the rising of the sun.

Pohl offered it to every American publishing house which printed science fiction, without any success. Eventually, he met Ian Ballantine , an old colleague of his wife's, who had just founded Ballantine Books and was looking for new titles. Ballantine agreed to publish it—Pohl joked that "he was just too inexperienced to know that it was no good"—and it was released in May, , in simultaneous paperback and hardcover editions. Twenty-five years after first publication, writing in The Way The Future Was , Pohl estimated that it had sold perhaps ten million copies in twenty-five languages. The omnibus was part of a two-volume set of s science fiction, the first LOA project to include an extensive online companion site. In his study of the pioneers of science fiction, New Maps of Hell , the novelist Kingsley Amis states that The Space Merchants "has many claims to being the best science-fiction novel so far. On its initial publication, Groff Conklin called the novel "perhaps the best science fiction satire since Brave New World. Schuyler Miller compared the novel to Brave New World , finding it "not so brilliant, but more consistently worked out and suffering principally As with many significant works of science fiction, it was lexically inventive. The novel is cited by the Oxford English Dictionary as the first recorded source for a number of new words, including " soyaburger ", "moon suit", "tri-di" for "three-dimensional", "R and D" for " research and development ", " sucker-trap " for a shop aimed at gullible tourists, and one of the first uses of " muzak " as a generic term. It is also cited as the first incidence of "survey" as a verb meaning to carry out a poll. The novel was followed some years later by a sequel, The Merchants' War ; as Kornbluth had died in , it was written solely by Pohl. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Days later she's negotiating to be married to another man her uncle wants politically and that's that. Yes, old enough to marry, have kids, but can be whooped because she played a prank. I like the world building and the messes Teagan finds herself manipulated into. The kidnappings, attempted murders, the spiders, the spaceships, the wars make for a fun back drop for an otherwise annoying female protag. Nov 11, Shasha rated it really liked it. Sweet While there are a few moments of danger, this long tale is a sugary sweet journey of making new friends and family. The spiders are too cute. The writing is very simple with a few wrong words mixed in--like message for massage. The heroine is an abuse victim and any kindness moves her to tears. While there are some intimate scenes and innuendos, this is not a steamy story. Read in KU. Aug 16, Jennifer G rated it really liked it Shelves: reverse-harem. Teagan is a survivor. She grew up under an abusive father with no mother. As soon as she was old enough she escaped and lived on a park bench until she was given a bare room and a job collecting trash. She has one friend and dreams of one day going into space, but for right now, she gets by on her own. Her dreams actually come true when she is hired to be the domestic help on the trade ship Tora under the command of Captain Hiroshi Lee, his adopted brother Yukihyo, and Dr.

    Notes from the Underground: a Cultural, Political, and Aesthetic Mapping of Underground Music

    Notes From The Underground: A Cultural, Political, and Aesthetic Mapping of Underground Music. Stephen Graham Goldsmiths College, University of London PhD 1 I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed: …………………………………………………. Date:…………………………………………………….. 2 Abstract The term ‗underground music‘, in my account, connects various forms of music-making that exist largely outside ‗mainstream‘ cultural discourse, such as Drone Metal, Free Improvisation, Power Electronics, and DIY Noise, amongst others. Its connotations of concealment and obscurity indicate what I argue to be the music‘s central tenets of cultural reclusion, political independence, and aesthetic experiment. In response to a lack of scholarly discussion of this music, my thesis provides a cultural, political, and aesthetic mapping of the underground, whose existence as a coherent entity is being both argued for and ‗mapped‘ here. Outlining the historical context, but focusing on the underground in the digital age, I use a wide range of interdisciplinary research methodologies , including primary interviews, musical analysis, and a critical engagement with various pertinent theoretical sources. In my account, the underground emerges as a marginal, ‗antermediated‘ cultural ‗scene‘ based both on the web and in large urban centres, the latter of whose concentration of resources facilitates the growth of various localised underground scenes. I explore the radical anti-capitalist politics of many underground figures, whilst also examining their financial ties to big business and the state(s). This contradiction is critically explored, with three conclusions being drawn. First, the underground is shown in Part II to be so marginal as to escape, in effect, post- Fordist capitalist subsumption.

    Landing Interview for Ptolemaic Terrascope

    Landing Landing are an aptly named band. Leaving aside for a moment the nevertheless apt if all the more obvious space- rock connotations, the current line-up find themselves grounded from the four point of the American compass: Guitarist Aaron Snow comes from Connecticut in the East, his wife, Adrienne (keyboards) hails from California and together they met bassist/drummer Daron Gardner and guitarist Dick Baldwin (who'd spent some time down South in Florida) at several of the couple's live gigs in the Northern climes of Provo, Utah - Gardner's childhood home. Jeff Penczak caught up with them in Middletown, Connecticut, home of the band since December, 1999. PT: Aaron, your first release, the ‘Centrefuge’ EP was recorded at home in Utah. Is that where you and Adrienne first met, got married and formed the band? Aaron- Actually, ‘Centrefuge’ was recorded in Connecticut and Utah. Adrienne and I did meet in Utah though, in the summer of ‘94. We got married in April of 1996 and started playing music live around the fall of ‘97. It was at those shows where we met Dick and Daron. Back then (when we played as a two piece) we went through a bunch of band names such as The Non and Graphic Radio before we settled on the name May Landing. Adrienne and I moved back to CT. the following summer, and that’s when we bought a Moog (Realistic MG-1 made for Radio Shack), changed the name to Landing, and started working on the EP. Was it originally just the duo or did you have the rhythm section right from the beginning? Aaron- At the beginning of Landing it was pretty much just me and Adrienne and my high school buddy David Lifrieri who helped out by playing drums and bass on one song and guitar on another.

Without that motivation, rock music might have been stuck in Chuck Berry's riffs forever. Psychedelia was in a sense the "big bang" of rock music, from which the expansion began. However, after four decades it was difficult to see what that original impulse still had to offer that had not been heard already a thousand times. The sound of droning guitars was not particularly exciting anymore, shoegazing ecstasy was becoming the equivalent of the new-age music of the 1980s, and psychedelic folksingers were beginning to sound senile. Boston's Paradise Camp 23, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Erik Amlee, indulged in the 47-minute shapeless space-noise jam that takes up most of Bar-BQ Dungeon (2001) and then unleashed the 46-minute drone-based jam of Solitaire (2002), bathed in cosmic electronic noise. Seattle's duo Growing turned psychedelic trance into an austere and pure science with its subliminal ambient dronescapes for guitars and electronics: Epochal Reminiscence, off The Soul Of The Rainbow And The Harmony Of Light (2004), that diluted a folkish melody into a cycle of ear-piercing tones; the pulsating galactic tsunami Wide Open, off His Return (2005); the dense hyper-dilated slowly-shifting Blue Angels, off Color Wheel (2006).
