  • The Mutual Influence of Science Fiction and Innovation
    Nesta Working Paper No. 13/07 Better Made Up: The Mutual Influence of Science fiction and Innovation Caroline Bassett Ed Steinmueller George Voss Better Made Up: The Mutual Influence of Science fiction and Innovation Caroline Bassett Ed Steinmueller George Voss Reader in Digital Media, Professor of Information and Research Fellow, Faculty of Arts, Research Centre for Material Technology, SPRU, University University of Brighton, Visiting Digital Culture, School of of Communication Sussex Fellow at SPRU, University of Media, Film and Music, Sussex University of Sussex Nesta Working Paper 13/07 March 2013 www.nesta.org.uk/wp13-07 Abstract This report examines the relationship between SF and innovation, defined as one of mutual engagement and even co-constitution. It develops a framework for tracing the relationships between real world science and technology and innovation and science fiction/speculative fiction involving processes of transformation, central to which are questions of influence, persuasion, and desire. This is contrasted with the more commonplace assumption of direct linear transmission, SF providing the inventive seed for innovation– instances of which are the exception rather than the rule. The model of influence is developed through an investigation of the nature and evolution of genre, the various effects/appeals of different forms of expression, and the ways in which SF may be appropriated by its various audiences. This is undertaken (i) via an inter- disciplinary survey of work on SF, and a consideration the historical construction of genre and its on-going importance, (ii) through the development of a prototype database exploring transformational paths, and via more elaborated loops extracted from the database, and (iii) via experiments with the development of a web crawl tool, to understand at a different scale, using tools of digital humanities, how fictional ideas travel.

  • Hannu Rajaniemi- Jean Le Flambeur 01-Hotul Cuantic
    Hannu Rajaniemi Hoţul cuantic Traducere din limba engleză Alina Bilciurescu 2 Hannu Rajaniemi s-a născut în 1978 la Ylivieska, Finlanda, dar a trăit mare parte din viaţă în Marea Britanie şi a scris în limba engleză. A studiat matematica la Universitatea Cambridge şi a obţinut un doctorat în fizică matematică la Universitatea din Edinburgh. În septembrie 2010 prestigioasa editură Gollancz din Marea Britanie şi apoi TOR din Statele Unite i-au cumpărat şi publicat volumul de debut, Hoţul cuantic, numai pe baza primelor 20 de pagini din manuscris. Un an mai târziu, cartea a fost nominalizată la Premiul Locus pentru cel mai bun roman de debut şi este considerată atât de critici, cât şi de fanii literaturii science fiction unul dintre cele mai bune debuturi din ultimii ani. În 2012 a apărut The Fractal Prince, volumul al doilea al seriei, iar în 2014 s-a publicat a treia carte, The Causal Angel. În prezent, Hannu Rajaniemi locuieşte în California. 3 Cuprins 1.

We can reasonably our relation not only to potential futures but assume that any post-humanity would also be also the limits of humanity in our own present. diverse. Cory Doctorow writes that ‘ten This article will use an analysis of the thousand years ago, the state-of-the-art was a nature and function of post-human goat. You really think you’re going to be consciousness in Hannu Rajaniemi’s Jean le anything recognizably human in a hundred Flambeur trilogy to assess the critical potential centuries?’ (Doctorow 2003: loc. 91-2). This for staging a diverse range of (im)possible summary of the estrangement of post-humanity modes of post-humanity to critique the highlights the inevitable difference of a future formation and diversity of humanity in the human society from our own due to the present and near future. This will use an inexorable march of evolution. It also broaches extension of Fredric Jameson’s conception of the problematic task of imagining the utopia to posit the role of science fiction in fundamentally different nature of humans in the critiquing the present through our desire for future. Such subjects are not merely post- staging alternative future perspectives. Gilles human in terms of appearance, biological and Deleuze’s notions of difference and minor technological enhancements, constructed literature will negotiate such a literary staging’s identity or culture, but in the very definitions of relation to current society and the problem of consciousness that enable and define the writing the post-human.

Rajaniemi continues to impress me with his ability to project into the extreme future what life might be like if consciousness could be digitized I don't believe it can be, but it makes for fantastic and fantastical possibilities. I was delightfully wrong. And that's why some science fiction authors who seem to glorify technology, like Neal Stephenson, really disappoint me.

  • The Cyborg Subject Parallax Realities, Functions of Consciousness
    THE CYBORG SUBJECT PARALLAX REALITIES, FUNCTIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE VOID OF SUBJECTIVITY GARFIELD BENJAMIN BMUS MMUS A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF WOLVERHAMPTON FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY AUGUST 2014 This work or any part thereof has not previously been presented in any form to the University or to any other body whether for the purposes of assessment, publication or for any other purposes (unless otherwise indicated). Save for any express acknowledgements, references and/or bibliographies cited in the work, I confirm the intellectual content of the work is the result of my own efforts and of no other person. The right of Garfield Benjamin to be identified as author of this work is asserted in accordance with ss.77 and 78 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. At this date copyright is owned by the author. Signature ……………………………………. Date …………………………………………… ABSTRACT This thesis contributes to the fields of digital technology, consciousness studies and cultural theory by reassessing the relation of the contemporary subject to physical and digital worlds. By moving beyond the materiality of these worlds, this investigation will position the subject as a cyborg: a series of relations within consciousness that defines the reality and psychological construction of the subject across and through physical and digital perspectives. The functions of consciousness are set out as Existence, Meaning, Virtual, and Real, and their shifting relations defined in terms of physical and digital modes of consciousness.
