  • 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.

    THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY BY DOUGLAS ADAMS 2001 HANOMAG D OCUMENT VERSION 1.0 C OPYRIGHT © DOUGLAS A DAMS for Jonny Brock and Clare Gorst and all other Arlingtonians for tea, sympathy, and a sofa Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape- descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy. And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans. And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, one girl sitting on her own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place.

    UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ PHYSICS AND METAPHYSICS IN THE HITCHHIKER SERIES (1979-1992) BY DOUGLAS ADAMS A Pro Gradu Thesis By Kalle Häkkänen The English Language 2006 HUMANISTINEN TIEDEKUNTA KIELTEN LAITOS Kalle Häkkänen Physics and metaphysics in the Hitchhiker series (1979-1992) by Douglas Adams Pro gradu-tutkielma Englannin kieli Toukokuu 2006 81 sivua Tutkielman tarkoitus on osoittaa että Douglas Adamsin (1952-2001) humoristinen science fiction-kirjasarja The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1979-1992) on saanut runsaasti vaikutteita 1900-luvun teoreettisesta fysiikasta, erityisesti Albert Einsteinin suhteellisuusteorioista ja kvanttimekaniikasta. Brian Greenen The Elegant Universe (2000), Stephen Hawkingin The Universe in a Nutshell (2001) ja Peter Coveneyn ja Roger Highfieldin The Arrow of Time (1991) ovat teoreettisen fysiikan saavutuksia popularisoiden kuvaavia kirjoja. Niiden esittelemiä fysiikan teorioita verrataan Adamsin kirjasarjassa esiintyviin tapahtumiin, ja teorioiden vaikutus kirjasarjaan pyritään osoittamaan. Lisäksi, Helge Kraghin Quantum Generations (1999) toimii käsiteltyjen fysiikan teorioiden syntyajankohtaa tarkentavana hakuteoksena. Tutkielma pyrkii myös kumoamaan Adamsin väitteen jonka mukaan yhtäläisyydet hänen kirjasarjansa tapahtumien ja tieteellisten teorioiden välillä ovat täysin sattumanvaraisia. Väitteen kumoamista oikeutetaan mainitsemalla joitakin M.J. Simpsonin Douglas Adams-elämäkerrassaan Hitchhiker (2003) listaamia väritettyjä tarinoita, joita Adams kertoi itsestään. Tutkielman rakenne on kolmiosainen.

  • The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
    Review: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy When I was studying in college, the smart guys in my class used to read a particular kind of books. Some of these books were ‘The Lord of the Rings’ by JRR Tolkien (before it became a movie and was read by everyone else), novels by P.G.Wodehouse, ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, ‘2001 : A Space Odyssey’ by Arthur C. Clarke, ‘One, Two, Three…Infinity’ by George Gamov, ‘The Fountainhead’ by Ayn Rand and ‘Zen and the Art of Motocycle Maintenance’ by Robert M. Pirsig. (In case you are curious, I have read the first part of the first book of ‘The Lord of the Rings’, a few novels by P.G.Wodehouse, ‘One, Two, Three…Infinity’ and ‘2001 : A Space Odyssey’ in later years, many years after I finished college. I haven’t read the others yet.) One of these books was Douglas Adams’ ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’. It looked to me like a book which combined science fiction and humour and I wondered how that combination might work. But I never got around to reading it. Later, after I went to work, I saw all the books in the Hitchhiker’s series in one omnibus volume. I read the blurb and the premise of the series was quite interesting and so I thought I will get it. I carried it with me as I moved cities and countries, but never read it. Finally all the stars got aligned last week. The book club that I am part of, decided to read this book this month, and so I took it down from my shelf and read it.
