  • (Murderbot Diaries 06) Martha Wells No, I Didn't Kill the Dead Human. If I
    Fugitive Telemetry (Murderbot Diaries 06) Martha Wells No, I didn’t kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn’t dump the body in the station mall. When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people – who knew?) Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans! Again! This sixth entry into the series is a standalone novella, set before All Systems Red. Love, love, love it! Cannot recommend highly enough! (If you want one, but we don’t have any in the shop – please, do order one, to stake your claim on the stock we will receive!) If you haven’t read the preceding books in Wells’ fab series – then start with All Systems Red (HC, $29.99) (see #2). Science fiction novella | HC | $29.99 All Systems Red (Murderbot Diaries 01) Martha Wells In a corporate-dominated, spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ’droid – a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though, never out loud) as ‘Murderbot’.

  • Ballard's Story of O: ‘The Voices of Time’ and the Quest for (Non)Identity
    Ballard's Story of O: ‘The Voices of Time’ and the Quest for (Non)Identity Item Type Book Chapter Authors Wymer, Rowland Publisher Palgrave Macmillan Download date 04/10/2021 07:04:47 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/2384/295021 Pre-print copy. For the final version, see: Wymer, R. , 2012. ‘Ballard’s Story of O: “The Voices of Time” and the Quest for (Non)Identity’. In Jeannette Baxter and Rowland Wymer, eds. 2012. J. G. Ballard: Visions and Revisions. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, ch. 1, pp. 19-34. Chapter One Ballard’s Story of O: ‘The Voices of Time’ and the Quest for (Non)Identity Rowland Wymer ‘The Voices of Time’ (1960) is the finest of Ballard’s early stories, an enigmatic but indisputable masterpiece which marks the first appearance of a number of favourite Ballard images (a drained swimming-pool, a mandala, a collection of ‘terminal documents’) and prefigures the ‘disaster’ novels in its depiction of a compulsively driven male protagonist searching for identity (or oblivion) within a disturbingly changed environment. Its importance to Ballard himself was confirmed by its appearance in the title of his first collection of short fiction, The Voices of Time and Other Stories (1962), and by his later remark that it was the story by which he would most like to be remembered.1 It was first published in the October 1960 issue of the science fiction magazine New Worlds alongside more conventional SF stories by James White, Colin Kapp, E. C. Tubb, and W. T. Webb. This was three-and-a-half years before Michael Moorcock took over the editorship of the magazine and inaugurated the ‘New Wave’ by aggressively promoting self- consciously experimental forms of speculative fiction.

My own small contribution to this legendary story has continued to be a source of great pride to me during my career, and although I have been fortunate enough to have many other projects to satisfy the artist in me, I have nevertheless always felt a deep and visceral connection to the show. But there are reasons why this never- ending story has endured. I have always believed that this special connection to Star Trek we all enjoy comes from the positive picture the stories consistently envision.

  • Trekonderoga 2018
    Special Guests Karl Urban Original Star Trek series fan and New Zealand-born actor Karl Urban actively pursued and won the role of Dr. Leonard McCoy on 2009’s motion picture named, appropriately enough, Star Trek. In his portrayal, Karl evoked many of the subtle mannerisms and vocalisms made famous by one DeForest Kelley of an earlier era – one could consider his performance as an ultimate fan tribute. Karl was interested in acting from a very early age, debuting at age 8 in the New Zealand television series Pioneer Woman. Internationally he appeared in both Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and its spin-off Xena: Warrior Princess, playing recurring roles in both American/New Zealand series. He eventually started working on Hollywood productions and in relatively no time was in big productions such as The Lord of the Rings, The Bourne Supremacy, The Chronicles of Riddick, and Doom. Hollywood press has speculated that he could have landed the role of “James Bond” had not previous film commitments gotten in the way (the role went to Daniel Craig). Other films he appeared in include Red, Dredd, The Loft, Pete’s Dragon, while Karl most recently appeared as “Skurge” in 2016’s Thor: Ragnarok. Karl is active on the convention circuit and makes his first bombshell appearance at this year’s edition of Trekonderoga! Be sure not to miss your opportunity to meet Karl onboard the original Enterprise – where else but in Sickbay, naturally – in a time-defying trip back to the original series sets with today’s Dr. McCoy! Appears Saturday & Sunday only Gates McFadden Not many Enterprise-D characters could call their Captain by his first name, but Doctor Beverly Crusher, memorably played by Gates McFadden, certainly could – and did.

  • Emerging Legal and Policy Trends in Recent Robot Science Fiction
    Emerging Legal and Policy Trends in Recent Robot Science Fiction Robin R. Murphy Computer Science and Engineering Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77845 [email protected] Introduction This paper examines popular print science fiction for the past five years (2013-2018) in which robots were essential to the fictional narrative and the plot depended on a legal or policy issue related to robots. It follows in the footsteps of other works which have examined legal and policy trends in science fiction [1] and graphic novels [2], but this paper is specific to robots. An analysis of five books and one novella identified four concerns about robots emerging in the public consciousness: enabling false identities through telepresence, granting robot rights, outlawing artificial intelligence for robots, and ineffectual or missing product liability. Methodolology for Selecting the Candidate Print Fiction While robotics is a popular topic in print science fiction, fictional treatments do not necessarily touch on legal or policy issues. Out of 44 candidate works, only six involved legal or policy issues. Candidates for consideration were identified in two ways. One, the nominees for the 2013-2018 Hugo and Nebulas awards were examined for works dealing with robots. The other was a query of science fiction robot best sellers at Amazon. A candidate work of fiction had to contain at least one robot that served either a character or contributed to the plot such that the robot could not be removed without changing the story. For example, in Raven Stratagem, robots did not appear to be more than background props throughout the book but suddenly proved pivotal to the ending of the novel.
