  • The Apocalyptic Book List
    The Apocalyptic Book List Presented by: The Post Apocalyptic Forge Compiled by: Paul Williams ([email protected]) As with other lists compiled by me, this list contains material that is not strictly apocalyptic or post apocalyptic, but that may contain elements that have that fresh roasted apocalyptic feel. Because I have not read every single title here and have relied on other peoples input, you may on occasion find a title that is not appropriate for the intended genre....please do let me know and I will remove it, just as if you find a title that needs to be added...that is appreciated as well. At the end of the main book list you will find lists for select series of books. Title Author 8.4 Peter Hernon 905 Tom Pane 2011, The Evacuation of Planet Earth G.

  • Mirrorshade Women: Feminism and Cyberpunk
    Mirrorshade Women: Feminism and Cyberpunk at the Turn of the Twenty-first Century Carlen Lavigne McGill University, Montréal Department of Art History and Communication Studies February 2008 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Studies © Carlen Lavigne 2008 2 Abstract This study analyzes works of cyberpunk literature written between 1981 and 2005, and positions women’s cyberpunk as part of a larger cultural discussion of feminist issues. It traces the origins of the genre, reviews critical reactions, and subsequently outlines the ways in which women’s cyberpunk altered genre conventions in order to advance specifically feminist points of view. Novels are examined within their historical contexts; their content is compared to broader trends and controversies within contemporary feminism, and their themes are revealed to be visible reflections of feminist discourse at the end of the twentieth century. The study will ultimately make a case for the treatment of feminist cyberpunk as a unique vehicle for the examination of contemporary women’s issues, and for the analysis of feminist science fiction as a complex source of political ideas. Cette étude fait l’analyse d’ouvrages de littérature cyberpunk écrits entre 1981 et 2005, et situe la littérature féminine cyberpunk dans le contexte d’une discussion culturelle plus vaste des questions féministes. Elle établit les origines du genre, analyse les réactions culturelles et, par la suite, donne un aperçu des différentes manières dont la littérature féminine cyberpunk a transformé les usages du genre afin de promouvoir en particulier le point de vue féministe.

  • Guest Editorial by Kathleen Ann Goonan
    GUEST EDITORIAL Kathleen Ann Goonan TEACHING SCIENCE FICTION, or Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? Everyone has a hunger for science fiction—astronauts, elementary school children and university students, girls and boys, women and men—people of every age, back- ground, and occupation throughout the world. But what is SF? Galaxy-spanning space opera? Alternate history? Elegantly rea- soned philosophical fictions through which humans, or human stand-ins, such as aliens, explore the myriad possibilities that scientific thinking and technological cre- ativity have wrought? Science fiction is all of these and more. Definitions of science fiction pop up like mushrooms after a rain. I prefer Isaac Asi- mov’s: “Science fiction can be defined as that branch of literature which deals with the reaction of human beings to changes in science and technology.” And I will add that SF is a literature that addresses the questions Gauguin set forth as the title of his fa- mous painting, Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? I have been engaging students with science fictional thinking at Georgia Tech since 2010, when I was invited by Lisa Yaszek, Director of Undergraduate Studies in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, a distinguished SF scholar and the driving force behind LMC’s science fiction program, to teach. The hunger for SF is especially strong in the students I instruct at Georgia Tech. Perhaps it is because they are, in no small measure, learning, creating, and living SF in the Aerospace Systems Design Lab, a renowned robotics lab, through weekly nan- otech research talks, and by investigating the history of science and technology—not in isolation, but seen as arising from and concurrently driving culture.
