Clarke Centre for Human Imagination at the University of California San Diego.Much of the web-available multimedia about this project is lost to time and linkrot, unfortunately, but there's a very nice write-up at this fan-run KSR site.You can still find a YouTube version of the audio here.As mentioned in the show credits, the “Into the Impossible” podcast later developed into something very different, platforming far-right whackjobs, climate deniers, TESCREALists, that kind of thing, along with lots of presumably credible scientists, so: be warned. I'm not clear on how the early “Into the Impossible” podcasts with the Clarke Centre transitioned to the later, longer-running show with Brian Keating; just don't want to accidentally contribute to any of you going down a brain-worm-inducing YouTube/podcast-algo spiral.Leyna Krow's Sinkhole, and Other Inexplicable VoidsTom Godwin's “The Cold Equations”“Wherever you go, there you are.”KSR's 2312 and New York 2140Sofia Samatar's The Practice, the Horizon, and the ChainTheodore McComb's UraniansGene Wolfe's Book of the Long SunStephen H.

In this week's show we interview the legendary British science fiction author Charlie Stross. From Accelerando through to the Laundry Files we talk through how politics and social dynamics of our day tend to inform science fiction and why science fiction authors should be thought of as hi-brow entertainers rather than particularly gifted seers of the future. And yet, we get into why sci-fi authors tend to be fairly good at forecasting too. 

Key Insights:* Finally, at long last, over the next two generations the tide is likely to be flowing strongly toward near-universal global development...* The fear was that dehyperglobalization would rob poorer countries of their ability to develop the export comparative advantages to support the manufacturing engineering clusters they need for learning by doing, establishing a good educational system, and converging to global North standards of living...* This fear appears to have been very overblown...* Optimism about future income growth and globalization is warranted because India has more people in it than Africa: the Asia Circle from Japan to Pakistan and down to Indonesia and up to Mongolia is and always has been half the human race. And South Asia and Southeast Asia are now in gear...* As long as dealing with global warming does not absorb too many of the resources that could otherwise be devoted to income growth...* This is true even though the great wave of increasing international trade intensity and integration that began in 1945 came to an end in 2008...* Even so, since 2008 there has still been increasing global integration in the flow of ideas and the growing interdependence of value chains...* A substantial part of the post-2008 reversal of globalization was partially due to China onshoring its supply chains—the pre-2008 situation in which China's manufacturing knowledge was vastly behind its manufacturing intensity was highly unstable...* This, however, hinges sufficient state capacity—which is not just the ability to do infrastructure and reorganize your economy, but also have people's stuff not get stolen from them either by local thieves or by government functionaries...* Distributional issues are another potential key blockage—the benefits of technological change flow to the global north, or to a small predatory internal élite, or the market economy's distribution goes spontaneously awry...* But there is the question of how much distribution matters in a rich world where few are starving—matters for social power, yes, and for whatever happinesses flow from that, but does distribution matter otherwise?* Countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America may be stubborn development problems for generations, however...* That beside, the basic mission of industrialization to uplift the human world out of poverty is likely to be complete by 2050 if we are lucky, by 2100 if we are not...* There is good reason to think that the next generation will be for the world better and more impressive than the last generation. And the last generation was, on a world scale, you know, better and more impressive than was the post-WWII Thirty Glorious Years in the North Atlantic...* Future guests, possibly?: Dietz Vollrath, Arvind Subramanian, Charlie Stross...References:* Fourastié, Jean. 1979.

I've been wanting to do an episode on fanfic since I started this podcast. My recent rediscovery of the long-gone (but not forgotten) series Carnivale made me realize I couldn't put it off any longer.

Skriva fantastik - Tor.com's Nielsen Hayden & Ellen Kushner Vässa pennorna och fantasin, för nu handlar om att skriva fantasy och science fiction! Från Tor.com, SFF-portal och eminent förlag, besöker oss Patrick och Teresa Nielsen Hayden. Dessa erfarna redaktörer har arbetat med bl.a. John Scalzi, Jo Walton , Cory Doctorow och Charlie Stross och guidar oss nu i sf-författandets universum. Vi hör också inspelningen från panelsamtalet "Writing LGBT in fantasy - Ellen Kushner & Delia Sherman" från Stockholm den 17 augusti 2017. Med höviskhet, värjor och en homosexuell huvudperson skrev Kushner med Swordspoint från 1987 in sig i fantasyhistorien. Idag är hon fantasyredaktör och skriver vidare om klanen Tremontaines öden, med sin fru och författare som Malinda Lo och Joel Derfner. Daniel tipsar om spel för den som vill berätta och gestalta tillsammans med familj, barn och vänner. Den röda tråden håller Gabriella i tillsammans med Maths Claesson, bokhandlare och författare med fötterna i Gamla Stan och tankarna i rymden. Vi berättar vad som fångar oss, vad vi ställer bort oläst och tipsar om hantverksböcker för aspirerande författare. 00:00:00 Programpresentation 00:01:03 Ett bokhandlarliv - Maths Claesson (Linux Uttagningen) 00:08:17 Interview: Teresa & Patrick Nielsen Hayden 00:44:41 Knep, knåp & att synas på hyllan 00:53:29 Speltips - When I Dream, ADventure Land, Äventyr 00:56:19 Böcker om att skriva & NaNoWriMo 00:59:51 Writing LGBT in fantasy - Ellen Kushner & Delia Sherman 01:43:59 Avslutning Våra tips: King, Stephen - On Writing / Att skriva Jordan, Robert - The Wheel of Time McHugh, Maureen - China Mountan Zhang Walton, Jo - Among Others Nielsen Hayden, Teresa - Making Book, Making Conversation Papashvily George and Helen - Anything can happen Spufford, Francis - Red Plenty Zelazny, Roger - The Great Book of Amber When I Dream (spel) Adventure Land (spel) Sagospelet Äventyr Grundbox (spel) Marks, Laurie - Elemental Logic LeGuin, Ursula - Steering the Craft Bradbury, Ray - Zen in the Art of Writing Kushner, Ellen - Swordspoint Sherman, Delia - Changeling / Neef och Bortbytingen Länkar: Tor.com Making Light - http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/ Inlägget "Slushkiller" - http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/004641.html Locus Magazine - locusmag.com NaNoWriMo.org - National Novel Writing Month Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers' Workshop - http://clarion.ucsd.edu/ Ellen Kushner - https://twitter.com/ellenkushner

Şubat ayında Londra'da Picocon 2014'de yapılan Charlie Stross GoH konuşması, Charlie'nin izniyle karşılarınızda!

Ninfa gets all Shakespearean and reviews Stacey Jay's Juliet Immortal; Ed gets all freaked out and talks about Charlie Stross's Hugo winning novella, Equoid. Producer AL helps the team breakdown the Hugo winners and we all discuss the ongoing books news. This week's interview is Anna Kashina and the extract is from Danie Ware's Ecko series. All recordings are issued under official license from Fab Radio International. The Bookworm is a Truly Outrageous Production.

Cory Doctorow (@doctorow) is a essayist, novelist, blogger, and co-editor of BoingBoing, and he is exhausting. The man is a production machine, churning out excellent book after excellent book as if writing were a job instead of something to agonize and procrastinate over. As of this writing, his latest books are Homeland and Pirate Cinema, and, with Charlie Stross, he wrote Rapture of the Nerds. Cory has also long been an advocate for the personal ownership of culture, demanding corporations and governments keep their hands off what we make and their noses out of our individual use and modification of media and hardware. To that end, he has fought endless wars against restrictive legislation.
