Podcast appearances and mentions of John Brunner

This month we read Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner. It was long! DM: Lori Music by Pets of Belonging Transcript library  Little Red Reviewer TV Tropes  

Avec David Peyron, Zelda de DoctriZ et Raphaël ColsonAnimation : Xavier Dollo Ils nous viennent immédiatement en tête : Motorball, Blood bawl, Rollerball, Rug-ball… Beaucoup des sports imaginés par la science-fiction se résument à une itération du rugby ou du football américain, où tous les coups seraient désormais permis. Car points et chocs sont extrêmement nombreux dans ces sports brutaux dont le show doit provoquer une jouissance immédiate, sans que le spectateur n'ait à comprendre les raisons de cette violence ainsi exposée. Hors des sports de balle, on trouvera aussi de nombreux avatars de la course de chars mécaniques, de courses-poursuites sans merci, et bien sûr de purs affrontements entre gladiateurs du futur, dans des arènes ou des dômes de tonnerre. Les auteur·ice·s de science-fiction, pourtant si inventifs, manqueraient-ils d'imagination quand il s'agit d'aborder la question du sport ? Il faut chercher plus loin, en incluant jeux vidéos, séries TV, manga… pour que s'offre à nous un éventail plus diversifié d'activités imaginaires transcendant les frontières du réel : le blitzball de Final Fantasy X, les danses hypnotiques de Sur l'onde de choc de John Brunner, le complexe Greed island de Hunter x Hunter ou encore l'étonnant Lo-Yendi de La Balade Choreïale d'Ayerdhal… Des inventions qui traversent parfois le voile de la fiction, lorsque des jeux intradiégétiques tels que le Gwynt de The Witcher se voient commercialisés, ou que le fandom s'approprie le quidditch de Harry Potter – version moldue et non-volante. Réunissant quatre passionné·e·s de pop culture à l'esprit de synthèse affirmé, cette première table-ronde tentera l'impossible : réconcilier les Geeks et les Jocks ! Table ronde dans le cadre de la 12e édition du festival Les Intergalactiques "Du Pain et des Jeux" le vendredi 19 avril 2024.

It is the final episode of the 1960s! Join Catherine and her returning guest Kyle as they discuss the absurdity of Stand on Zanzibar. They talk about John Brunner's distinctive style of writing chapters where every sentence is about a different character, the possibilities of a sci-fi world where the world's happiest country is in Africa, technology that can put anything into someone's brain, and if humanity is doomed now that everyone in the world can not stand on Zanzibar.

Encounter the powerful ministry of John the Baptist, who preaches a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy. Multitudes come to him, and John challenges them to live ethically, share with the needy, and act justly. Tax collectors and soldiers ask for guidance, and John instructs them on fair conduct. He foretells the coming of one mightier than himself, who will baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire, emphasizing the impending judgment. John also boldly rebukes Herod for his unlawful marriage, leading to his imprisonment. This passage prepares the way for Jesus' ministry by calling for genuine repentance and highlighting the transformative power of the Messiah.  The Rev. Dr. John Brunner, pastor emeritus, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Luke 3:1-20.  The Gospel of Luke, filled with rich narratives and detailed accounts, offers an inspired and historical perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus. Emphasizing Jesus' concern for the poor, outcasts, and social justice, this Gospel narrates parables and miracles that underscore the theme of God's salvation for all people. Luke's account is unique in its inclusion of the birth of John the Baptist, the parable of the Good Samaritan, and the story of the Prodigal Son, culminating in a vivid portrayal of Jesus' death and resurrection, affirming the universal offer of redemption. This Gospel serves as an invitation to understand the depth of God's love and the breadth of His grace extended to humanity through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

If there is a cursed episode of this podcast it is this one. Sparked by an argument on Twitter started when I declared John Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar the best SF novel of the 20th century. Multiple people responded saying it wasn't their favorite of the year. I invited all the people who weighed in and trying to schedule 4 time zones and five people's schedules proved impossible. So it ended but three people instead six. I tried. Lisa returning two episodes brings it of course and Brian Collins of SF Remembrance blog does a wonderful job helping me guide the conversation on Science Fiction in 1968.  In this episode, we talk about the culture in 1968, the state of the SF community, which books were nominated for the two major awards, where the conventions were held, and deep into the books of that year. Those deep dives include Picnic in Paradise by Joanna Russ, Camp Concentration by Thomas Disch, Nova by Samuel R. Delany, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by PKD, and Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner.

Tous à Zanzibar est-il le roman le plus visionnaire de l'histoire de la SF ? Rarement un livre de science-fiction se déroulant dans les années 2010 aura été aussi prophétique.  Entre 1968 à 1975, John Brunner va dessiner une fresque effrayante de l'avenir. Cette tétralogie noire traitera de la surpopulation (Tous à Zanzibar), du racisme et de la militarisation de la société (L'Orbite Déchiquetée) sans oublier la destruction de l'environnement et le changement climatique (Le Troupeau Aveugle) ainsi que la surveillance généralisée et l'informatique (Sur l'Onde de Choc).  Tous à Zanzibar a également marqué les esprits par la forme de son roman. John Brunner va s'inspirer de John Dos Passos et de sa trilogie USA. Il reprend ce mode de narration éclatée. Il y a 121 séquences qui sont divisées en quatre séries. Les Contextes racontent les contours de cette société en se basant sur des documents d'un sociologue imaginaire (Chad Mulligan).  Le Monde en Marche  évoque à travers des articles de multiples détails sur la société. Les Jalons et les Portraits brossent des portraits des différents personnages du roman ou personnalités. Enfin, la partie Continuité permet de suivre l'intrigue qui mêle espionnage industriel, complot, manipulation et néo-colonialisme.  Ancêtre du Cyberpunk, Tous à Zanzibar reste un texte majeur à (re)découvrir.   Spécialiste de John Brunner, Patrick Moran, revient sur ce classique ! Il a préfacé et dirigé les deux intégrales de l'auteur aux éditions Mnémos : https://mnemos.com/livres/les-planetaires-integrale/  

Barry N. Malazberg and his multiple Science Fiction personalities were on the frontlines as eras shifted from Asimovian ideas to a counter-culture middle finger held high novels filled with sex, drugs, and political points of view. One of his weirdest meta- SF novels was the thin 1974 masterpiece Galaxies. The novel is the story of a 40th-century starship captain and the science fiction writer creating her and the novel at the same time. Galaxies was reprinted a few years ago by Professor D. Harlan Wilson's Anti-Oedipus Press. So who better to join me for this discussion... In this episode, we talk about why Barry Malzberg is a genius, underrated, and vastly more important to 20th-century Science Fiction than given credit for. Why he alone was in a position to make this commentary, we go on tangents about Philip K. Dick, John Brunner and some on this panel argue that Ursula K. Leguin is overrated. D. Harlan Wilson is a researcher, publisher, and author. His fiction includes a dozen novels and plays including Dr. Idenity and Jackanape and the Fingerman. His non-fiction includes the Modern Masters of Science Fiction series book on J.G. Ballard and a critical companion to the Stars, My Destination. James Reich is the author of Soft Invasions and The Song My Enemies Sing. These are two of my favorite writers and I loved every stinking minute spent talking with them, I hope you will too. •You can find my books here: Amazon-https://www.amazon.com/David-Agranoff/e/B004FGT4ZW •And me here: Goodreads-http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2988332.David_Agranoff Twitter-https://twitter.com/DAgranoffAuthor Blog-http://davidagranoff.blogspot.com/

The Rev. Dr. John Brunner, pastor emeritus and former District President of the Eastern District LCMS, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Exodus 12:29-51. This section concludes the narrative which began in chapter 11. Namely, the 10th and final plague is completed, YHWH is fully victorious over the false gods of the Egyptians, and Pharaoh lets the Hebrews go. Israel's 430 years of sojourning in Egypt have come to an end and Moses is vindicated. Unleavened bread appears again as a sign, this time of haste. Will there now be no more hardships for God's people? It's the true story of God reaching down into history and, through an unlikely prophet, redeeming his chosen people from slavery. It's the story of Exodus, but it's also the story of us all. How through Christ, God has liberated us from sin, death, and the Devil. Don't miss this chapter-by-chapter study of the Book of Exodus on Thy Strong Word.

Episode 19 : L'environnement et les fictions de l'imaginaire Ariel Kyrou, invité vedette de cette émission Gaïa se meurt ! L'urgence environnementale est désormais un thème récurrent qui rythme nos vies : réchauffement climatique, artificialisation des sols, montée des eaux, pollutions, risques nucléaires, extinction d'un grand nombre d'espèces vivantes. L'humanité fonce droit dans le mur. La prise de conscience a gagné du terrain, mais elle n'est pas encore généralisée.Face à ce désastre, que nous disent les fictions de l'imaginaire ? Elles n'ont pas attendu les accords de Paris pour nous parler d'environnement. Nous revenons ici sur leur rôle de lanceur d'alerte, mais également sur la diversité des solutions mises en lumière. Sur la question environnementale, les créateurs de fiction se politisent et viennent se heurter aux discours politiques et économiques. Invité Ariel Kyrou, journaliste et essayiste, grand spécialiste du traitement de la thématique environnementale dans les littératures de l'imaginaire. On lui doit notamment l'ouvrage Dans les imaginaires du futur publié chez ActuSF.

Hello Dickheads. This time around David and friends discuss the in's and out's of the John Brunner classic The Sheep Look Up. A novel that has been called the most accurate prediction in science fiction of the world we currently live in. From ecological disaster to a reality star president, it can all be found in this tale of an ecological dystopia that some would say hits a little too close to home.

Deep space explorers encountering strange new dangers. Mutant powers hidden among us. Futuristic societies with surprising moralities. Cutting edge technology bringing unexpected dilemmas for the people who use it. Created by the pioneering television producer Irene Shubik and featuring some of the leading talents on television on both sides of the lens, Out of the Unknown remains one of the BBC's best science fiction series. Drawing on stories from SF masters such as Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, John Wyndham and John Brunner, as well as original scripts, it remains one of television's most sustained attempts to adapt the mood of literary science fiction. Gareth Preston is joined by Stephen Hatcher and Dylan Rees to discuss the series, which sadly is missing half its episodes, yet what remains is still thrilling and challenging. Along the way they pay particular attention to three key episodes: The Dead Past, Some Lapse of Time and The Machine Stops.

In past episodes, I've discussed science fiction stories as tools to predict the future. H.G Wells wrote about atomic bombs and the fallout – thirty years before Nagasaki and Hiroshima. In 1968, John Brunner predicted the European Union, China's rise to power, and Detroit's economic downfall.   You can probably take any existing technology and find […]

Sumner welcomes the world's greatest living fantasy author, Michael Moorcock, back to Hard Agree for the latest installment in their ongoing series of conversations about Michael's life and work. In this second episode, Sumner & Moorcock discuss Mike's wild ride through Hollywood – including working with Irvin Kershner, Peter Weir's high-level conjuring ability, the limitations of Ray Harryhausen movies, meeting the extremely-tall Christopher Lee, scripting The Land That Time Forgot for Amicus, the brilliance & charisma of Doug McClure, working with underrated director Kevin Connor and partying with Milton Subotsky, JG Ballard, Max J Rosenberg & John Brunner. They wrap up with a discussion of Donald A Wollheim's massive contribution to the global fantasy genre, the unsung greatness of Piccadilly Cowboy authors George G Gilman & JT Edson – and Moorcock's evaluation of Eric Clapton vs Eric Burdon.

Auteur d'un essai en forme de réservoir à fictions vitales pour bricoler l'après, ce journaliste parisien milite pour l'éco-anarchisme des romans d'Ursula K. Le Guin, John Brunner et Ernest Callenbach.« Ce livre est peut-être la chose la plus importante qui soit arrivée à la science-fiction hexagonale depuis les fulgurances inoubliables de Serge Lehman. » Alain Damasio ne tarit pas d'éloges, à mi-parcours dudit ouvrage, à propos du dernier essai d'Ariel Kyrou, Dans les imaginaires du futur, qui vient de paraître aux éditions Actu SF. Fidèle à sa fièvre de contestation des impasses politiques et des formatages de toute obédience, l'auteur de La Horde du Contrevent détaille, le temps d'une « volte-face », la noble intention de ce pavé rose et blanc de 600 pages : comprendre, à travers l'examen érudit de romans, films, séries ou bandes dessinées d'anticipation, lesquels ne se contentent pas de nous divertir ou de reconduire en pire les schémas existants, mais offrent « armes de jet et lignes de fuite pour se construire un avenir» ou « décheniller les tanks de ce néolibéralisme inepte» ; ceux qui produisent « un imaginaire du dérangeant, du dégenré, intranquille et secouant, perclus de trous de ver, de percées vers le possible, caffi d'espoirs aussi. » Bref : des futurs désirables, comme ceux qui bourgeonnent au quotidien sur la proue de ce podcast.C'est pourquoi, devant cette généreuse caisse à outils fictionnels pour-bricoler-l'après, la tentation de tendre le micro à Ariel Kyrou fut à peu près irrésistible. Rédac' chef adjoint du magazine Actuel de 1989 à 1993, cet essayiste parisien, spécialiste de Philip K. Dick et directeur éditorial du Laboratoire des solidarités (solidarum.org), nous fait parvenir aujourd'hui le dernier module d'une série de cinq chroniques consacrées aux « utopies lucides, terrestres et anarchistes ».« N'oublions pas que le texte fondateur du genre, L'Utopie de Thomas More, publié en 1516, décrit une île ayant opéré une sécession radicale vis-à-vis de la société, de façon à abolir l'argent et la propriété. Propriétaires et profiteurs en sont donc chassés, et sommés de ne jamais y remettre les pieds », rappelle Kyrou dans son ouvrage, en précisant que tout ceci ne se fait pas sans violence. À bord de notre Arche, il évoque trois romans éco-anarchistes et solidaires : Les Dépossédés de l'Américaine Ursula K. Le Guin (1974), qui tente de « supprimer la souffrance sociale » ; Sur l'onde de choc de l'Ecossais John Brunner (1975) où « tout le monde semble prêt à tout le monde » ; Ecotopia de l'Américain Ernest Callenbach (1975), où « le chaos financier doit être délibérément organisé ». On reste comme possédé par cet extrait des Dépossédés, cité dans son livre par Ariel : « … Si c'est vers le futur que vous vous tournez, alors je vous dis qu'il faut aller vers lui les mains vides. Vous devez y aller seuls, et nus, comme l'enfant qui vient au monde, qui entre dans son propre futur, sans aucun passé, sans rien posséder, un futur dont la vie dépend entièrement des autres gens. Vous ne pouvez pas prendre ce que vous n'avez pas donné et c'est vous-même que vous devez donner. »Pour écouter la précédente utopie d'Ariel Kyrou, c'est ici : https://www.nova.fr/podcast/larche-de-nova/ariel-kyrou-45-demain-nous-accueillerons-le-migrant-radical-lextraterrestreImage : Arnold Schwarzenegger et Paul Verhoeven sur le tournage de Total Recall, de Paul Verhoeven (1990).

Matt Black has been intrigued by computers since reading "The Shockwave Rider" from a bookmobile in his small English village of his youth. Since then, he has created scratch mixes from a set of decks across London warehouse parties in the late 1980s, pirate radio, become the band Coldcut, created major hits, launched the label Ninja Tune, and developed mad programming skills. He builds what he calls "software instruments" for the iPad and (when he can) Android, expanding this year from Ninja Jam to JammPro, letting artists make their own tracks.   Guest: Matt Black, Co-Founder, Ninja Tune; Member of the band Coldcut Matt Black is half of legendary DJ duo and multimedia pop group Coldcut, formed in 1987, and founders of Ninja Tune, the UK  label. In 2020, Ninja Tune celebrates 30 years as one of the world’s leading electronic music labels and a beacon for the independent music spirit. In 2017 Coldcut celebrated 30 years in electronic music with a string of gigs releases and special projects. A new album is coming in 2020.   For over 28 years as part of Coldcut he has combined cutting edge artistic expression with positive activist themes in such pieces as Journeys by DJ, The Only Way is Up, People Hold On, Stop This Crazy Thing, Timber, Panopticon, Re:volution, Energy Union, Walk a Mile, True Skool, and many more. Coldcut have worked with a wild range of artists, activists and other groups and luminaries eg Steve Reich, James Brown, Mark  E Smith, Queen Latifah, Jello Biafra, Saul Williams, Robert Owens, Lisa Stansfield, Crass, Roots Manuva, Lee Scratch Perry, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Greenpeace, and Avaaz. In 2011 Matt designed the iOS app Ninja Jamm, Ninjatune's first music app which has had over 600,000 downloads; in 2020 the new advanced version Jamm Pro has been released. In 2017 2 more apps he designed were released: Pixi a visual synth, and Robbery a satirical video game. Midivolve, a music software collaboration with Ableton was released July 2017. The Zen Delay hardware unit released 2019 was also his co-creation. At Splice festival 2017 Matt showcased his experiments with Style Transfer, a cutting edge new style of visual processing using AI techniques. For his AV show, done in conjunction with his wife filmmaker Dinaz Stafford, Jamm triggers visual clips so every sound has a matching visual.  Matt collaborated with artist Wolfgang Buttress (the Hive, Kew) for BEAM AV installation Glastonbury 2019.

Binge on sushi with award-winning author Pat Cadigan as we discuss what it was like being Robert A. Heinlein's liaison at the 1976 Kansas City Worldcon, why John Brunner hated her when they first met and what she did to eventually win him over, her secret childhood life as a member of The Beatles, what she and Isaac Asimov had in common when it came to convincing parents to accept science fiction, her original plan to grow up and script Legion of Super-Heroes comics, what she learned about writing from her 10 years at Hallmark Cards, how editor Shawna McCarthy helped birth her first novel, what effect being dubbed the Queen of Cyberpunk had on her career, who's Thelma and who's Louise in her Thelma and Louise relationship with editor Ellen Datlow, our joint friendships with Gardner Dozois, how she came up with her stories in the Wild Cards universe, and much more.

Mike recaps the second third of John Brunner's scifi novel, The Infinitive Of Go. In it, we learn Justin and Cinnamon's relationship is totes normal, the true sign of benevolence is a goatee, and world peace can be achieved with pancakes.   — Goodreads summary of the book: CODE NAME POSTER The first practical matter transmitter was a success, or so everyone thought. In spite of paranoid security restrictions, Justin Williams and Cinnamon Wright, co-inventors of the device, counted on it to revolutionize civilization and gain them an honored place in history. But the first long-distance field test with a human being—a diplomatic courier carrying a vital message—somehow misfired when the courier killed himself on arrival at his destination. To prove his faith in his invention—and to escape charges of sabotage—Justin had himself "posted" thousands of miles. He came through unchanged. It was the world that was somehow different... — Support the show: Thanks to our sponsor, Audible, for giving our listeners a free audiobook through Audibletrial.com/pulp! -- Follow and chat with us on social media: Twitter: @33_Pulp Instagram: @33pulp Facebook: @33pulppage Web: 33pulp.com -- Credits: Episode Editor: Daniel Sound effects: Charm by Scrampunk and Success by Grunz

On this week's edition of the Politically Speaking podcast, St. Louis Public Radio's Jason Rosenbaum and Jo Mannies interview one of the many Republicans considering a bid for governor in 2016 – John Brunner.

This week we return, without guests, to a topic with which we have annoyed listeners in podcasts for years—the idea of SF canon formation: who gets dropped from the canon, who gets added, and whether such things as Hugo nominations make any difference at all. The decade between 1985 and 1995 (20-30 years ago now), saw the deaths of many of the writers who helped establish much of the "classic" SF canon — Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Theodore Sturgeon, Frank Herbert, Alfred Bester, Fritz Leiber, John Brunner, Roger Zelazny, James Tiptree Jr, Cliffard Simak, Lester del Rey, Philip K. Dick, C.L. Moore, and more. Who among them are still being discovered by new readers, and which writers and books in the last 20 years are likely candidates for a future canon? Does it take 50 years or more to determine what is canonical? Are Hugos any sort of reliable guide? And what difference do canons make anyway, beyond collective lists of personal favorites? We also have decided, as announced in the podcast, to officially support the Helsinki in 2017 and Dublin in 2019 WorldCon bids. Coode St endorses these conventions, will be buying memberships to them, and will attend should they be successful. Both Gary and Jonathan are eager to be part of major international WorldCon events like 2014's Loncon. We hope you'll join us in supporting these great bids. We hope you enjoy this week's episode. Next week: Paolo Bacigalupi and The Water Knife!
