How about another in-depth, deep-diving, evergreen conversation about creative writing, finding success as we each define it, and staying healthy and sane in the process? In Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick 093, I speak with transcendental horror author and speculative poet Darius Jones. Our conversation covers the deeper, emotionally resonant value of horror and "weird" fiction, how Darius fills the "fiction-shaped void" in his soul, why the pandemic and a pair of astronomy binoculars led to publishing fantastical epic poetry, the value of rejection, the importance of meditation and stoicism, and...yep, a whole heck of a lot more. The conversation with Darius Jones was recorded on May 24th, 2023. The rest of this episode was recorded on August 23, 2023. About Darius Jones Darius Jones writes cosmic horror, weird fiction, dark fantasy -- or, taken together and as he likes to call it, transcendental horror, as well as speculative poetry and sometimes historical fiction. His stories and poems have appeared in Strange Horizons, The No Sleep Podcast, Starline Magazine, and elsewhere. He is a member of the Horror Writers Association, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association.

This week we wrap up our Contemporary Utopian Fiction series by discussing all the ways they are impossible. Impossible to take seriously. Impossible fits for the postmodern world. Impossible to dramatize in fiction. In this wide-ranging conversation we touch on Asimov, Thomas More, Paradise Lost, Camelot, and Eyad even spoils The Good Place for you (be forewarned!). For this series we read and discussed Toni Morrison's Paradise Jan 14-28, Mike Resnick's Kirinyaga Feb 4-18, and Ursula Le Guin's The Dispossessed Feb 25 - Mar 11. Next week we will begin our new series on Novels in Stories by reviewing Jennifer Egan's A Visit from the Goon Squad.

Colin and Phil recently found themselves reviewing Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama (1973) on another podcast - and were intrigued by a quote from author Mike Resnick, who said that James White's All Judgement Fled (1968) was "Rama done right". What is this other book, and why would one repsected author (Resnick) suggest that another respected author (White) had bested yet another respected author (Clarke)? We decided to investigate - and in this episode of Science Fiction 101 we tell you everything we learned. All Judgment Fled was first published in serialised form in the science fiction magazine Worlds of IF, edited by Fred Pohl, in 1967/8. IF was a sister magazine to Galaxy Science Fiction. Also in this episode: Clarkesworld publisher Neil Clarke responds to our review of his magazine! a science fiction character quiz Brandon Sanderson's record-breaking Kickstarter campaign Alfred Hitchcock's unfilmed science fiction movie We hope you enjoy the episode!

This week we dive into the central theme of the book-- anarchism-- and discuss whether or not it is still relevant 50 years after the publication of The Dispossessed. What does Le Guin have to say about anarchism? Is it specific to a particular school of anarchism? 1:05 What are the new forms of power explored in the book? 27:05 Is Shevek's research into the nature of time anarchist in any sense? 35:50 Kim Stanley Robinson says his and Le Guin's forms of leftist politics are different, but the differences don't matter. If they don't matter now, when do they matter? 43:10 For this series we read and discussed Toni Morrison's Paradise Jan 14-28, Mike Resnick's Kirinyaga Feb 4-18, and Ursula Le Guin's The Dispossessed Feb 25 - Mar 11.

The Dispossessed describes a radical political ideology but are there any aspects of this book that are, in fact, not radical? This week we look at this book from the point of view of linguistics, sexual politics and more. What is the novel saying about sexuality and the nuclear family?

Eyad leads this episode's discussion as we finish up our examinations of Resnick's utopian story cycle Kirinyaga. Does this book say anything about postcolonial African politics? (1:00) Why do readers feel upset when white writers write about black subject matter? (8:45) Are Western writers unable to represent other cultures in fiction?

This is week 2 of our discussion on Resnick's Kirinyaga. Ostensibly this collection is a fable but perhaps it shouldn't be labeled as such? And hey does this book remind anyone of our contemporary political landscape? These questions (and more!) as we talk about the problems in this work of utopian sci-fi. For this series we will read and discuss Toni Morrison's Paradise Jan 14-28, Mike Resnick's Kirinyaga Feb 4-18, and Ursula Le Guin's The Dispossessed Feb 25 - Mar 11.

Kirinyaga by Mike Resnick is an odd little book. It's about post-colonial Africa and the future of the Kikuyu, an ethnic group native to Kenya-- but it's written by a white man from the Midwest. The stories were published separately, but this book was sold as a linked collection. And is this really about utopias? This week we review one of the most awarded science fiction collections ever (if you don't believe this, Resnick will set you straight) and try to figure out if it's worth our time and yours. For this series we will read and discuss Toni Morrison's Paradise Jan 14-28, Mike Resnick's Kirinyaga Feb 4-18, and Ursula Le Guin's The Dispossessed Feb 25 - Mar 11.

This week we discuss Fox News' favorite bogeyman du jour, Critical Race Theory, and how it pertains to this novel. What does Critical Race Theory have to do with utopias?

Due to a scrivener’s error in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), Qualified Improvement Property ("QIP") was not designated as property with a useful life of 20 years or less, thus failing to qualify for the 100% bonus depreciation allowed in the TCJA. The CARES Act corrected this error retroactive to the TCJA enactment. Now that it’s been corrected, taxpayers must consider how to capture lost bonus depreciation.Last week, the IRS released Rev. Proc. 2020-25, which sets forth the procedures for taxpayers seeking to implement the CARES Act’s Technical Correction for QIP. The revenue procedure allows a range of alternatives addressing elections, amended returns, and accounting method changes. Eversheds Sutherland attorneys, Ellen McElroy and Mike Resnick will discuss these new rules with the author of the revenue procedure, Kathleen Reed, Branch Chief, Office of Chief Counsel (IRS), Income Tax & Accounting.
When Mike Resnick passed away on January 9th, Rish and Big knew they had to make one of his stories their next episode. Years ago, he'd sent them out a huge batch of Catastrophe Baker stories so that they could continue the series on the show. What better way to remember him than to put one of his creations out for fans to enjoy? Catastrophe Baker makes a trip to Silverstrike and while he's there, he attends a carnival. It's pretty ho-hum until he gets summoned to the tent of the Siren of Silverstrike to see the show that everyone is talking about. Afterward, Rish and Big talk about Mike Resnick and what he has meant to the science fiction community, the podcast community, and the Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine. We'll miss you, Mike.
This podcast collects three stories by Mike Resnick which appeared in Future SF over the course of 2019: A Typical Tale of Bloodlust and Conquest (issue 4)The Token (issue 2)Perfection (issue 1) Our goal is twofold: to honor Mike and his writing, but also to raise awareness of the GoFundMe campaign his family is running to pay off his remaining medical bills....

The full 2006 interview with science fiction author Mike Resnick. He talks about his many trips to Africa. “Almost no place that Burroughs describes exists,” he says. “My first four Hugo winners were all African stories. I've never been able to create any civilization as alien as some of the ones in Africa.” He discusses his many inspirations and his own success. Why science fiction pays the bills while you can starve writing “mainstream.” And much more in this wide-ranging interview. Mike tells a story about Isaac Asimov at a convention. Mike died on Jan. 9, 2020 at age 77. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/panthan-press/message

Jubileuminak kikiáltott adásunk ugyan semmilyen módon nem évfordul még egyelőre, viszont így is találunk alkalmat arra, hogy egy kicsit ünnepeljünk, és ezúttal nagyobb szerepet engedjünk a zenének. A mi életünket egyébként is meghatározza a zene, de ahhoz tényleg egy szikla alatt kell élni, hogy valaki semmit se tudjon Johann Sebastian Bachról. Ha mégis így lenne, akkor olvassátok el a wiki oldalát, tömör, de azért sok mindent megtudhattok a protestáns zene egy meghatározó alakjáról. Ha már zene, és a fonalat is fel kéne venni a múlt héthez képest, ígéretünket betartva kikutattuk a Red Dot Award odaítélésének mindenféle titkait, és kiderült, hogy léteznek olyan kategóriák, amelyekben mi is indulhatnánk. Az persze kérdéses, hogy hova ragasztanánk a matricát, ha kapnánk. Egy másfajta elismerést viszont már elnyertünk, a 20 perccel a jövőbe podcast nem csak hogy megemlített bennünket, de még aranyosak is vagyunk szerintük, amit köszönünk szépen, akárcsak a hírt amit nekünk küldtek, és a másikat amit csak elvettünk szépen, hogy kivesézzük. Félünk-e attól, hogy robotok elveszik a munkánkat? Japánban ugyanis már vannak robotistenek. Ez így kijelentve természetesen nem igaz, de kiindulópontnak nem volt rossz, ha még az elhangzottaknál is részletesebben érdekel, hogy ki az a Kannon, és mi a bodhiszattva, érdemes végigkattintani ebben az igencsak rövidre sikerült wiki bejegyzésben szereplő hivatkozásokat. Tomi találkozott egy fajtársával, aki nem csak hangosít és számokban beszél, de még keresztény is, így két közös témájuk is volt. És ha már zene, az adásban szereplő zenékről érdemes néhány szót ejteni: A nyitány a Brandenburgi versenyek egy tétele chiptune feldolgozásban - ez itt a matematikai vonatkozású barokk zene, amiről Tomi órákat szeret beszélni, mert ez a felvétel igazából nem is felvétel, hanem programozással készült. A reklám helyetti bejátszás viszont már organikusabb, egy argentin zeneszerző és zenész alkotása a közismert motívumra a h-moll szvit utolsó tétele. Zárásként zongora hang következik egy élőlény előadásában, bár Bach korában még nem volt zongora, vagy jazz, de... Bónuszként ajánljuk: Son of a Bach - Badinerie ezt már nézni is érdemes, korhű kosztümös előadás, bár kérdés, hogy melyik kor. Az emlegetett novella címe Hittétel, és Mike Resnick írta, magyarul a Kétszázadik című antológiában jelent meg. Ha kérdésetek van, vagy megjegyzésetek merülne fel, hallgassatok még több Bachot, de írhattok is nekünk a vegtelensegfiai@gmail.com címre, szívesen fogadjuk, akárcsak a csillagokat, feliratkozásokat, review-kat, amit szinte minden ismert podcast felületen megtehettek. Köszönjük szépen!

In this episode, author & editor Robert J. Sawyer tells us about getting an early start in adult-level science fiction reading books by David Gerrold and Isaac Asimov. He'll talk about why the original Star Trek was such a great TV series, and share his opinions about how science fiction has evolved and sometimes taken steps backward over the years. We'll also chat with Rob about how well old sf novels hold up, specifically some of the works of Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke. Reflecting on his own writing, Rob will tell us about what he learned from interviewing some of the giants in the field back in the 1980s, how he's tried to synthesize the approaches of Larry Niven and Mike Resnick, and his reputation for being an optimist. He'll also give us some hints about what to expect from his newest novel, Quantum Night. Our interview took place in August 2015 at Sasquan, the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention in Spokane, Washington. Find out more about Rob and his works at: sfwriter.com
Dungeon Crawlers Radio had the oppertunity to sit down with Writers of the Future winner Kary English. We talked to her about Writers of the Future, her Hugo nomination, writing, and so much more! Kary English grew up in the snowy Midwest where she avoided siblings and frostbite by reading book after book in a warm corner behind a recliner chair. She blames her one and only high school detention on Douglas Adams, whose Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy caused her to laugh out loud while reading it behind her geometry textbook. Today, Kary still spends most of her time with her head in the clouds and her nose in a book. To the great relief of her parents, she seems to be making a living at it. Her fiction includes several short stories, a planetary fantasy novel forthcoming in late 2015, and a fantasy saga about a little girl and an orange kitten. A student of New York Times bestsellers David Farland and Tracy Hickman, Kary aspires to make her own work detention-worthy.

First Story: “The New Deal” by Trent Jamieson “You hear about the new Deal?” Jacobi asked, crouching down by the nearest body on the flat corrugated iron roof. Ulmer shrugged. “Just rumours, nothing definite. Last one wasn’t so good. These two aren’t going to benefit.” He took a step back from the bodies, careful to stay on the line of nails marking the beam beneath, the roof was rusty; it creaked with his movement. Jacobi grinned and brushed flies from his cracked lips. “These blokes been dead a while.” SF writer and Silent Motion Picture Actor, Trent Jamieson should be 111 years old, but is only 41 on account of TEMPORAL RADIATION.

The look on Jake’s face spooked me. “What’s happened?” I asked him, seawater dripping from the hair of my beard. ”Jenna,” was all I got in reply. Which was enough. Brad R.

[2] With the future coming at us faster and faster how can your favorite science fiction writers stay one step ahead of emerging technology and the changes it creates in our lives? The truth is, sometimes they can't. Robert Buettner describes the future inside and outside of his novels, and how he and other writers struggle with the ever accelerating speed of scientific advancement. [3] Walt Boyes and Stoney Compton provide an inside look at what's new in the latest issue of Jim Baen's Universe, the online magazine of science fiction and fantasy. [4] Mike Resnick addresses a wide variety of questions such as how his own medical conditions may someday require he use voice recognition software, and how these conditions have influenced his feelings about socialized medicine. He also tackles other tough questions: Will the worlds religions remain relevant? Is it OK for big brother to watch you if it reduces crime? Will artificial intelligence worship its creators rather than destroy them? Will the lessons of prohibition be forgotten when writing future laws concerning Marijuana? And consumerism American style: is it succeeding where fascism and communism failed? Is consumerism doing what it appears to be doing: conquering every nation on earth?[5] Another installment in our serialization of the novel Bones Burnt Black; this time the first half of chapter 16. [6] Is it time to buy beachfront property inside the virtual world called Second Life? Randal L.

[Running time: 167 minutes] --- Topics include: [1] News about your host's recent throat surgery, and listener feedback about the implanting and hardwiring of computers into the human brain. [2] Should we fear artificial intelligence? Once we make machines that are smarter than us how will we control or contain them? And if we try, won't they just outsmart us? Robert J. Sawyer explains why AI has dangerous possibilities which are being ignored today; and will continue to be ignored until, because of the accelerating pace of technological advancement, it will be too late. He discusses near term dangers, and ponders humanity's ultimate fate. Will we become pets or partners to machines, or something else for which we have no word? [3] Walt Boyes (The Bananaslug) and Stoney Compton give us an inside peek at what's going on in the current issue of Jim Baen's Universe Magazine. [4] Are state lotteries really an unethical tax upon the very people who can least afford them: the naive and gullible? Does the widespread popularity of gun ownership in America make the United States the only nation on earth that is unconquerable? Mike Resnick covers these and other subjects such as: Will Puerto Ricans ever vote for statehood knowing it will mean they'll have to begin paying income taxes? Will the US ever have socialized medicine? When Castro passes away, will Cuba embrace consumerism? [5] Another installment in our serialization of the novel Bones Burnt Black. [6] Did the documentary An Inconvenient Truth reveal as much about Al Gore and his political aspirations as it did about Al Gore's beliefs concerning climate change? David B. Coe describes what he sees as the many lessons from the movie including the probability that Al Gore will run for president in 2008, and his chances against Hillary and the other Democratic candidates. [7] In the next seven to fourteen years your monthly electric bill will drop to zero permanently, and you will drive a car every day which costs you nothing to fuel. An essay by your host about the soon-coming abundance of really cheap solar cells. [8] Are public libraries embracing the vast information access powers of the internet? The movement is called Library 2.0 and Davey Beauchamp (a professional librarian, and part-time writer and voice actor) has been helping it work its way into the quiet book-lined rooms of traditional libraries. Davey also describes trends in anime, his work on the second Writers for Relief anthology and announces that he has just been hired to write a rock opera based on the legend of Blue Beard the Pirate. [9] In the next three to five years diabetics will all stop poking needles into their fingertips forever. A mini-essay by your host about RFID chips which will be implanted inside human patients and provide constant medical measurements without wires. [10] What methods has Microsoft used that have given it a reputation for aggressive monopolism? And is it true, as some claim, that Microsoft's new Vista operating system has stolen 45 things from Apple's OS-10. Randal L. Schwartz talks of this as well as his experiments with podcasting and Geek Cruises. [11] Will the online science fiction and fantasy magazines survive? Edmund R. Schubert, editor of Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show, describes the strengths and weakness of this business; the money to be made and the trends he sees developing.
Authors Mike Resnick, Kim Stanley Robinson, Elizabeth Bear, Dave Freer, Paul Levinson and Stoney Compton are joined by Randal L. Schwartz (programming consultant and activist) and Walt (the Bananaslug) Boyes of Jim Baen's Universe magazine. Hosted by Stephen Euin Cobb, this is the May 1, 2007 episode of The Future And You.

[2] Many online magazines now pay professional rates--sometimes much better than print magazines--does this mean the great electronic experiment was a success? Or just that the print magazines are dieing? Mike Resnick (editor of the highest paying online magazine) discusses this and provides another eyewitness report on how bad things really are across Africa. He also answers your host's question about Funny Novels: is there more money but less respect? [3] Walt (the Bananaslug) Boyes and Stoney Compton take us inside Jim Baen's Universe magazine. [4] Must a generation die off for a culture to change its most deeply held beliefs? Or is our current population somehow learning to become comfortable with nontraditional ideas, behaviors, clothing and lifestyles? Elizabeth Bear speaks of this and the universal notion of Us verses Them. [5] Have we been relying on non-lethal weapons for centuries without even realizing it? Kim Stanley Robinson insists that we have, and also argues that implanting a computer inside your skull is not trivial. It carries risks of damage and infection, and might best be reserved for solving life-altering problems like blindness or deafness. [6] Another installment in our serialization of the novel Bones Burnt Black. [7] Despite the numerous benefits, the renowned programmer Randal L. Schwartz insists he will be highly reluctant to accept a computer hardwired into his brain; and will refuse it entirely if its operating system is made by Microsoft since that would make his mind too easily hacked and too prone to spontaneously crashing. [8] Cell phones have changed our culture and altered the way we live, but their changes are not yet complete. Paul Levinson ponders what is yet to come. [9] Large scale engineering projects have been less visible recently thanks to all the buzz about nanotechnology. But the future is not given only to the very small. Those who design big are still thinking big, and the biggest place to build big is in the biggest place of all: space. Dave Freer presents his vision of how humanity will spread beyond the earth and fulfill its destiny among the stars.
Authors Eric Flint, Mike Resnick, David B. Coe, Marjorie M. Liu, Catherine Asaro and Sarah A.

[Running time: 152 minutes] --- Topics include: [1] News Item: This show is now teamed with the largest SF online magazine in the world Jim Baen's Universe.

[3] The podcasting debut of Jim Baen's Universe. Walt Boyes interviews Mike Resnick (winner of five Hugo Awards). [4] How rapid is the growth of home schooling? Is it really better than public school? And are parents even qualified to teach their kids? Catherine Asaro (author, physicist and former ballerina) who has home schooled her own daughter for years and now teaches advanced mathematics to eighty other home schooled children, emphasizes that it's not just for religious families anymore. [5] Toni Weisskopf (the new head of Baen Books) describes her take on the singularity, technological immortality, global warming, the next fall of civilization, the Chinese going to the moon, faster-than-light travel, cryonics and SETI. [6] Another installment in our serialization of the novel: Bones Burnt Black. [7] Is the future we live in today already weirder than the futures we dreamed of decades ago? Sarah A. Hoyt (author and polyglot) thinks so, and insists that if science increases our healthy years by a few more decades this will produce a huge cascade of changes throughout society. [8] Lucienne Diver (one of publishing's top literary agents) describes trends within the publishing industry, as well as her worries and hopes for the future outside the biz. [9] How can you verify scientifically the day when men and women are equal? Your host has devised an empirical measurement completely devoid of bias. [10] How soon will parents give in to the temptation to use increasingly available eugenics technologies to improve their own children? Marjorie M. Liu (N.Y. Times bestselling author and former lawyer) describes the inevitable legal and judicial problems soon to be dropped in society's lap. She also startles the host with her revelation that there are judges sitting on the bench right now who have not passed the bar, have never been lawyers and have no degree in law. [11] In the face of our looming energy crisis is it time for passionate environmentalists to rethink their knee-jerk opposition to nuclear power and hydroelectric dams? David B. Coe (author and environmentalist with a PhD in environmental history) risks his environmentalist street creds by insisting that it is.
