What if our first confirmed alien signal isn't a message of peace or an invitation to explore the stars, but something far more unsettling? Could it be a countdown, a judgment from an advanced civilization, or a revelation that we live within a simulation set to end?

In this episode, Winston and Nick delve into the world of Soviet science fiction, focusing on the works of Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. They explore the iconic novel "Roadside Picnic" and its profound impact on the genre, including its influence on Jeff Vandermeer's "Annihilation" and Michael Crichton's "Sphere." The discussion also covers the renowned film adaptation "Stalker" by Andrei Tarkovsky and the broader cultural context of the Cold War era. Join them as they uncover the intricate web of inspiration that connects these seminal works and their lasting legacy in science fiction.
Matt, Gregor und Sebastian sprechen in dieser Folge über Andrei Tarkovskys Science-Fiction-Film "Stalker", in dem eine Expedition dreier Männer in eine gefährliche Zone vordringt, in dem die Naturgesetzte scheinbar aufgehoben worden sind. Der Anführer der Expedition, der titelgebende Stalker, hat einen siebten Sinn für die Regeln, die im Gefahrengebiet gelten und hilft seinen Auftraggebern bei der Suche nach einem mysteriösen Ort, der angeblich Wünsche wahr werden lässt. Um die Motive und Hintergründe der abstrakten Geschichte einzuordnen, wird auch die Romanvorlage "Roadside Picnic" (1971) zu Vergleich herangezogen: Im Roman wird die Idee der geheimnisvollen Zonen auf außerirdische Artefakte zurückgeführt, die plötzlich überall auf der Erde auftauchen. Heilbringende Hochtechnologie oder gefährlicher Abfall? Die Menschheit steht vor einem Rätsel!

Welcome to another episode of the Bowie Book Club, where wild speculation and grasping for straws about Bowie's favorite books has reigned supreme since 2016. This time we read Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky, a hard-boiled story of mysterious realms, stiff drinks and super-powered artifacts. Apologies for the jingling sounds in the background - we had a very active feline collaborator on this one.

Red Schuhart is a stalker, one of the young rebels who venture illegally into the Zone, one of six areas on Earth that have been profoundly changed by the visitation of aliens to Earth. But when he and his friend Kirill go into the Zone together to pick up a “full empty,” something goes wrong.

In this episode, I interview Gary Bengier, former CFO of eBay and author of Unfettered Journey, a novel about philosophy and artificial intelligence. Gary's book recommendation: Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky
Roadside Picnic, first published in 1972, is the best-known work of Russia's most famous modern science fiction writers, Arkady & Boris Strugatsky, together the authors of 26 novels and scores of short stories. To discuss it we are joined by the writer and radio presenter Jennifer Lucy Allan, and the publisher and translator Ilona Chavasse. The book is based on the premise that Earth has been briefly visited by an alien civilisation that have left behind them six ‘Zones', places strewn with their debris, some of it lethal to humans; all of it fascinating and perplexing. The Zones feed a black market in artefacts supplied by ‘Stalkers' who are prepared to risk their lives and sanity by entering the forbidden areas to retrieve them. We consider why the book is still considered one of the greatest of all SF novels, how it came to be read as a dark foreshadowing of the Chernobyl disaster and why it has proved itself so ripe for adaptation, both as a series of video games and, most famously, as the basis for Andrei Tarkovsky's classic 1979 film, Stalker. This episode also finds Andy returning to a haunting novel he read earlier this year: The High House (Swift Press) by former guest Jessie Greengrass, while John is carried away by Everybody (Picador), Olivia Laing's magnificent book about freedom and the human body.

“The Experiment is The Experiment.” We're joined by critic & filmmaker Martin Kessler to discuss the Strugatsky Brothers' magnum opus, The Doomed City. Long self-suppressed by the brothers due to fears of retribution by Soviet government under which it was written, the book has a potency and imagination that rivals their best work like Hard to Be a God (adapted into the legendary film by Alexei German) and Roadside Picnic (adapted by Andrei Tarkovsky into the all-time classic Stalker.) The story concerns a bizarre city operating unstuck from time under the incomprehensible parameters of an opaque social-metaphysical project known only as The Experiment. Theological novel, pointed political allegory, mind-bending sci-fi story; like the land of The Experiment itself, The Doomed City is an ever-changing landscape with mysteries apt to be interpreted wildly differently depending on who is doing the interpreting. We go deep on this challenging but wildly engaging masterpiece from some of the most important science-fiction writers ever to exist.

Είμαι ο Δημήτρης και το σημερινό επεισόδιο προοριζόταν να είναι διάλογος με τη Μαριλένα, γιατί επιστρέψαμε πριν λίγες μέρες στην Καστέλλα, στην Αθήνα όπου έχουμε τα δύο μας στουντιάκια, σπιτικά ουσιαστικά στουντιάκια σε διαφορετικά μέρη της πολυκατοικίας, αλλά για κάποιο λόγο το ίντερνέτ μας δεν λειτουργεί σήμερα και είναι η τελευταία μέρα που μπορώ να ηχογραφήσω στην ώρα μου έτσι ώστε να βγει αυτό το επεισόδιο στην ώρα του. [1:09] Και τελικά αναγκάζομαι να κάνω ένα επεισόδιο μόνος μου για εσάς. Ρώτησα τη Μαριλένα: «Πω πω δεν ξέρω τι να... Για τι... Δεν ξέρω για τι πράγμα να μιλήσω». Δηλαδή ΟΚ, το προηγούμενο επεισόδιο που κα... έκανα σόλο εγώ που ήτανε για το κλιματικό πένθος μού βγήκε σαν ανάγκη να τα βγάλω από μέσα μου, αλλά σήμερα για τι πράγμα να μιλήσω; Είμαι απροετοίμαστος τελείως. Κι εκείνη απλά μου είπε: «Ε, μίλα για την επιστημονική φαντασία, το ξέρεις ότι εμένα δεν μ' ενδιαφέρει καθόλου, ευκαιρία να τα πεις». Και όντως ήταν μια πολύ καλή ιδέα και θα μιλήσω στο σημερινό επεισόδιο για την επιστημονική φαντασία και για τα βιβλία, τις ταινίες, τις σειρές και τα βιντεοπαιχνίδια επιστημονικής φαντασίας που μου αρέσουνε και κάποια που δεν μου αρέσουνε. Αν η επιστημονική φαντασία δεν σας ενδιαφέρει, δεν ξέρω αν έχει νόημα να ακούσετε αυτό το επεισόδιο, μπορεί και να σας εμπνεύσει γιατί θα μιλήσω για την επιστημονική φαντασία με έναν τρόπο που ίσως να μην έχετε σκεφτεί ποτέ και γιατί μου αρέσει βασικά. [2:20] Καταρχάς, να πω ότι αυτό... Το έναυσμα ίσως γι' αυτήν την κουβέντα είναι ότι η Μαριλένα με βλέπει που μέσα σε τέσσερις μήνες έχω διαβάσει τέσσερα βιβλία μίας πολύ μεγάλης σειράς βιβλίων επιστημονικής φαντασίας που λέγεται "The Expanse". Κάθε ένα απ' αυτά τα βιβλία είναι 500 σελίδες περίπου και από τον Απρίλιο έχω ξεκινήσει να τα διαβάζω. Τον Οκτώβριο θα βγει το ένατο βιβλίο της σειράς. Αρχικά σκόπευα να έχω τελειώσει τη σειρά μέχρι τότε, αλλά δεν νομίζω ότι η ζωή μου έτσι όπως είναι τώρα θα μου το επέτρεπε αυτό, αλλά νομίζω ότι το ότι ξεκίνησα και το πέμπτο βιβλίο πριν λίγες μέρες... Ε, είμαι σε έναν καλό ρυθμό, δηλαδή δεν χρειάζεται να ψυχαναγκαστώ να τα τελειώσω όλα πριν βγει το ένατο βιβλίο. Αυτά τα έκανα μόνο με «Χάρι Πότερ» και τέτοια πράγματα όταν ήμουνα εφηβάκι. Το "Expanse" μ' αρέσει τόσο πολύ γιατί είναι εξαιρετικά καλογραμμένο. Το διαβάζω στα αγγλικά γιατί δεν έχει μεταφραστεί δυστυχώς στα ελληνικά και πολλά από τα βιβλία και τα έργα που θα αναφέρω δεν έχουν μεταφραστεί στα ελληνικά. [3:37] Ε... Είναι ένα space opera, ουσιαστικά σαν το "Star Wars" το οποίο ήτανε οι πρώτες ταινίες επιστημονικής φαντασίας που είδα ως παιδί και καλλιέργησαν αυτή την αγάπη γι' αυτό το είδος ταινιών, περισσότερο τις ε... τις ιστορίες που διαδραματίζονται στο διάστημα. Ούτως ή άλλως μ' αρέσει το διάστημα και ξέρω πολλά πράγματα για την αστρονομία και είδαμε και πολύ ωραία αστέρια με κιάλια και τηλεσκόπιο στην Κίμωλο. Έχουμε ξεχάσει πώς είναι να είσαι στο βαθύ σκοτάδι και να βλέπεις τον ουρανό. Καθαροί ουρανοί. Τέλος πάντων.

This film demands your full attention. Jason Furie fully committed his mind and body to this experience while Adam Roth possibly did no such thing and now lives in regret. Guess who enjoyed this film more? We review Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 sci-fi cult classic "Stalker" that is sure to generate some conflicting opinions and interpretations. If you're going to watch this one, be sure get The Criterion Collection edition 2K remaster. It's amazing.Visit Website | Join Newsletter | Support | Facebook | Instagram

For May Day we read Soviet era novel, Roadside Picnic, by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. It’s a bleak look at utopia, the utterly alien nature of aliens, and the insignificance of humans. We disagree about the end of the novel and leave it up to you, dear listener, to decide the true meaning. The post May Day Ex-Strugatsky-ganza appeared first on Androids and Assets.

It’s been a while since I read anything other than my students and my own writing. When returning to the hobby, not many books came to mind. Luckily, the one I chose was exactly what I needed. A grim atmosphere made harsh and interesting with the inclusion of sinister scientific anomalies; the Strugatsky brothers did not disappoint. With that said, welcome to my disorganised and somewhat biased review on Roadside Picnic!

In this episode we are joined by the talented K0rdhal to talk about his community event/setting Zone Secundus. It takes place in the radioactive waste of Hive Secundus, after the nuclear bombardment to rid the city of Cult of the Second Son Genestealer Cult. Taking influence from books like Roadside Picnic and Metro 2033, as well as post apocalyptic video games like Stalker and Fallout, it is a claustrophobic, desolate setting, defined by radiation sickness and failing equipment. We talk about his vision for the setting, and what models he and others have created so far. We also discuss what we plan to make for the setting and how others can get involved in Zone Secundus too!Follow K0rdhal.Follow #zonesecundus.Follow Fevered_velvet who created the logo.Help artist Justin Bartlett battle Colorectal Cancer.Closing music created by Redwetskeleton.
The consequence of living in a complex world: one tiny tweak can lead to massive transformation. Set the stage a slightly different way, and the entire play might unfold differently. This path-dependency shows up in both the science fiction premise and the hypothesis of scientific research: What can we learn about the hidden order of our cosmos by adjusting just a single variable?Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I’m your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we’ll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.This week, Complexity Podcast becomes its own experiment after an invasion by our sister podcast, InterPlanetary Festival’s Alien Crash Site. SFI Miller Omega Program Manager Caitlin McShea joins as guest co-host for a conversation with SFI Program Postdoctoral Fellow Tamara van der Does (who models belief change using techniques inspired by statistical physics) for a three-headed conversation totally befitting the subject matter: a work of speculative “sci-fi science” produced by SFI’s postdoctoral researchers during a 72-hour lock-in complex systems charette. Their question: how might an extraterrestrial civilization much like our own work if their biology required three-parent families? We discuss the interplay between individual and society, the role of counterfactuals and speculation in both scientific research and sci-fi, and what technology she’d hope to find left in the wake of an alien visitation.Tune in two weeks from now for a return to our regularly scheduled programming...If you value our research and communication efforts, please consider making a donation at santafe.edu/give — and/or rating and reviewing us at Apple Podcasts.

Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I’m your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we’ll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.This week we present something different: SFI’s InterPlanetary Project is excited to announce a new podcast, Alien Crash Site, in which we ask some of the most interesting people we know — scientists, artists, authors, and athletes — what strange technologies they might hope to find in a “Zone” like the alien visitation area from the Strugatsky brothers’ novel, Roadside Picnic (adapted to film as Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky).In this special teaser episode, we present clips from the first three episodes of Alien Crash Site, hosted by IPFest Director Caitlin McShea, with guests:David Krakauer, SFI President, evolutionary biologist, and William H. Miller Professor of Complexity;Kate Greene, former laser physicist turned science journalist, essayist, and human guinea pig on the HI SEAS Mars mission simulation;and Ashton Eaton, two-time Olympic gold medalist decathlete now working with Intel to design human performance tracking technology.Go deeper into the Zone after listening with the following papers, articles, and videos:“The physical limits of communication or Why any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from noise” by Michael Lachmann et al.https://aapt.scitation.org/doi/10.1119/1.1773578“The Information Theory of Individuality” by David Krakauer et al.https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12064-020-00313-7"Agnostic Approaches to Extant Life Detection" by Natalie Grefenstette et al.https://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lifeonmars2019/pdf/5026.pdfComplexity Episode 41: Agnostic Biosignature Detection with Natalie Grefenstettehttps://complexity.simplecast.com/episodes/41Complexity Episode 2: The Origins of Life with David Krakauer, Sarah Maurer, and Chris Kempeshttps://complexity.simplecast.com/episodes/2SFI’s InterPlanetary Project & Festival YouTube Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYzOPIgwqUk&list=PLZlVBTf7N6GrzcLkqil5vyJQQd6JA-H3a“Alien Nations: Why Life on Other Planets Will Resemble Ours” by Steve LeVine at OneZero on Mediumhttps://onezero.medium.com/alien-nations-why-life-on-other-planets-will-resemble-ours-15fb4ede6fe7For show notes, research links, transcripts, and more, visit complexity.simplecast.com.If you value our research and communication efforts, please consider making a donation at santafe.edu/give — and/or rating and reviewing us at Apple Podcasts.

Today we take a look at Roadside Picnic By: Arkady Strugatsky, Boris Strugatsky, Olena Bormashenko Narrated by Robert Forster. Is this Russian book from the 1970 worth a look today?
What if all we knew about alien culture was their garbage? Or is it their garbage? The Strugatsky brothers' most famous novel is about a world where stalkers crawl through hazardous Zones for precious artifacts. Also it's about hope, bureaucracy, and our relationship to the unknown.Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.

Recently, the three of us were asked by ban__hus to take part in his grimdarkfilmclub project, where people select a film, book, record, and artwork that has inspired them. Our selections are up on the grimdarkfilmclub Instagram account, but we wanted to use this episode to talk more about them and why they are important to us. Many of them speak to our interest in realism, which is reflected in our hobby projects where we modify the scale of miniatures to reduce heroic scale. We talk about the following films: Jin-Roh - the Wolf Brigade, Unforgiven, and Blue Ruin. We talk about the following books: Roadside Picnic, The Shadow of the Torturer (The Book of the New Sun), and the Crystal World. We talk about the following albums: Liar - The Jesus Lizard, Bivouac - Jawbreaker, and Songs about Fucking - Big Black. Finally, we talk about the artists: Yoji Shinkawa, Alberto Giacometti, and Joe Keinberger.Follow grimdarkfilmclub!Follow ban__hus!Follow Joe Keinberger!
Our fourteenth episode in which we watch and review the Russian cult classic Stalker, directed by Andrei Tarkovsky and based on the novel Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers. The premise is simple - the film takes place in the "Zone"; in the distant future, society as we know it has been destroyed, and the protagonist, known as the "Stalker" is leading a professor and a writer to the "Room", a place supposedly where the wishes of whoever enters it are granted. We discuss the filmmaking, themes and motifs and give our own analysis of what the film means to us. We didn't have any submissions this week, but if you're a creator and want to have your work reviewed, message us!

In our second episode on Soviet director and auteur Andrei Tarkovsky we discuss his most well known film and possibly his magnum opus, Stalker (1979). The last film that Tarkovsky made whilst living in the Soviet Union, Stalker is loosely adapted from the novel Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky.In Stalker, Tarkovsky takes decaying the post-industrial ruinous landscapes and transforms them into the mysterious 'Zone', a land full of hidden rules and invisible threats, that our trio of anguished and existentially angsty protagonists must traverse. Our characters are the Writer and the Professor, guided through the mysterious and dreamlike landscape by the eponymous Stalker. In this episode we discuss the unique artistic and technical feats that make this movie such a cult classic, and some of our quibbles with Tarkovsky's ethic.Edited by Matthew Lloyd Roberts.

We are joined by DJ and musician Jason Layne (Sunken Armada, Fifth Business, Drab, and others) as we ostensibly discuss REM's transitional 1998 album "Up". Instead we often find ourselves talking about driving across several state lines for a burrito, the likely influence Catdog had on the Human Centipede film franchise, and how Patrick is a true recycler. We also learn some new words with Jim.

Forestil dig at Aliens kom til jorden. Og i stedet for at møde os, og måske møde vores præsident… så skred de bare igen. Men ikke før de havde efterladt sig en række ubeboelige zoner fyldt af mærkelige fænomener, der hvor de landede. Sådan en situation udforsker Strugatskij brødrene i Roadside Picnic. Romanen udspiller sig […] Indlægget Ep. 58: Arkady og Boris Strugatskij, Roadside Picnic blev først udgivet på SCIFI SNAK.

Journey into the Zone to uncover some of the strange artifacts buried in Tarkovsky's cinematic masterpiece, Stalker (1979). In this first of a two-part conversation, Phil and JF discuss a poem by Tarkovsky's dad, compare the film with the sci-fi novel that inspired it, explore the ideological underpinnings of formulaic genre, delve into the meaning and affordances of the concept of zone, and affirm that in a sufficiently weird mindset, even a casual stroll in your hometown can become an excursion into a Zone of your own.

Comedians Phill Jupitus and Robin Ince talk to Harriett Gilbert about books they love. Phill's is Dada: Art and Anti-Art by Hans Richter, the founder of the punk art movement. Robin's is Soviet-era science fiction: Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, the book on which Andrei Tarkovsky's film Stalker was based. Lastly, Harriett introduces them to a dark and compelling new crime novel in which the protagonists are children: Dodgers by Bill Beverly. Producer Beth O'Dea.
What dark depths lie under bright futures we like to imagine? That, and other lofty questions, are addressed on this episode, where we look at the authoritarian side of the sci-fi we love, the colonialism of games we’re enjoying, and the very difficult question of what on earth to do with David Cage Games. Quick content warning: this episode contains discussion of sexual harassment and abuse in media. Discussed: They are Billions, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Roadside Picnic, Battlestar Galactica, Dark Matter, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Black Mirror, Cory Doctorow’s Piece on Cold Equations and Moral Hazards, Quantic Dream and David Cage, Louie CK, James Franco, Person of Interest, Thimbleweed Park
Get ready for the FIRST EVER CROSSOVER EPISODE! We joined forces with Reading Envy to discuss a book and movie. Jenny Colvin, the host of Reading Envy, is a total bad-ass. She read over 300 books last year, and she is one of the most intelligent podcasters I know. I thoroughly enjoy her podcast (if you're New Years Resolution is to read more, check out her "Best of 2017" for book suggestions). We discussed the book ROADSIDE PICNIC by the Strugatsky brothers, and the Tarkovsky slow-film classic STALKER. We discuss the similarities and differences between the source material and the adaptation, as well as some of the things we liked (and didn't like). Jenny and I also discuss Infinite Jest, some of her favorite books of the year, a famous littering scene from the show MAD MEN, and finally my friend's deepest fear.
Alrighty listeners! In this episode I play a text adventure called Distress. You can download and play it here http://www.sidneymerk.com/distress.shtml and I recommend you do. The fellow who made this game also has a podcast! A daddy-daughter video-game discussion podcast. Check it out here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/videogame-generations/id898657781 I also recommended some books in this episode: Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky and the audiobook of Solaris by Stanisław Lem. Also I remembered that in the last episode I recommended Ship of Fools by Richard Paul Russo, but forgot to stick it in the description. Check 'em all out. Check everything out. Every last thing. Check check check check. Bye everyone!

In a special Landmark edition, Matthew Sweet discusses Tarkovsky's 1979 film Stalker with the director Sophie Fiennes, the journalist Konstantin Von Eggert, whose family knew Tarkovsky, film critic Larushka Ivan-Zadeh, the writer Geoff Dyer, and the academic and former tour guide in the Chernobyl Zone Dr Nicholas Rush Cooper from Durham University. Stalker tells the story of three men - Writer, Professor, and Stalker. We are never quite sure who Stalker is, or what he represents, but it's his job to lead Writer and Professor on a journey into a mysterious region called The Zone. At the heart of The Zone is a room in which all wishes come true.Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky, Stalker is a kind of Science Fiction film with all the Science Fiction stripped out. Geoff Dyer notes that "Stalker has always invited allegorical readings, and since the film has something of the quality of prophecy, these readings are not confined to events that had occurred by the time the film was made." Is Stalker about the end of Communism? Does it prefigure the Chernobyl disaster? There are many possibilities, but the film remains mysterious.Producer: Laura Thomas
Today on the 5: Roadside Picnic is in development to become a television series. I think the book has a lot of potential in this area.
Today on the 5: I've talked a few times about my disappointment with Star Wars Aftermath, most critically with the audiobook. The audio version of Roadside Picnic, on the the hand, is a shining example of an audiobook done right.
Luke and Shiri continue their hike through the “canon”, stopping for a Roadside Picnic. Next, we bust the shit out of a bunch of refrigerators and finally take on the issue of some assholes vs the “vocal minority.” We end, as always, with the Grrr and the Arrrgh.
