Communications Breakdown - Sf Stories About The Future Of Connection

60,95€ + 10% CARD

 An exciting science fiction collection that looks at what future communication might look like and how our shifting relationships with technology could change this most human of capabilities.In Communications Breakdown, award-winning editor Jonathan Strahan asks some of the world''s best science fiction writers to consider how the very idea of communication might change in the future. Rich terrain for speculation, this anthology brims with human stories about the future face of our age-old need to connect. As cyberpunk pioneer William Gibson said, "The future is already here—it''s just not evenly distributed." So what happens when inequalities keep the future from everyone''s front door? Who is in control? These stories show humanity''s ability to construct the best possible worlds while also battling our potential to inflict unlimited harm.Communications Breakdown features contributions from Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Famer Cory Doctorow, the winner of the Times of India AutHer Award Lavanya Lakshminarayan, Hugo Award winner Ian McDonald, as well as an interview with digital privacy activist Chris Gilliard by author and journalist Tim Maughan. Breaking down how we think about communication, Communications Breakdown calls readers to look at how vulnerable our modes of communication—and indeed, we ourselves—are.Contributors Elizabeth Bear, S.B. Divya, Cory Doctorow, Chris Gilliard, Lavanya Lakshminarayan, Ken Macleod, Tim Maughan, Ian McDonald, Anil Menon, Premee Mohamed, and Shiv Ramdas. Artwork by Ashley Mackenzie

Tomorrow'S Parties - Life In The Anthropocene

53,00€ + 10% CARD

 Twelve visions of living in a climate-changed world.We are living in the Anthropocene—an era of dramatic and violent climate change featuring warming oceans, melting icecaps, extreme weather events, habitat loss, species extinction, and more. What will life be like in a climate-changed world? In Tomorrow''s Parties, science fiction authors speculate how we might be able to live and even thrive through the advancing Anthropocene. In ten original stories by writers from around the world, an interview with celebrated writer Kim Stanley Robinson, and a series of intricate and elegant artworks by Sean Bodley, Tomorrow''s Parties takes rational optimism as a moral imperative, or at least a pragmatic alternative to despair.In these stories—by writers from the United Kingdom, the United States, Nigeria, China, Bangladesh, and Australia—a young man steals from delivery drones; a political community lives on an island made of ocean-borne plastic waste; and a climate change denier tries to unmask "crisis actors." Climate-changed life also has its pleasures and epiphanies, as when a father in Africa works to make his son''s dreams of "Viking adventure" a reality, and an IT professional dispatched to a distant village encounters a marvelous predigital fungal network. Contributors include Pascall Prize for Criticism winner James Bradley, Hugo Award winners Greg Egan and Sarah Gailey, Philip K Dick Award winner Meg Elison, and New York Times bestselling author Daryl Gregory.ContributorsSean Bodley, James Bradley, Greg Egan, Meg Elison, Sarah Gailey, Daryl Gregory, Saad Z.
