Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eine fremdartige Lebensform aus den Weiten des Alls findet die Erde. Die wolkigen Gestalten, die in Wirklichkeit jeweils aus Millionen einzelner Mikro-Wesen bestehen, treten voller Hoffnung mit dem Planeten in Kontakt. Und eine fatale Kette von Missverständnissen nimmt ihren Lauf. Zusammen mit ihren Soldaten bekämpfen Rom und Athene grauenhafte Bugs - Unmengen käferartiger Wesen, die nach dem Absturz eines Raumschiffs ihre Welt infiltriert haben und alles zerbeißen, was sich ihnen in den Weg stellt. Entgegen allen Regeln dringen die beiden jungen Leute in das Wrack des Raumschiffs ein, um das Übel endlich an der Wurzel zu packen. Aber nichts ist, wie es scheint. Cadoc ist Soldat und weiß, dass sie verloren haben, denn die überlegenen Helix werden auch seinen Planeten Alexios in Kürze erobern: Sklaverei oder Tod warten auf sie alle. Nur ein paar Glückliche werden sie noch evakuieren können. So gibt es nur noch ein einziges Ziel für Cadoc: Seine geliebte Schwester Haya muss in eines der Evakuierungsschiffe - wenn er sie nur davon überzeugen könnte! Der Sternen-Seefahrer Quill bettet seine geliebte Frau Kahni zur Ruhe, nachdem die Strahlenkrankheit sie getötet hat. Ebenfalls krank, will er in seiner Verzweiflung nur noch sterben. Doch der verrückte Kapitän Myst kann ihn davon überzeugen, stattdessen mit seiner todgeweihten Crew den Spuren des mysteriösen Sternenwals zu folgen: Auf abenteuerliche Weise segeln sie hinaus in den Weltraum, um den sagenumwobenen Planeten zu finden, auf dem ihre geliebten Toten noch leben. Diese und mehr als ein Dutzend weitere Geschichten aus dem schier grenzenlosen Reich der Science Fiction, verfasst von acht aufstrebenden Autorinnen und Autoren, finden sich in Zwischen-Welten: Eine Science Fiction Anthologie.

Book Synopsis The History of the Science-fiction Magazine by : Michael Ashley
Download or read book The History of the Science-fiction Magazine written by Michael Ashley and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first of three volumes that chart the history of the science fiction magazine from the earliest days to the present. This first volume looks at the exuberant years of the pulp magazines. It traces the growth and development of the science fiction magazines from when Hugo Gernsback launched the very first, Amazing Stories, in 1926 through to the birth of the atomic age and the death of the pulps in the early 1950s. These were the days of the youth of science fiction, when it was brash, raw and exciting: the days of the first great space operas by Edward Elmer Smith and Edmond Hamilton, through the cosmic thought variants by Murray Leinster, Jack Williamson and others to the early 1940s when John W. Campbell at Astounding did his best to nurture the infant genre into adulthood. Under him such major names as Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, A. E. van Vogt and Theodore Sturgeon emerged who, along with other such new talents as Ray Bradbury and Arthur C. Clarke, helped create modern science fiction. For over forty years magazines were at the heart of science fiction and this book considers how the magazines, and their publishers, editors and authors influenced the growth and perception of this fascinating genre.

Book Synopsis Latin American Science Fiction Writers by : Darrell B. Lockhart
Download or read book Latin American Science Fiction Writers written by Darrell B. Lockhart and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-03-30 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many readers are unaware of the vast universe of Latin American science fiction, which has its roots in the 18th century and has flourished to the present day. Because science fiction is part of Latin American popular culture, it reflects cultural and social concerns and comments on contemporary society. While there is a growing body of criticism on Latin American science fiction, most studies treat only a single author or work. This reference offers a broad overview of Latin American science fiction. Included are alphabetically arranged entries on 70 Latin American science fiction writers. While some of these are canonical figures, others have been largely neglected. Since much of science fiction has been written by women, many women writers are profiled. Each entry is prepared by an expert contributor and includes a short biography, a discussion of the writer's works, and primary and secondary bibliographies. The volume closes with a general bibliography of anthologies and criticism.
Book Synopsis Science Fiction Prototyping by : Johnson Brian David
Download or read book Science Fiction Prototyping written by Johnson Brian David and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science fiction is the playground of the imagination. If you are interested in science or fascinated with the future then science fiction is where you explore new ideas and let your dreams and nightmares duke it out on the safety of the page or screen. But what if we could use science fiction to do more than that? What if we could use science fiction based on science fact to not only imagine our future but develop new technologies and products? What if we could use stories, movies and comics as a kind of tool to explore the real world implications and uses of future technologies today? Science Fiction Prototyping is a practical guide to using fiction as a way to imagine our future in a whole new way. Filled with history, real world examples and conversations with experts like best selling science fiction author Cory Doctorow, senior editor at Dark Horse Comics Chris Warner and Hollywood science expert Sidney Perkowitz, Science Fiction Prototyping will give you the tools you need to begin designing the future with science fiction. The future is Brian David Johnson’s business. As a futurist at Intel Corporation, his charter is to develop an actionable vision for computing in 2021. His work is called “future casting”—using ethnographic field studies, technology research, trend data, and even science fiction to create a pragmatic vision of consumers and computing. Johnson has been pioneering development in artificial intelligence, robotics, and reinventing TV. He speaks and writes extensively about future technologies in articles and scientific papers as well as science fiction short stories and novels (Fake Plastic Love and Screen Future: The Future of Entertainment, Computing and the Devices We Love). He has directed two feature films and is an illustrator and commissioned painter. Table of Contents: Preface / Foreword / Epilogue / Dedication / Acknowledgments / 1. The Future Is in Your Hands / 2.

Book Synopsis Exploring Science Through Science Fiction by : Barry B. Luokkala
Download or read book Exploring Science Through Science Fiction written by Barry B. Luokkala and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does Einstein’s description of space and time compare with Doctor Who? Can James Bond really escape from an armor-plated railroad car by cutting through the floor with a laser concealed in a wristwatch? What would it take to create a fully intelligent android, such as Star Trek’s Commander Data? Exploring Science Through Science Fiction addresses these and other intriguing questions, using science fiction as a springboard for discussing fundamental science concepts and cutting-edge science research. It includes references to original research papers, landmark scientific publications and technical documents, as well as a broad range of science literature at a more popular level. The revised second edition includes expanded discussions on topics such as gravitational waves and black holes, machine learning and quantum computing, gene editing, and more. In all, the second edition now features over 220 references to specific scenes in more than 160 sci-fi movies and TV episodes, spanning over 100 years of cinematic history. Designed as the primary text for a college-level course, this book will appeal to students across the fine arts, humanities, and hard sciences, as well as any reader with an interest in science and science fiction. Praise for the first edition: "This journey from science fiction to science fact provides an engaging and surprisingly approachable read..."

Book Synopsis Science Fiction: The Year's Best (2006 Edition) by : Joe Haldeman
Download or read book Science Fiction: The Year's Best (2006 Edition) written by Joe Haldeman and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horton's elegiac anthology of 15 mostly hard SF stories illuminates a broad spectrum of grief over love thwarted through time, space, human frailty or alien intervention, from the gentle melancholy of Michael Swanwick's "Triceratops Summer," which posits tame Technicolored time-warped dinosaurs in Vermont, to newcomer Leah Bobet's "Bliss," an agonizing riff on near-future drug addiction. Several selections address current political-social issues, like Mary Rosenblum's "Search Engine," which extrapolates today's technology to chilling, Big Brotherly results. The long closing story, Alastair Reynolds's "Understanding Space and Time," however, presents a ray of cosmic hope: the sole survivor of a plague that decimated humanity is rescued and healed by intergalactic entities and lives out millennia while seeking ultimate truths, returning to see mankind regenerated. This anthology reflects the concerns of the genre today—and the apparent inability of our society to do anything about them. -- Publishers Weekly
Book Synopsis The Science Fiction of Phyllis Gotlieb by : Dominick Grace
Download or read book The Science Fiction of Phyllis Gotlieb written by Dominick Grace and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gotlieb is a writer central to the Canadian science fiction canon. Though she has been called the queen of Canadian SF by Robert J. Sawyer, and though David Ketterer has suggested that she is Canadian SF, Gotlieb has been largely overlooked by SF studies. This book delves deeply into her body of work and traces her career in detail. Offering close readings of Gotlieb's novels, short stories (including ones not reprinted since their initial appearances), and SF-related poetry, this study explores Gotlieb's development as a writer and her characteristic themes. The book also references her manuscripts when the differences between them and the published stories provide insights into her working methods. The book enumerates and analyzes Gotlieb's innovative explorations of common SF tropes such as the superhuman, human-alien interaction, and the galactic empire, her prevalent thematic concerns (e.g., reproduction, colonization, the mind-body relationship, the essence of "humanity") as well as her stylistically dense and literary approach to the genre.
