La fantascienza del futuro prossimo secondo Charlie Stross

Standard

La fantascianza del futuro prossimo secondo lo scrittore Charlie Stross, uno dei primi autori d’oltreoceano ad aver adottato una licenza Creative Commons per i suoi romanzi. Ripreso da WorldChanging.com, si legge nel testo:

Near-future SF does different things with the same tools; they come front-and-centre — or rather, their effects come front-and-centre, and the world is changed thereby. And they’re not necessarily such obvious new technologies as smart bombs and wrist-watch radios; they might equally well be a new way of looking at the memetic spread of fashions, as in Connie Willis’ Belwether, or social network mediated economics, as in Bruce Sterling’s Maneki Neko.
