Science Fiction energy

Posted in On the coffee table on August 3rd, 2006

Sci Fi literature is happening again. Ok, I’m sure some of you are saying “it’s been happening, where were you?” All I know is that in the 90′s my wife was a librarian and we had good visibility on the fact that Science Fiction was being completely overwhelmed by Fantasy Fiction (you know, sword and sorcery stuff).

My favorite theme is “what happens when life becomes virtual?” Simon Fell recommended Charles Stross’s Acclerando on his blog. It started kind of tough but I really enjoyed it.

If we can take on any shape and live in any kind of world, at what point do we stop being human?
