Woohoo! My first victim program was simple--the test shipped with

bizarre--the fact that it works, or the fact that I actually wrote
correct Python code. (By the time this is all done I'm going to...

FML: Fiction Markup Language
FML: Fiction Markup Language
01/16/2004 11:33 AMWhen is someone going to come up with Fiction Markup Language
— an XML spec solely for annotating fiction? For example:
Take perhaps the greatest novel ever written: Ian Fleming's 1953
classic "Casino Royale." Let's break this down from
a big chunk of text to make up something more usable.
Obviously, you could mark the chapters and section numbers, but
let's go further into the actual content of the narrative. Begin by
surrounding all spoken text with tags. For example:
<quote speaker="James Bond">My
name is Bond, James Bond</quote>
Perhaps you can have another attribute for "target" to identify to
whom he's speaking. Then I could do an XPath query to find everything
James Bond said to Vesper Lynd in the entire book.
And how about locations? Surround passages with their physical
location, like the casino floor, Bond's hotel room, etc. (where
appropriate — wouldn't work in all situations). I could then
use XPath to find all the unique locations in the book (this would be
great for the globe-hopping James Bond novels).
Identify "action" passages and mark them. How about the death of a
character? Mark them so I can immediately find out where Le Chiffre
was killed and read how it happened.
Introductions of characters are another thing. Mark the first
appearance of each character so if I can't remember who someone is, I
can go back and find where they first appeared and who they are.
I'm reading Tom Clancy's "Politika" right now, and
I can hardly keep track of everyone. It'd be handy to be able to
print a "report" showing who everyone is. (A good ebook client
implementation of this would know what page the reader was on and not
report anything past that page as to not spoil anything.)
Maybe mark the beginning and ending of pages as they appeared in
the original publication. And have some way for an expert to insert
commentary about the text.
James Bond novels are one thing, but imagine if someone did this
for, say, "War and
Peace". It would be like Cliffs Notes embedded in the
text of the book.
There's unexplored potential here. I can't be the first person to
think of this. (And another question: is this just an attempt to
completely suck the soul right out of fiction? Should we just leave
it the hell alone?)

Science Fiction and Religion
Science Fiction and Religion
01/19/2004 10:41 AMI was reading an interview with Ted Chiang, and the first lines struck
me: All science fiction is fundamentally post-religious literature.
For those whose minds are shaped by science and technology, the
universe is fundamentally knowable. Faith dissolves, replaced by a
sense of wonder at the complexity of creation.What do you think of
this?
