Judging from the paintings in this exhibition, the readers of those magazines seemed to like reading stories about Nazis torturing (and in this illustration, cutting the hair of) scantily clad women.

Classic pulp mag replicas

Classic pulp mag replicas 09/06/2004 09:05 AM
Cory Doctorow: Girasol Collectables is a small Canadian press that's producing high-quality facimilies of classic pulp magazines (I bought a copy of this Spicy Adventure Stories mag yesterday for the cover, without realizing that one of the stories was written by Robert Howard under his Sam Walser pseudonym) at the rate of one a month. At US$25-35 per issue, it's a little pricey to consider as a subscription item, but as a one-off, these things are fantastic. I love the old pulps, but when I buy them, I'm reluctant to give them a home beside the toilet, where they'd be great reading material, what with all their humorous quack-remedy ads, overblown short stories, and general bite-siized irony. But the old pulps feel like a piece of history, something you down own so much as take custody over -- they're so fragile and poorly wrought that they bring out the maternal/archival instinct in all but the most hardened junk-hater.

But these replicas -- in addition to being better-manufactured than any of the original pulps! -- are cheap(ish) and replaceable, and a perfect tank-top reader. I kept hauling out my copy yesterday and showing it around, and the universal reaction among the WorldCon-goers was a bittersweet sigh of regret for the passing of the golden age of dreadful fic and exploitative covers and quack advertisements.

I 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?

Science fiction often inspires, if not predicts, real scientific developments. But animated fiction? Yes, two professors are now working on a "teleporting" mechanism inspired by claymation such as Wallace and Gromit, the popular animated duo of movie fame. Sounds kind of dubious, but when you read the details it sounds fairly straightforward. The goal is to digitize an object, send it over a network, and reproduce it with synthetic particles on the other end. So you could have a live representation of, say, someone during a videoconference. It actually sounds less like teleporting and more like Star Wars (live holographic images of people beamed across space) meets rapid prototyping (replicating an image with synthetic particles). Still, it could be pretty interesting, even if it's a ways off. Maybe in the meantime they can develop one of those pairs of pants that lets you walk on the ceiling.

A&E has produced a craptacular Flash site to promote Lathe of Heaven, a telepic adapted from an Ursula K Le Guin story. The promo copy contains this grotesquely patronizing bit of gratuitously insulting analysis of science fiction, apparently aimed at ensuring that any science fiction fans who enjoy the work are put firmly in their place and instructed that this is different from that crappy rocket-ship stuff that they're accustomed to. I thought that this kind of thinking was dead and buried, but apparently, it's alive and well at A&E's marketing department. Flash Link, click "Author" (Thanks, Emilyg!)

Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy
for Teens

Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy
for Teens 03/31/2005 09:49 AM
Cory Doctorow: I've just finished an advance review copy of The Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy for Teens, the first installment of a new anthology series edited by Patrick Nielsen Hayden and Jane Yolen. This is an idea whose time has well and truly come: the editors pick stories that are suitable for teens from among the general selection of all the fantasy and science fiction published in the last year.

There's an old bon mot about science fiction: "the golden age of science fiction is 12." When I was about that age, I was haunting my local science fiction bookstore and library, reading everything a could get my hands on, a book every day or sometimes more. Those formative years made me into a lifelong reader of science fiction -- and a lifelong customer for science fiction writers.

But as anyone who attends science fiction conventions knows, fandom is aging without any especially large cohort of adolescents coming in behind it. Young people are still thoroughly engaged with sf, but it's through gaming, comics, and TV/films. All worthy endeavors, but to the extent that they're crowding out novels and stories, it's bad news for those of us who write sf -- and those of us who read it, since publishers won't be able to publish to the dwindling niche of genre readers forever; eventually we'll cross over into a market too small to serve.

And that's why this anthology (and New Skies and New Magics, two anthologies of sf and fantasy for kids edited by Patrick Nielsen Hayden) is so important. It's not that the field lacks work that's appropriate for young people; it positively bursts with it. And as Yolen notes in her introduction, the precocious youngsters who come to sf are not easily intimidated by the notion that they are reading books intended for adult readers. But it's not enough: for those professionals and parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles and mentors looking to introduce their young friends to the field, it is hard to find the good stuff that will get them started and hook them for life (Jumper and its sequel Reflex, which I reviewed here earlier this month, are good choices for this task).

In creating and sustaining a new series of books that consistently identify quality, age-appropriate science fiction and fantasy, Yolen and Nielsen Hayden are doing important work -- providing a road-map for newcomers to the field, and a friend that they can visit with every year. What's more, the introduction to each story includes a suggested reading list of sf and fantasy novels of note that you should read if you like the story.

The stories in this anthology range from good to brilliant to jaw-dropping. It is relatively short on science fiction, but the main sf piece, Bradley Denton's "Sergeant Chip" is so good that it practically had me in tears on the bus this morning (no surprise, as Denton is one of the field's towering and under-appreciated geniuses, whose Buddy Holly is a Alive and Well on Ganymede is possibly the funniest book I've ever read). Sergeant Chip is the first-person narrative of an electronically enhanced dog serving in the K9 forces of an American military unit occupying a conquered country that is much like Iraq of today.

Many of the other standouts here are "contemporary fantasies," set in the modern world, American interpretations of magic realism, a favorite genre of mine. Kelly Link's "Faery Handbag" and Delia Sherman's "CATNYP" are the best examples here.

As to the rest, they are a taster's menu of well-executed, broadly chosen stories from every corner of the field, from heroic fantasy to straight-ahead science fiction to high fantasy. Brilliantly, the editors have also included Rudyard Kipling's 1904 story "They" -- and they promise that each edition of the anthology henceforth will include one century-old story from the annals of history.

The book should be appearing on shelves any day now -- it has a May pub-date which usually means that it starts appearing in April. If you have a young person in your life whom you want to introduce to a field that will teach her or him the most important lessons the world has to present; or if you are looking to reconnect with the field after neglecting the short story magazines and anthologies, then this book is the one for you.

My Tokyo Death Cult is a science fiction novel released under a CC license by Marc Horne -- haven't read it, but it's got a hell of an opener:

Japanese policemen's guns are small and sort of puny. Except when they are shooting at you. Right now, they are shooting at me and my companion and we are running scared. The Policemen's shots are a little tentative, like someone picking chewing gum out of their hair. In fairness to the police, I should mention that we are in Shinjuku station, the world's busiest. Currently it is occupied by... oh, I don't know... 2.5 Lichtensteins. I am on average 4 inches taller than those around me, and a crucial 4 inches to boot, so as I barge through the crowd, hurting everyone, I must remember to crouch. To help me remember this, I visualize two things: the cloth that hangs in front of every drinking establishment in this country and those photos of JFK's autopsy that my father and I discussed over breakfast in 1977.

Lessons learnt from OED's science
fiction effort

Lessons learnt from OED's science
fiction effort 05/02/2004 04:26 AM
The editors of the Oxford English Dictionary have begun to post lessons learnt from their first-of-its-kind call for entries of 2001, when it asked science fiction fans to submit sfnal words that were missing from the Dictionary.

Soon we were being deluged with dozens of e-mails a day, containing suggestions, citations, and questions about our work. Mail came from all over the world, and correspondents included several noted SF writers. It took months to fully catch up with the backlog (and the pace has reached more manageable levels). But the results have been spectacular. Some of the entries we have published from the project include Martian, meteor storm, mind-meld (from ‘Star Trek’), moon base, and multiverse, and out-of-sequence entries bot (a robot), filk (a type of song performed by SF fans), and Sturgeon's Law (‘90% of everything is crap’, formulated by writer Theodore Sturgeon)...

Science fiction has several advantages as a subject for this kind of investigation. The vocabulary is largely self-contained; SF terms tend to occur in SF and nowhere else, while, say, political language can be found anywhere and everywhere. The fans are particularly committed, often have linguistic interests, and are computer literate. They may also be more likely to be able to volunteer time than specialists in more academically oriented fields.
