Sep.18, 2009 in Uncategorized#1: Dune (Frank Herbert) Science Fiction doesn’t get much better then this. Dune is every Science Fiction aficionado’s wet dream. Many people claim Dune is Science Fiction’s answer to “Lord of the Rings” and I have to agree: it sure is. For more details www. be-a-stargazer. com There are many good science fiction books, but Dune is indeed a giant among giants. It truly is a pinnacle of Science Fiction literary achievement.

Cyberpunk author Bruce Sterling about augmented reality, a fledgling industry he obviously loves but which will be confronted with lots of hype. Like “virtual reality”, “augmented reality” is maybe not the best of names, but we’ll have to live with it for the time being… Other topics: how cheerful will that industry be once the obvious first major players come in: porn, drugs, spam and political extremist guys? Is there an industry code of ethics needed? What about the sleaze-factor? In fact

Sorry about the guest commentator's volume. I'll see what I can do about it, but it's going to be like this for a few videos at least.
At this point I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like this is going to be a feature length film. I'm still waiting for details from our friend D'mooN over at Opium (who gave us the heads up) to provide further details, but I can tell you that the 50 stills and pieces of concept art we have are nothing short of stunning, sort of a mixture of scifi, cyberpunk, steampunk, and Shel Silverstein (see Where the Sidewalk Ends). From what I can gather, it's possibly post apocalyptic and is about the slums

Because I admire Ben Rosenbaum's Identity and Othering in "The Ant King and Other Stories": An Analysis , I thought I'd take a look back, too. race in my work (in roughly chronological order) Cats Have No Lord is a fantasy about a dark-skinned woman. You might expect the publisher to put her on the cover. Instead, Ace Books used her love interest, who looks like a white guy, though he's half human and half elf. Halfbreeds in fantasy and science fiction can be rich metaphors, but le

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson Published by Bantam Books, 1992 Heralded as one of the greatest science-fiction novels of all-time, regarded as one of the definitive novels of the cyberpunk sub-genre, and fervently recommended by virtually every geek I’ve ever come in contact with, it was a fairly safe bet, considering what a contrary bastard I am, that I would be exceptionally disappointed by Snow Crash . And I was. I think. Actually, I still haven’t properly sorted out all my feelings

We discussed many things, from the sweet smell of tulips in the springtime sunshine to our favorite Yul Brynner movie. Eventually we got around to talking about their upcoming Stalin vs. Martians . Slated to be released yesterday , the game was delayed by just a few days. We were reminded by Mezmer Games Executive Producer Tom Söderlund

I recently had the opportunity to ask Robert J. Sawyer a few questions about his exciting new book, WWW: Wake (releasing April 7, 2009), the first of a new trilogy “of the Web and its awakening.” Rob has won Hugo and Nebula awards for previous novels. WWW: Wake is his 18th novel. Without further ado, here is our interview: One of the things I enjoy most about your novels is how alive the characters are. Were there any particular difficulties with this novel over previous novels as far

This was created for my Final Year Project at university. The aim of the project was to capture the atmosphere of the cyberpunk-noir genre. Most assets were modelled and textured by me except for obvious crysis assets such as the trees and people. This video is just a quick fly through to show off the environment.
This is a video of my Final Year project at University. The aim of the project was to capture the atmosphere of the cyberpunk genre. Most assets were created and textured by me apart from obvious Crysis assets such as the trees and people. A bit of noir style was added to enhance the mood. The video consists of 4 still shots which have been made to view/enjoy the atmosphere I wanted to create.
Over at WebUrbanist there is a great post that looks at how advertisers, designers and marketers saw the future through what the site labels "retrofuturistic ads". The ads are great - clearly selling the future as clean, bright and sleek. No steampunk or cyberpunk here folks. These ads are all about a Jetson's type future: smooth lines, spaceships and clean air. Check out the quote from the parody ad on the right: "Building a Fake Future: In hoping the real future will show up to mate with

Gunfire translates into any language, as does incoherent screaming. Gerald Butler’s Scottish action cred also seems to shine through amid the smashing and bashing and general mayhem. We have for you, via the kind folks at Quiet Earth, the first trailer I’ve seen of “The Game”, a cyberpunk actioner starring Gerard Butler, Michael C. Hall, Alison Lohman, and John Leguizamo.

Mad Dog and I were carrying on one of our tangential movie emails and he happened to pass along this question: what would you put in a Contemporary Japanese Cinema curriculum given 12 weeks and only 1 film per week. It seemed like a fun topic worth some real thought. My first and most fundamental problem is that I’m just not nearly an expert on Japan or Japanese cinema . I’ve never been to Japan, I don’t speak the language and I’m not a Japanophile to the extent of some of my friends. I fin

Based on that metric, the largest is associated with Toxian, above, a beautifully squalid, dark cyberpunk city. In total, four of the ten are medieval fantasy-themed, three

When it comes to Christian literature, the genre of speculative fiction – sci-fi, fantasy, horror, etc. – is one of the most difficult to understand. While spec-fic titles comprise a significant chunk of the general market, Christian alternatives are noticeably scarce in religious bookstores. Why is this? Some suggest demographics, others point to a socially, theologically conservative readership. The opinions are many and varied. In order to further explore the subject of Christian Speculative

In some of my earlier writing about special effects, I regularly found myself banging a particular drum, and eventually had to stop myself getting repetitive. In my research on special effects, I continually found practitioners, and some critics espousing a belief that virtual actors were soon going to reach such a perfect state of simulation that spectators would be unable to tell them apart from the real thing. The following comes from a paper I wrote for Stacy Gillis’ collection The Matrix Tr

There's more than one way to explain zombie movies. Apply post-modern literary theory to zombies and you can end up with all kinds of crazy shit. Stephen King wrote that zombies represent the fear of cannibalism. The explanation at the current height of intellectual fashion equates zombies with homeless people.It originated as an implication in the 2002 British zombie movie 28 Days Later, drawn with shots of shopping carts. Later, the South Park episode Night Of The Living Homeless made the comp

Here in Arizona the voters decided to make gay marriage even more illegal—it was done out of the tedious fear that latte sipping activist judges might try to defy the will of the people—so best not just outlaw it, but put the prohibition into the state constitution as well—as if that would stop a renegade judge. But in California, the Republican judges on the California Supreme Court had already discovered the right to gay marriage—just as a few years back the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial C

LESS CYBERPUNK than it would like to be, The Matrix instead hearkens back to an older breed of science fiction — in fact, at its best, it eerily recalls the elaborate speculative fiction of Jules Verne. There’s an old-world quality to it, ignoring the black leather and shotgun blasts, that adds real texture to its simple plot. Unfortunately, The Matrix indulges its story, explaining its simplest concepts over and over, as if to a 6-year-old child. We already understand that in The Matrix’s world
