#sciencefiction #BrianAldiss #BrianWAldiss Autor Brian W. Aldiss wurde am heutigen Tag, dem 18. August, im Jahr 1925 geboren.

Koska scifin sukupolvialukset kiinnostavat otin reissulukemiseksi Brian Aldissin vuonna 1958 julkaistun Non Stop -teoksen. Kirjassa ihmiselämän ajallisen keston moninkertaisesti ylittävälle avaruusmatkalle on lähdetty useiden sukupolvien asuttamalla jättiläismäisellä aluksella. Vaikka teknologia ylläpitää aluksella maankaltaista elämää, kotiplaneetalta irtautuneen väestön elo ei luonnolisestikaan ole ongelmatonta. Ihmisluonto kohtaa tähtienvälisen avaruuden. #brianaldiss #scifi #sukupolvialukset

Just finished (re-)reading The History of the #Runestaff by #MichaelMoorcock

I love his 1960s British pop-culture references, but I don't get all of them:

• Jhone, Jhorg, Phowl, Rhunga are the #Beatles
• Chirshil is #Churchill
• Bjrin Adass — #BrianAldiss ? Why is he the Singing God?
• Jeajee Blad — #JGBallard
• Jh'Im Slas — Jim ??
• Aral Vilsn — #HaroldWilson

Wilson is father of Squeeze(?) and Balance of Credit. I need to look up the specific events of c.1968 to see what he's referring to.

Currently reading Non-Stop by Brian Aldiss, part of Gollancz's SF Masterworks line.

It's a great setup for a megadungeon campaign: the protagonist is part of a degenerate tribe living within a massive starship where everything has gone to crap. They explore the forest of hydroponic overgrowth hunting for meat. There are countless still-sealed rooms containing advanced tech, critical supplies, useless junk, terrifying monsters.

The World Is Everything: Hothouse by Brian Aldiss: Published in 1962, Hothouse by Brian Aldiss has elicited some pretty strong opinions in its time. Love it or hate it, the book presents a fascinating (although highly improbable) future Earth in which humanity is a trivial lifeform among many (and certainly less interesting than most) and where everything is food!

Originally published in five installments in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in 1961, Hothouse was published as a novel and won the Hugo Award for short fiction (a little oddly) in 1962. It is not a book focused on character or plot—here the world is everything, and it is an often bizarre, sometimes frightening place to travel through.

In the far, far future, the sun is burning larger and hotter, and the Earth has stopped spinning, so that one side always faces the sun while the other remains dark and cold. On this future Earth, the sun-warmed side is a riotous mass of vegetation dominated by one vast banyan tree, and within the jungle formed by the banyan’s “interlaced scaffolding,” an ongoing battle for sustenance is waged between the many and various alien-like lifeforms.

Humanity is an insignificant survivor in this world. Small bands of people, who are far smaller in stature than we are now and green-skinned, live in the jungle and die easily. Everything is food for everything else. Most plants are now omnivorous and have evolved in fantastical ways, developing camouflage and lures to draw food to them or becoming mobile in order to follow where food goes, often taking on insect and animal characteristics such as seen in the traversers, spider-like plants that cast webs between the Earth and the Moon, the wiltmilts who have long sticky tongues something like a chameleon’s (as do the giant flying seeds known as suckerbirds), and the killerwillows that hide beneath the sand, their roots now muscular tentacles for snaring food.

Aldiss’ vision of a deadly jungle in which vegetation is rife and everything is both predator and prey, every step potentially fateful, was fed by his wartime experiences in Burma. And characters certainly die with little or no spectacle, with the survivors saying only that “it is the way”—as their companions stumble into the mouths of waiting plants or are run through by giant wasp-like creatures—before stepping around and moving on. There can be no heroes or heroines in such a place because there is no way to overcome the larger obstacles posed by a world overrun with competing dangers—human life is utterly trivial in such a setting.

The characters we meet are therefore little more than names. Gren is the only consistent company for the reader, and even he, though a bolder and more inquisitive creature than his fellows, is driven by simple, barely understood instincts most of the time. His odyssey across half the world is less about him than it is the reader’s exploration of this future Earth with Aldiss playing guide, pointing out as many of the weird and wonderful things he’s thought up as he can, such that we encounter mutated people who have grown wingsuit-like skin between their arms and legs, a sentient fungus, giant insects who keep pet cats (sort of), angry seaweed, and a talking dolphin who prophesies the end of the world while carried about by a bent-backed old man. Yes, we may enjoy the scenery as we follow Gren’s journey; he simply aims to survive it.

1/2 Damals, als »A.I. – Artificial Intelligence« (2001) von #StevenSpielberg nach #StanleyKubrick und #BrianAldiss bei uns 4 Tage nach IX.XI. rauskam, fand ich den hübsch aber ziemlich meh und lüll. Seitdem nicht wieder geguckt. Jetzt, 23 Jahre später, hab ich den Film Dank dieser flappsig-emotionalen Analyse von FilmJoy wieder eine Chance gegeben und bin begeistert.
So ist das mit der Zeit: die macht Sachen mit uns. Schöne πάντα ῥεῖ-Grüße von Heraklid und so.

Oh look what arrived in the mailbox today! I never expected to see a new #MichaelMoorcock edited large format issue of #NewWorlds again. Particularly with a story by #PamelaZoline, whose "Heat Death of the Universe" completely blew my mind when I first read it. Not to mention a new Moorcock #JerryCornelius story! My copies of the large format New Worlds are pretty much my most treasured possessions, so this is a very exciting acquisition.

For those who are unaware, New Worlds was Britain's first professional #ScienceFiction magazine, originally edited by Ted Carnell from 1936 until 1964. When Mike Moorcock took over in 1964, it became the foremost publisher of #NewWave #SF #experimental #fiction - people such as #JGBallard #MervynPeake #BrianAldiss etc etc. I don't believe boundaries have been pushed anywhere as much since then. Amazing, mind-blowing stuff.

Definitely, I’m a #Space1999 booster, but it’s first season episodes could be so very dark.

That said, when we think of #1970s #Scifi #television, bridged between eras, the even less known #HarlanEllison concept #TheStarlost needs to be in the conversation too.

Both were shaped by the #postapocalpyse trend in #sciencefiction. Ellison intended The Starlost as a limited series, & despite disavowing it, it attracted #BrianAldiss & #UrsulaKLeGuin to production.
