  9. @Lizette603_23 Seems like it to me. Never been. Have read #StandonZanzibar #SciFi #JohnBrunner where it was one of the worldbuilding bits that it would be. For 2010.

    I'd also think DC is anomalous.

Da bambina mio padre mi metteva in mano Asimov, Heinlein e Vance con la stessa naturalezza con cui altri, più prudenti, consegnano le fiabe. È stata una fortuna enorme. Alla fantascienza devo la curiosità, il vizio di guardare di lato, l’abitudine a diffidare delle superfici lisce e […]

    #JohnBrunner est un auteur de #Sciencefiction qui n'est pas reconnu à sa juste valeur je trouve, surtout pour ses talents de prospectivistes.

    Il faut lire « Le troupeau aveugle » et « Tous à Zanzibar », là encore écrits dans les années 70 ; c'est presque du reportage sur ce qui se passe depuis une 20aine d'années !

    Zwei gefährliche Visionen von #LarryNiven und #JohnBrunner, die ich für #carcosa ins Deutsche übersetzen durfte.

  27. #Synthesis is a useful activity. In thinking, taking a couple of apparently unrelated pieces of knowledge and by combining them enabling an unexpected new thing; activity; business; thought ...

    As a full-time occupation of its own there are not many #synthetists.

    In #SciFi it crops up in #StandOnZanzibar by #JohnBrunner and #RiteOfPassage by #AlexeiPanshin the latter pointed out the need for another discipline, #Ordinology which I suppose is a blend of #library science and computation.

  32. @masek I actually had a full collection of John Brunner's published works, back before the flood. Including a lot of schlock. But when he was "on" he was absolutely dead on, wasn't he!

    La boite à livres m’a donné accès à de vieux "J’ai lu" des années 70, de Clifford D. #Simak et #JohnBrunner. C’est de la SF. Et j’adore ce côté délicieusement démodé de ces essais futuristes.

    Dans celui que je lis (difficilement), et qui fait que j’en parle en commentaire, c’est Brunner qui imagine une société où tout est interconnecté et traité par les ordinateurs.

    Il évoque une société malgré tout fragmenté, et le traducteur utilise le mot « tribalisé ». Les populations se sont tribalisées. Ils ont beau tous être connectés, les groupes humains se sont fragmentés, et se sont tribalisés.
