    Extractions: In the late 1990s, Ken MacLeod rapidly carved out a reputation for a highly politicised perspective on science fiction. His first four novels - The Star Fraction The Stone Canal The Cassini Division , and The Sky Road - writhe with political and technological opportunities and alternatives available to us in the 21st century and beyond. Known as The Fall Revolution , the books inform each other, but form a collective rather than a sequence - rarely sharing major characters and at times in active conflict with each other on what will happen in the next century or two. Though often considered in Britain to have a fairly left-wing stance, two of these books won the Prometheus Award for Libertarian Fiction - before their US publication. Almost as obvious as his knowledge of politics is the familiarity with Scotland in his books. MacLeod was born in the Hebrides and went to high school and university in south west Scotland. He subsequently spent over a decade in London before returning north in 1990 with his family to reside in Edinburgh. Though he moved to London for postgraduate study, he made the transition from scientist to computer programmer during his time there. The influence of this career is apparent in his work also, in his application of geek ideology and methodology as well as comprehension of the technology and its challenges.

    Extractions: Evolution's Shore MACLEOD, KEN THE CASSINI DIVISION Ellen May Ngwethu is a member of an elite defence force known as the Cassini Division. The role of the Division is to defend the Solar System from the threat posed by the Outwarders. Many years prior, a group of humans experimented with downloading minds into machines. They left the System via a wormhole and became known as the Outwarders. Over time they evolved into post-human beings that experience life at a quickened pace. On their return to the Solar System they took up residence on Jupiter. Over a period of centuries, Earth has been bombarded by space-borne computer viruses emanating from Jupiter. The people of Earth have had to develop technology that avoids the damage possible from these viruses. Electronics and radio technology are both susceptible. Rather than use e-mail, humans now use c-mail which makes use of chemicals, to communicate.

    Extractions: This page is generated from my library database, which I generated with a bar-code scanner (with some help from the Web). Yes, I really own all these books. Have I read them all? The vast majority, certainly. In this list, there are probably ten or twenty books that I don't ever intend to read. (Don't ask why I own them.) Another ten, perhaps, are books that I intend to read someday, but have never been in the right mood to pick up. And then there are recent purchases (which may not even be on this list yet). The recent-purchase pile is usually one or two books, but it can reach a height of ten or even twenty if I find a juicy new used-book store or go to a con. Then it shrinks. Any book still unread after a month, if not sooner, qualifies as "read-someday". Do I ever get rid of books? Rarely. I have a separate list of the 15 books I have sold or given away. (Please don't write and ask if you can buy books from me. The answer is generally "Sorry, no".) Do I remember what's in all of these books? Hell no. Did I enjoy these books? Mostly, yes. I don't have reviews of my collection, but I have written brief comments about the most recent acquisitions.

    Extractions: Just catching up on email since I've been offline since Thursday, I see the firewall/tunneling over HTTP thread is flaring on the SOAP list . There are valid points on all sides, naturally, but your typical mail list is like a conference room with dozens of participants. It doesn't matter how intelligent or knowledgable the participants are, if they don't understand how to properly focus and direct a discussion then chaos results. The end result of this thread will be like a lot of others: nothing. By the time the thread ends there will have been very little coherent information that can be garnered from the thread that anyone could use to make any usable design choices or decisions. Are there solutions? Yes. Solutions range from simply maintaining a list of points and counterpoints all the way up to informal and formal facilitation and discussion techniques. Will any solution be used? Most likely not.

    Extractions: a feature by Ken MacLeod William Gibson, one of the best current science fiction writers, has recently said: 'The best SF of the Nineties is on CNN. Hard to beat that garbage-module slamming into space station Mir!' And indeed the cooperation between Russia and the West on the Mir space station may be the perfect symbol for the present state of affairs: actually existing capitalism relying for its life-support on the clapped-out projects of formerly-existing socialism, lurching from one crisis to another and going around in circles. What happens to SF when the future goes dark? To answer that question we need to look back to when the future seemed bright. The past of SF as a self-conscious, largely American-centred genre can be mapped fairly closely to social developments. What the SF critic John Clute has aptly called 'Agenda SF' flourished roughly from the 1920s to the late 1950s. Although inevitably tracking the vicissitudes of boom, slump, world war and Cold War; including much of counter-current, query, and dissent; and encompassing many developments of literary style and scientific/technological speculation, Agenda SF retained its coherence as an ongoing projection of humanity's - and capitalism's - advance. The consensus stages of this Future History included first the exploration, then the colonization, of the solar system; the launching of gigantic 'interstellar arks', with generations living and dying en route to Alpha Centauri; until some future Edison/Einstein cracked the intractable problem of the light-speed limit, and opened the way to the stars. A great explosion of human pioneers would swarm across the galaxy, and be eventually unified into an Empire which would, inevitably, Decline and Fall ... and beyond this Fall, new heights would rise.

    Extractions: by Mac Tonnies Ken MacLeod is one of science fiction's most intriguing voices. His novels (the politically charged "Fall Revolution" sequence and the subsequent "Engines of Light" trilogy) are full of ideas and wit; MacLeod's take on the future is uproarious and heady, full of Kafkaesque intrigue, sly cultural commentary and head-spinning technology. MacLeod's tales achieve results beyond the wildest dreams of most contemporary SF. In a field largely governed by conformity, MacLeod has distinguished himself as an original, provocative voice in the space of only a few novels; "Asimov's" has called him a "one-man revolution" and Kim Stanley Robinson has likened him to a nova appearing in our sky. Subversive, observant and informed, MacLeod's fiction redefines the parameters of the genre. Related links: The Early Days of a Better Nation Salon.com interview with Ken MacLeod THE STONE CANAL (Second in "Star Fraction" sequence) "The Stone Canal" is a turbulent novel that jumps backward and forward through history to chart humanity's move off-planet. MacLeod's often dense and obtuse near-future political wrangling is intriguingly juxtaposed with some of the best technological extrapolation in the genre; MacLeod uses science fiction conventions (i.e., robots, androids and extraplanetary colonies) to deconstruct the machinations of allegiance and the role of personal volition in society. "The Stone Canal" is arguably a better novel than "The Cassini Division" (see below), if a bit more difficult. Cerebral and gutsy, "The Stone Canal" epitomizes its author's uniquely partisan perspective.
