Warren Ellis » The Loneliness Of The Long-Distance WIRED UK Columnist - 0 views

  • SF was never really about prediction. It was about extrapolation from the present condition, usually (in the classical traditional) to observe and comment upon the present condition. Which isn’t the same thing. "Prediction" is sf’s side effect.

      William Gibson's first published novel, mostly reckoned to be the first cyberpunk novel, although that's not undisputed, and there were short stories before that, some of which we've read.

      Russell Davies is the main force behind the recent revival of Doctor Who, as well as its spin-off Torchwood.
  • Advertising is probably the worst kind of SciFi in this regard. No integrity. No expectations that what is being presented has any relationship to possibility. Maybe SciFi as it was has switched places with advertising: Warren Ellis says SciFi does extrapolation. Advertising-as-SciFi does..what? Dishonest predicting?
