17. 87.02.04: Science Fiction and the Future
- www.yale.edu
- Science Fiction and the Future.
- Other teachers could easily begin with short stories and move into science fiction novels.
- Before discussing the strategies for teaching this unit, a few words are necessary to explain why I teach the future, and why I use science fiction as one means of doing this.
- How, then, to introduce new knowledge—specifically knowledge about the future? Our students, as mentioned above, are all in contact with science fiction—some good, some bad, most of it in the forms of movies and T. ... A logical next step is to introduce students to science fiction short stories.
- Why science fiction? When I first began to consider a topic for this unit, I felt almost apologetic for wanting to use science fiction with my students. ...
- I began by looking for a definition of science fiction, but discovered that that is not as easy as it sounds. ... ” There were, of course, earlier science fiction writers such as Poe, Verne, Wells and Shelley whose 19th century scientific romances serve as a link towards 20th century science fiction (Parrinder XIII, XVII).
- Mark Rose, editor of Science Fiction: A Collection of Critical Essays, defines science fiction as the romance of the scientific age. ... ” He states that most science fiction narratives follow the quest romance pattern, and that the characters in a story can be looked at through their relationship to the quest (1, 3).
- Another definition, much broader than Rose’s, states that science fiction “covers every type of story in which the centre of attention is on the results of a possible, though not actual, change in the condition of life” (Rose 54). Critics of science fiction do not even agree on the use of the name “science fiction” for this genre. ... Lundwall, in Science Fiction: What It’s All About, states that “speculative fiction” would be a better name. ...
- What I began to find instead, over and over, was verification for using science fiction in the classroom. ... Science fiction “teaches adaptability and elasticity of mind in the face of change” (Lundwall 155). ... Very important, also, is the idea that science fiction writers see the future as a consequence of our present day. ... Science fiction presents many issues from many different points of view for students to examine.

- Let's face reality: for the civilized reader, too many--most--web sites about science-fiction or fantasy literature recall American Bandstand: "Uh, wull, Dick, I give it a 86 'cause it had a good beat an' yuh could dance to it. ... John Harrison have written better science fiction than Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov, this site should be of real interest to you; if not, you are in the wrong place. ... This site seeks to be a wine card of science-fiction and fantasy literature. For long now the literati have scorned both science-fiction and fantasy books, when they have deigned to notice them at all; sad to say, the responses from within the community of science-fiction and fantasy readers (and writers) almost invariably call to mind an old saying: "I can save myself from my enemies, but only God can save me from my friends. " Another aim of this site is to be a place to which science-fiction and fantasy aficionados can fearlessly send intelligent, civilized readers not familiar with the field. ...
- What we have here is a site dedicated to presenting works in the fields of science-fiction and fantasy--sometimes collectively called "speculative fiction"--that get high grades for literary quality without needing any bonus points just for being science fiction or fantasy. The books are judged as literature, not as "science-fiction books" or "fantasy books". ...

20. Libraries in Science Fiction
- www.ku.edu
- What is a library? A room or a building housing a collection of books? The collection itself? Or is it information organized into some accessible form? One of science fiction's techniques is to analyze concepts for their irreducible meanings and then to synthesize new and sometimes surprising combinations of ideas out of that basic material. A science-fiction writer, then, might define a library as a collection of data organized so that information can be identified and withdrawn quickly and usefully. ...
- But we still need external checks on our intuitions and our received wisdomwhat we call scienceif we are to behave rationally, that is, if we are to function effectively in the real world. ...
- Keller, who was a psychologist at a mental hospital for most of his professional career and transformed his experiences into fiction, also provided a look at the other side of the librarian's life, with a 1949 wish-fulfillment novel titled The Eternal Conflict, in which librarian Henry Cecil is carried back in time to act as librarian of a dream library. ...
- Other images of the library in science fiction are more modest. ... 's 1960 novel A Canticle for Leibowitz, after the devastation of a nuclear war, a monastery collects and copies the books and artifacts of science and engineering, just as the medieval monasteries copied, without understanding them, classical manuscripts. ...
- Nevertheless, computers do represent, if not a threat, a source of dangerlike the wires whose insulation has begun to wear thin or the pressure cooker whose valve is stuckand science fiction allows us to anticipate those dangers and, as Asimov suggests, to guard against them.
- As a consequence science-fiction readers feel at the end of the story that though humanity may die out what is definingly human, curiosity, will continue. ...
- Campbell award for the best science-fiction novel of the year, may belong to the cyberpunk tradition because of its focus on the realignment of power caused by the information explosion and international corporations, but it lacks the punk fondness for flouting traditional values. ...
- Only the surface of that future has been touched by science-fiction writers and only a few scattered examples can be cited here; the mind of the science-fiction writer, after all, is concerned with writing entertaining fiction, not predicting the future. In the process of entertaining, however, the science-fiction writer may chance upon ideas that make us imagine more dramatically the nature of the problems we face.
- Campbell said in 1953 that "fiction is only dreams written out. Science fiction consists of the hopes and dreams and fears (for some dreams are nightmares) of a technically based society. " He also said that science fiction allows us to practice in a no-practice area. ...
- To demonstrate that visions have a way of realizing themselvesthe process goes from vision to fiction to realityBen Bova in 1989 produced a comic novel called Cyberbooks in which he described the invention of an electronic book: a book-sized machine that sells for about $200 into which readers insert wafers that cost only pennies. ...
- Science fiction's task is to help us imagine it better.
