James Patrick Kelly's Strangeways Number 3

Description

Hugo and Nebula award winning writer James Patrick Kelly returns with a guided tour of the end of the world as we know it. Having a hard time keeping up with the sweeping changes in technology and culture? Wondering where it’s all going to? So have many futurists and science fiction writers. In fact, some have predicted that a techno-cultural Singularity is imminent, a moment in the not-too-distant future when the accelerating rate of change opens onto a post-human future. Here are two stories of the coming Singularity. In “The Edge of Nowhere” survivors of a Singularity find themselves trapped in a strange village where nothing seems real, not even themselves. And in “Barry Westphall Crashes the Singularity” a guy steps out of a bar and into the future because a world-spanning artificial intelligence is prying into his sex life. All this plus an essay speculating on the likelihood that our kids will be software when they grow up are featured in Strangeways Number Three.

Lightspeed Magazine, February 2011

Description

Lightspeed Magazine is a monthly science fiction magazine that features all types of sf, from near-future, sociological soft sf, to far-future, star-spanning hard sf, and anything and everything in between:

Our lead story for February is “Long Enough and Just So Long” by Cat Rambo, the tale of two teen, Heinleinesque Moon-residents who meet a liberated sexbot from Earth.

Next up is “The Passenger” by Julie E. Czerneda, the tale of a man and a committee aboard a generation ship, that examines justice, hypocrisy, art, and our ability to rationalize and explain away the most horrific things.

New author Ken Liu also explores the creation of digital lifeforms in his first story for Lightspeed, “Simulacrum,” in which the innovator of a vividly-realistic holographic technology finds that creating and interacting with fake people may be easier than maintaining relationships with real ones.

“Breakaway, Backdown” by Hugo, Nebula, and Locus award-winning author James Patrick Kelly gives the reader a chance to be a fly on the wall during a conversation about the allure and perils of space.
