Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fantascienza - rivista (63 pagine) - Uno speciale su Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga e servizi su Il Regno del Pianeta delle Scimmie e Il problema dei tre corpi Tra le saghe più iconiche del cinema di fantascienza spicca per originalità la saga di Mad Max, creata e diretta da George Miller, ambientata in uno scenario postapocalittico. Il primo film Interceptor è del 1979 e ha come protagonista Mel Gibson, nei panni dell'ex poliziotto Max Rockatansky, detto "Mad Max" o "Il guerriero della strada", che si trova a combattere altri guerrieri in uno scenario postapocalittico. Sono poi arrivati altri quattro film, l’ultimo dei quali è ora nelle sale italiane con il titolo di Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, con protagonisti Anya Taylor-Joy e Chris Hemsworth. A questa saga è dedicato lo speciale del numero 256 di Delos Science Fiction, la nostra rivista di approfondimento, con due articoli di Arturo Fabra. Ancora Fabra analizza la serie TV Il problema dei tre corpi, nella sezione servizi, dove abbiamo pubblicato l’introduzione a Robot Story. Dal mito dell'uomo meccanico all'alba dell'Intelligenza Artificiale, il nuovo saggio, edito da Delos Digital, del giornalista Remo Guerrini, che si pone la domanda: Cosa lega Omero all’Intelligenza Artificiale? e un approfondimento sul film Il Regno del Pianeta delle Scimmie, diretto da Wes Ball, che continua la saga cinematografica che vede contrapposte le scimmie e gli umani. Nella sezione rubriche, segnaliamo l’uscita sul mercato anglosassone di un nuovo romanzo dello scrittore americano Jack Campbell e un’intervista impossibile alla scrittrice Ursula K. Le Guin. Andrea Cattaneo ci racconta di come la cultura pop ha trattato il tema servizi segreti, con un particolare focus sulla fantascienza, mentre Antonino Fazio ci spiega come viene “costruita la realtà”, tirando in ballo in ballo Philip K. Dick. L’anteprima narrativa di questo mese è Panthalassa, l'atteso seguito di Futuro invisibile, uno dei primi romanzi solarpunk italiani e vincitore del Premio Odissea 2018, della coppia Emanuele Boccianti e Luca Persiani, edito da Delos Digital, mentre il racconto è di Giancarlo Manfredi e ha per titolo Test in Single Blind. Rivista fondata da Silvio Sosio e diretta da Carmine Treanni.

Download or read book Gender and the Quest in British Science Fiction Television written by Tom Powers and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subjects of this book constitute a significant cross section of BBC science fiction television. With such characters as the Doctor (an enigmatic time-traveling alien), Kerr Avon (a problematic rebel leader), Dave Lister (a slovenly last surviving human) and Captain Jack Harkness (a complex omnisexual immortal), these shows have both challenged and reinforced viewer expectations about the small-screen masculine hero. This book explores the construction of gendered heroic identity in the series from both production and fan perspectives. The paradoxical relationships between the producers, writers and fans of the four series are discussed. Fan fiction, criticism and videos are examined that both celebrate and criticize BBC science fiction heroes and villains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From advice columnist Meredith Goldstein, a dazzling, romantic, and emotionally resonant YA debut about a teen science whiz in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who tries to crack the chemical equation for lasting love and instead wreaks havoc on herself and the boys in her life. For seventeen-year-old Maya, the equation for happiness is simple: a dream internship at MIT + two new science nerd friends + a perfect boyfriend = one amazing summer. Then Whit dumps her out of the blue. Maya is miserable until she discovers that her scientist mother, before she died, was conducting research on manipulating pheromones to enhance human attraction. If Maya can finish her mother’s work, maybe she can get Whit back. But when her experiment creates chaos in her love life, she realizes that maybe love and loss can’t be understood using the scientific method. Can she learn to trust the unmeasurables of love and attraction instead?

Download or read book Fictions in Science written by Mauricio Suárez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-10-26 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science is popularly understood as being an ideal of impartial algorithmic objectivity that provides us with a realistic description of the world down to the last detail. The essays collected in this book—written by some of the leading experts in the field—challenge this popular image right at its heart, taking as their starting point that science trades not only in truth, but in fiction, too. With case studies that range from physics to economics and to biology, Fictions in Science reveals that fictions are as ubiquitous in scientific narratives and practice as they are in any other human endeavor, including literature and art. Of course scientific activity, most prominently in the formal sciences, employs logically precise algorithmic thinking. However, the key to the predictive and technological success of the empirical sciences might well lie elsewhere—perhaps even in scientists’ extraordinary creative imagination instead. As these essays demonstrate, within the bounds of what is empirically possible, a scientist’s capacity for invention and creative thinking matches that of any writer or artist.
