The Future In Blogs
I like to see what other writers are doing on their blogs. Three of my favourite blogs all deal to some extent with the future. (There’s a surprise, I hear you mutter – you’re a science fiction writer.)
Actually, SF is often as much to do with the present, and much though I love the genre I’m not really a scientist.
But Gareth L Powell has a clear view of what may come, and in thi
s excellent post he deals with the implications of a future that looks increasingly influenced by Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Meanwhile, Madeline Ashby is working on various projects involving the futures in media, and is also blogging for Tor about the differences between her fiction and her futurism work.
Charlie Stross is perhaps the pre-eminent blogger in this area and generates more ideas in a couple of weeks than some writers do in a year. Here he blogs about obsolete threats to the world, while here he posts about potential new ones.
