Science Fiction Concatenation's What's New

A chronological log of updates to
the Science Fact and Science Fiction Concatenation e-magazine.

You can either scroll down here to find the latest, or alternatively find out from the specialist indexes about recent, SF news, all our science fact and science fiction book reviews, top science fiction films (including for past years), the forthcoming national & international science fiction convention and film diary, and articles or reach these indexes from the front page. (Newcomers to this site may first want to see an introduction.)

New up...

Most recently posted we have our autumnal edition. (Well, autumnal in our northern hemisphere, but we're sure our southern friends work it out.)  Its large-ish seasonal news page has sections on film, books, TV, as well as the season's forthcoming books listing of new titles from the major imprints in the British Isles, many of which will soon be available elsewhere.  And then there's the news page's science as well as science and SF interface section.

This is the last seasonal edition in this our 30th year of SF² Concatenation doing SF.  This is something that could not have happened without the support of its team and the current band of contributors . If back in 1987, and our first (print) edition, anyone had said we'd still be around the best part of a third-of-a-century later then none of us would have believed it.  Looking forward we do plan to continue for a few years so as to reach this one-third-century mark. After that we'll see.

Your good deed, possibly?

Samuel R. Delany journal campaign needs your support.  We have coverage within this season's news page.

Forthcoming

Mid November we will have the third this year of our choices as to the best of last year's Nature 'Futures' SF stories. As usual it is a one-page (PDF) short story that has either a bit of a twist and/or edge.  And then mid-December a pre-Christmas treat with the last of our 'Futures' selection for the year.

Meanwhile, hopefully you should find something to tickle your fancy below...

• Last of the Guerrilla Gardeners by David Clements
  Short Story (1 page PDF). When big business controls the intellectual property rights to biological species, will gardening become as much a political act as a hobby...?   Now, Dave Clements is not just a scientist into SF (just the sort of person for whom Concatenation is primarily (but not solely) aimed), he has contributed a non-fiction, science article to us before (see 'The Hidden History of the Universe'). So it was a delight when -- during our annual sift at Christmas -- it happened that his story got short-listed as our selection of one of the best published by Nature the previous year. Them's the breaks. Enjoy.

  Short Story (1 page PDF). Falling with a broken parachute! What to do? Why, call the cleverest man in the world!
  This story actually came out December 2010 in Nature but just missed our yearly assessment for 2011 posting. We thought it so good that we simply had to carry it over.   But don't worry, we have three more 'Futures' stories (our selection of the best from 2011) to come in 2012. And as for the author, maths teacher Tony Ballantyne, he becomes the first 'Futures' author to have had two stories selected by us! Why not check out his novels Blood and Iron, Capacity, Divergence and Recursion.
