AURORA vs MANIFEST DESTINY | Xeno Swarm
https://xenoswarm.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/aurora-vs-manifest-destiny
Multiple Estrangements in Philosophy and Science Fiction. AURORA vs MANIFEST DESTINY. July 22, 2015. This post is a set of musings occasioned by a dissenting review. Of Kim Stanley Robinson’s new novel AURORA. I have mixed feelings about this review. I think that it ends in magic: “uploading” minds as the solution to space exploration. For me this is a meaningless techno-scientific phantasm. But it raises the problem of what happens if we discover life in another star system? August 3, 2015 at 5:30 am.

Review: Ancillary Justice | Xeno Swarm
https://xenoswarm.wordpress.com/2014/08/02/review-ancillary-justice
Multiple Estrangements in Philosophy and Science Fiction. August 2, 2014. August 3, 2014. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. IDENTITY IS SYNCHRONIC, INDIVIDUALITY IS DIACHRONIC. Identity is synchronic, or belonging seamlessly to a larger collective; individuality is diachronic, or narrative, differentiating. That’s the lesson of the book for me. View all my reviews.

NO STARSHIP, NO CRY: AURORA by Kim Stanley Robinson | Xeno Swarm
https://xenoswarm.wordpress.com/2015/07/15/no-starship-no-cry-aurora-by-kim-stanley-robinson
Multiple Estrangements in Philosophy and Science Fiction. NO STARSHIP, NO CRY: AURORA by Kim Stanley Robinson. July 15, 2015. July 16, 2015. The whole story is a science-inspired deconstruction of the fantasy of traveling to the stars, by taking that fantasy literally. Yet the story is metaphorical too: the starship is a prison, ideology is a prison. The novel seeks to establish that the “technological sublime” does not take us outside our prison, but just transports it elsewhere. Maybe Robinson’s ...

Philip K. Dick Review. The Crack in Space (1966). March 14, 2015. I know this blog has been quiet for too long. The reason for this was that I have been busy finishing my book on Philip K. Dick. It is being published by a great small press specializing in Philip K. Dick Studies: Wide Books. The book is available now from their Web site. I have also started teaching again, which has been a drain on my time. I am now eager to re-start this project. View all posts by tashqueedagg →. The Crack in Space (1966).
