Dans son nouveau numรฉro, sorti en kiosques le 15 juin dernier, Usbek & Rica se demande si, en produisant des mondes futurs prenant la forme de descriptions outranciรจres du systรจme capitaliste, la science-fiction n'est pas la plus efficace des contre-cultures. ร cette occasion, la journaliste Anne de Malleray a rencontrรฉ l'รฉcrivain franรงais Alain Damasio pour parler de science-fiction et de contre-pouvoir, de Nietzsche et de transhumanisme, nouvelle religion dโun monde en voie de dรฉvitalisation.
Wanderers is a vision of humanity's expansion into the Solar System, based on scientific ideas and concepts of what our future in space might look like, if it ever happens. The locations depicted in the film are digital recreations of actual places in the Solar System, built from real photos and map data where available.
S'il est un film qui reprรฉsente les questions รฉthiques contemporaines relatives au gรฉnie gรฉnรฉtique, cโest sans doute Gattaca (Bienvenue ร Gattaca en franรงais) dโAndrew Niccol. Sorti en 1997, un an aprรจs la naissance de la brebis clonรฉe Dolly, il rรฉapparaรฎt encore rรฉguliรจrement dans les dรฉbats pour sa mise en scรจne, comme souvent en science-fiction, dโune sociรฉtรฉ techniquement avancรฉe, mais dystopique et inรฉgalitaire. Vingt ans et plusieurs avancรฉes technologiques et scientifiques plus tard, que nous dit Gattaca en 2017 ?
Jโai lu trรจs exactement 36 romans en 2016, en baisse de 6 ouvrages par rapport ร mon bilan de 2015ย ! De tous ces romans, goรปt personnel oblige, un nombre non nรฉgligeable est ร consonance scientifique. Voici une sรฉlection personnelle de ceux dont je recommande la lecture (et, pour mรฉmoire, les listes de 2014 et 2015)ย :
Dans un futur proche, l'ordre mondial a changรฉ. Avec ses 10 millions de chรดmeurs, la France fait dรฉsormais partie des pays pauvres. La population oscille entre rรฉvolte et rรฉsignation et trouve un exutoire dans des combats tรฉlรฉvisรฉs ultra violents oรน les participants sont dopรฉs en toute lรฉgalitรฉ et oรน tous les coups sont permis. Reda, dit Arรจs, est un ancien combattant qui vit de petits boulots de gros bras pour la police. Tout va changer lorsque sa soeur se fait arrรชter et qu'il doit tout mettre en oeuvre pour les sauver : elle et ses filles.
In a house that eerily recalls the aesthetic of Herโmodernist on the outside, studiedly rustic and artisanal on the insideโa young woman agonizes over whether she is human or a machine. She is a clone, retrieved from a mysteriously abandoned orbital outpost by a space patrol ship and returned to the bucolic paradise of Earth for study and observation. It soon turns out that she is the last survivor of a utopian project: Like her dead brothers and sisters, she was created to save her dying planet from environmental destruction. But her creator failed. The businessmen who overheated the atmosphere and polluted the oceans now grow rich from selling air and gas masks to the deformed, cave-dwelling survivors, convincing them that nothing more can be done.
Mรฉtal Hurlant was the daring magazine that broke all the rules and altered the course of science-fictionโs aesthetic forever
ย Le technoprogressisme, comme le progressisme avant lui et comme nombre dโautres mouvements politiques, a recours ร un rรฉcit dโanticipation implicite. Toute mouvement politique se construit en effet en intรฉgrant ร ses discours lโimage dโun avenir possible et souhaitable. Lโimagerie transhumaniste nรฉcessiterait ร elle seule une analyse (cโest en partie par elle que jโai moi-mรชme dรฉcouvert le mouvement). Le communisme, le libรฉralisme, lโanarchisme, le fรฉdรฉralisme โ tous ces objets politiques fabriquent dans leurs discours des rรฉcits et images dโanticipation. Par sa nature, le technoprogressisme ajoute une composante technique ร ces rรฉcits et se rapproche par consรฉquent beaucoup de la science-fiction โ il serait absurde et contre-productif de renier cette proximitรฉ structurante. Le concept mรชme de singularitรฉ technologique, apparemment inventรฉ par John von Neumann, a รฉtรฉ popularisรฉ par V. Vinge, auteur de science-fiction. Cโest aussi cette proximitรฉ qui est parfois moquรฉe par les bioconservateurs et technosceptiques โ le transhumanisme serait โde la SFโ.
Jeff Keller awoke to the shrill sound of his Thomas and Brewster Accura alarm. ย As he rolled over and sat up, motion detectors in the walls of his home sent light speed signals to the rest of his appliances that he was awake.
Watch this fantastic and breathtaking science fiction short film by the incredibly talented Richard Mans! See how a strange mechanical device lands on a desolate world and uses the planet to undergo a startling transformation, that has profound implications for an entire galaxy.
That much of Michael Solanaโs recent op-ed in this space is undoubtedly true. With widespread surveillance, the militarization of police, the stockpiling and application of data detailing minute aspects of our lives, our lives are increasingly dominated by technologyโthe workings of which the average citizen doesnโt fully understand, much less has control over. Wealth gaps, global warming, and seemingly boundless intolerance give us good reason to wonder how much time humans have left before we completely annihilate ourselvesโand thatโs a terrifying, heartbreaking sentence to type, no matter how many times other people have typed it.
The news is bleak. With Ebola on U.S. soil, we are one infected monkey away from the plot of Outbreak. Russia is threatening to invade the Ukraine. We are blowing things up in Iraq again, where starving children are being massacred. There is overpopulation, and climate change; there is peak oil; there is a truly alarming spike in the diagnosis of autism. We are a society faced with many problems. Things, to put it mildly, could be better. Technology, for its natural inclination toward radical change, is perhaps the only thing that can make them better in a major, scalable way. But in the 21st Century, the average American is overwhelmingly afraid of artificial intelligence, NASA has abandoned its shuttle program, and the tech industry is the new darling villain of journalists across the nation. While innovation has improved our lives in almost every way imaginable, people are more frightened of the future than they have ever been. And after Battlestar Galactica, can you really blame them?

Science fiction is one of those literary genres that is both loved and hated in equal measure. For its detractors, itโs all silly silver suits and bug eyed monsters, for its enthusiasts, it provides a fascinating insight into humanity and a myriad of potential tech fuelled futures. We fall firmly into the second category and one very big reason for that is Isaac Asimov, a man who opened our eyes to the wonders of science and space at a very young age. This is one reason we believe, that despite being up against a legion of fantastic sci-fi writers including the legendary Arthur C. Clarke and Robert Heinlein, Asimov is the greatest ever.
France's highest court on Wednesday upheld several convictions for "organized fraud" against the Church of Scientology. A representative from the Church told The Local the ruling was tantamount to "religious persecution" by France.
this isn't meant to be a radical re-imagining of the film or a recreation of a 40's-style trailer. As many have pointed out, Blade Runner is already very "Noir." I just wanted to take those aspects of the film and accentuate them into something hopefully interesting.

As a fan of science fiction, I am often excited when Hollywood decides to make a sci-fi movie. Or at least, I used to be. These days it seems exceedingly rare that science fiction feature films are any good. At best theyโre lackluster or confusing. At the worst, they make me want to throw things at the screen.
