Ebook clarkesworld magazine issue 112 january 2016 archive E Catherine Tobler The Abduction of Europa I have not cared much for Tobler s fiction either and nothing about this story changed my mind Her prose is a little too indulgent for me There s a nice SFnal premise here but my eyes kept wandering off the page and when I finally pushed through to the end it didn t feel like the journey was worth it. Clarkesworld magazine issue 112 january 2016y pdf The longer works were however worth the cover price Rich Larson Extraction Request Larson is quickly becoming a go to short fic author for me His bio says he s only 23 and he s too young to be this good This MilSF novelette is like most of his other works a collage of familiar genre conventions but he s the kind of writer who can make the old stuff feel new again This is just a very entertaining story about a seriously FUBARed military unit full of conscripts trying to survive attacks from a hostile alien organism while they wait for extraction which they are low on the priority list to receive Larson s writing can be a little over enthusiastic at times which shows his age but I m interested to see if his ambition and ingenuity grows as his writing ability matures As it is he s got raw talent and skill than he has any right to possess this early in his career. Book clarkesworld magazine issue 112 january 2016 edition Bao Shu Everybody Loves Charles This novella is the true gem in the issue Bao Shu has come to the English speaking world courtesy of the amazing invaluable utterly tireless super hero that is Ken Liu I ve been gobbling up all the translated Chinese works short and long that Liu has been dishing out where does he find the time and Bao is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors in any language If you read only this story about a celebrity personality with an insanely intensive around the clock livefeed it would be worth your hard earned dollars to buy this issue. Clarkesworld Magazine, Issue 112, January 2016tu Clarkesworld 112 also has a nice Robert Silverberg reprint from a Jack Vance tribute collection an enlightening essay on artificial intelligence and an interview with award winning cover artist Julie Dillon all worth reading Science Fiction Fantasy Review for Old Paint by Megan LindholmA sentimental sci fi little story about a single mom and her father s old station wagon set in a future where almost all cars are smart I was used with fantasy from Robin Hobb so I got a little harder into the story but I ended up enjoying it a whole lot Science Fiction Fantasy Old Paint by MEGAN LINDHOLM A sweet short sci fi story about an old car and family love. Book clarkesworld magazine issue 112 january 2016 edition It can be found here Science Fiction Fantasy The complete opposite to Christine set some 30 years in the future Main protagonist is the family of a single mom who had a quite wild youth She inherits an old station car from the 2020s old from the point of view of her children but quite futuristic from mine with its artificial intelligence The story involves some action with nano viruses turning cars aggressive and the old car has its moments This SF part philosophizes on AI reliability with safety relevant themes Maybe it is also related to Pixar Cars But at the core of the story is the relationship of the family members the deceased grandpa and the car Technology and social relations without horror loving it Science Fiction Fantasy Okay so this was the first time for me reading Clarkesworld and subscribing to a short sff magazine of any kind and I have to say there were some ups and downs but that is to be expected of course I began by reading on of the Classic Fiction reads which are reprints and I started out with The True Vintage of Erzuine Thale by Robert Silverberg which was very classic in tone This is a story which somewhat reminded me of Poe although maybe that was my imagination running away with me and was all about a rather eccentric situation with a man who drank huge quantities of wine each day and complained about life He also happened to be in possession of a vintage wine of some renown so that also added to the story For me this was easily a 3. Clarkesworld magazine issue 112 january 2016 epub download 5 read as it was fun and I liked revisiting the classic style of fantasy writing It was engaging throughout and I liked the way it was worded and the overall tones of the story It felt very rich Everybody Loves Charles by Bao Shu was probably one of my favourite short stories as it was sci fi and engaging in all the right ways This is a fairly long story which talks about the various methods of technology evolving over time and how this works It s all about livecasting which I interpreted a the evolvement of livestreaming which we already have today and it was utterly fascinating to me to see the ways in which our society might move forward and be manipulated by new technologies I really enjoyed the premise and characters and it was by far the most interesting of all the Original Fiction 4 sFinally I went to the last of the Classic Fiction reads which was Old Paint by Megan Lindholm aka Robin Hobb and I really enjoyed this one too It was a story all about an old car set in a futuristic version of our world The cars have developed sentience of a kind and it s a really quite sweet story to read and imagine Again 3. Clarkesworld Magazine, Issue 112, January 2016running 5 sFinally the non fiction by Ken Liu which spoke about the advancement of AI and how AI is being developed to a point where it can craft stories or help humans to make better stories was really fascinating and something that I hadn t heard of or read before so that one was a 3. Book clarkesworld magazine issue 112 january 2016 cover There was also an artist interview which was nice to read through and a list of some of the best fiction of 2015 which I will be trying to track down and read some of as many of the names were familiar to me and I know they craft great stories. Clarkesworld magazine issue 112 january 2016 science fiction series On the whole for my first Clarkesworld issue I wasn t disappointed and though not everything worked entirely for me I did feel that the longer stories and non fiction were all good in their own ways 3 s overall and I look forward to next months one Science Fiction Fantasy

Lovely story about AI and growing up Science Fiction Fantasy For my first go round with Clarkesworld magazine I thought that I came out the other side no worse for wear Of all the stories Old Paint was definitely my favorite A light science fiction story about what happens to old cars in the world of future vehicles and written by Megan Lindholm aka Robin Hobb no less this story did such a wonderful job personifying the car that I found myself in tears by the end Not many but still there were tears I really didn t care for the other re print which was a commentary on art and forgery and value but got lost in the lack of quick world building that I feel helps stories like this one so so much in short format In terms of the newly published fiction I think my two favorites were Algorithms of Value which looked at AI intelligence contribution and how we truly define when or whether a life has value and Everybody Loves Charles the story of a lonely Korean boy who spends his day live casting into the mind and consciousness of another person Charles who just happens to be a famous spaceship racer This entire universe is one in which the lifestyle vlogging of today s YouTube has blended with VR technology to the point where not only can you watch your favorite celebrities you can actually nerologically experience their life The story was sad on the one hand but also largely empowering and a really really sharp commentary on today s celebrity culture And as per usual the non fiction articles that Clarkesworld included were short little think piece bits this time about AI and the developments of AI and VR technology After this my first ever Clarkesworld experience and I m really really happy with my subscription Science Fiction Fantasy 15 oct n engleza online aici Old Paint dec restulFICTION The Algorithms of Value by Robert Reed kind of boring The Abduction of Europa by E Catherine Tobler some drama and no real discovery Extraction Request by Rich Larson this one seemed to have some structure and direction Everybody Loves Charles by Bao Shu translated by Ken Liu a good depiction of how humans can Be enslaved by their own will The True Vintage of Erzuine Thale by Robert Silverberg IT was funny Old Paint by Megan Lindholm the only one I actually likedNON FICTION Our Future is Artificial by Sofia Siren ok ish Painterly Cyborgs and Distant Horizons A Conversation with Julie Dillon by Chris Urie can t remember If I read it completelyremenbered It s an artist interview It was cool Another Word Let s Write a Story Together MacBook by Ken Liu same as above Editor s Desk The 2015 Reader s Poll and Contest by Neil Clarke Science Fiction Fantasy I read the French translation Vieux Tacot two years ago as it appeared in Trolls et L gendes L Anthologie Officielle the anthology of the Belgian bi annual festival Trolls et L gendes Trolls and Legends I ll just copy paste my review in Dutch from that page below In short It was my first Lindholm story and I really liked it SF or Fantasy she delivers the goods It s about a possible future in the year 2030 Self driving cars are a commodity but the car in this story has been tweaked to do than regular self driving cars However as with other computers these cars are also subject to viruses And so one thing leads to another The context reminded me of the books of Nicholas Carr. Kindle clarkesworld magazine issue 112 january 2016 cover In any case it s a free online story as many out there Go to Clarkesworld Magazine s page to read it Dit mag dan wel als laatste geplaatst zijn en niet als Robin Hobb geschreven maar ook als Megan Lindholm slaagt ze er perfect in een fantastisch verhaaltje neer te pennen Het is geen Fantasy eerder SF Het speelt zich af in de VS uiteraard in het jaar 2030 Auto s zijn zelfrijdend en functionerend de bestuurder kan nog zelf handelingen verrichten maar da s op zich facultatief Het hoofdpersonage een moeder met zoon en dochter geen spoor van de vader te druk erven van de grootvader o. Book clarkesworld magazine issue 112 january 2016 archive a een moderne auto die echter door grootvader zo geprogrammeerd werd dat ie meer functies heeft dan het huidige doorsnee model Wat gehack en gecrack allemaal niet mogelijk maakt En gezien computers de drijvende kracht zijn zijn de auto s ook onderhevig aan virussen iets waarmee men wellicht vandaag de dag nog geen rekening heeft gehouden Het opzet doet wel denken aan de boeken van Nicholas Carr die ook met een kritische blik de ontwikkelingen over technologie en de impact op de mens volgt. Clarkesworld magazine issue 112 january 2016mag Door dat virus ook al heeft zoontje Ben wat grove deugnieterij met nano verf uitgestoken breekt er chaos uit Het verkeer kan niet meer geregeld worden de auto s hebben een eigen willetje zoals ergens naartoe rijden wat niet geprogrammeerd is of wat lang geleden wel geprogrammeerd was maar blijkbaar toch niet verwijderd uit het geheugen. Book Clarkesworld Magazine, Issue 112, January 2016 Vooral Het hoofdpersonage vanuit wiens standpunt alles verteld wordt het dochtertje wordt plots aangevallen door een auto waarbij haar moeders auto dan ter hulp snelt en haar in gehavende toestand zowel zij als de wagen linea recta naar het ziekenhuis brengt Auto s worden voorgesteld als levende wezens want de apparatuur is zo ontwikkeld dat het tegen je praat vergelijkbaar met Knight Rider en KIT Maar goed de auto van het gezinnetje in kwestie bevindt zich plots in de besneeuwde bergen maar moeder en kinderen slagen erin de auto terug aan de praat te krijgen en weg te zenden naar warmere oorden wellicht ook om verdere politie inmenging te vermijden. Book clarkesworld magazine issue 112 january 2016 archive Fantasy of SF Lindholm weet haar weg te vinden en een pakkend verhaal te schrijven Tegelijkertijd zit er ook de boodschap in zo heb ik het toch ondervonden dat men zijn lot best niet volledig toevertrouwt aan technologie hoe gemakkelijk dit het leven ook kan maken Een mens is een mens geen robot Familiale relaties menselijkheid e. Clarkesworld magazine issue 112 january 2016 book summary d moeten gevrijwaard blijven Alsook de capaciteit om iets aan te leren zodat je niet steeds je smartphone of internet moet raadplegen Science Fiction Fantasy I found The Algorithms of Value to be a highly disturbing story which I m not sure if it was meant to be I didn t think the characters were special or unique rather I thought the two men were sociopaths and the protagonist a provable co dependant Also I m not clear on how the society or the algorythms worked or which was the place of sentient AI in it Were they the ones doing all the work I mean someone must be assembling those rooms providing the nutrients and energy doing repair work etc 2. Clarkesworld Magazine, Issue 112, January 2016 pdf reader 5 stars The Abduction of Europa was an interesting and atmospheric tale of a rescue mission on the Jupiter s moon from three different POV Some things were unclear in particular with repect to time and the lost station It makes me wonder if sometimes writers are needlessly complicating things trying to make them deeper and arty and only to the detriment of the story 3:Book Clarkesworld Magazine, Issue 112, January 2016 ford
