Rudy Rucker weighs in on Mundane SF

from Rudy’s Blog

On Mundane SF

I don’t think SF is necessarily about predicting possible futures. I’ve always felt that SF is more like surrealism. The idea is to shock people into awareness. Show them how odd the world is. Whether or not you draw on realistic tropes is irrelevant.

Let it be said that futurism and SF are quite different endeavors. A rude person might say that futurism is about feeding inspirational received truths to businessmen and telling them it will help them make more money. SF is about unruly artistic visions.

  9. Just right points?I would word that as anyone who actually doesn’t write on blogs so much (in reality, this may be my first put up), I don’t suppose the term ‘lurker’ may be very turning into to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault the least bit , but perhaps the blogosphere may come up with a greater, non-creepy title for the ninety% folks that experience reading the content .
