Det finns en hedersgästsintervju kvar: Vi ser fram emot samtal nummer fyra, med Cory Doctorow.
1) If you were to give away a Steampunk-book for Christmas, which one would it be?
Cory: The Difference Engine.
2) What do you find most fascinating about Steampunk?
Cory: Here’s an essay I wrote about that: Love the machine, hate the factory
3) Is there an author (dead or alive) you really would like to meet, and if so, why?
Cory: Not really! I’ve met most of the ones I want to meet, and meeting dead
people is creepy.
4) What is the role of Science Fiction / Fantasy in a world that considers Edward Snowden to be a traitor?
Cory: I answer this in the next question.
5) Ursula LeGuin said that Science Fiction /Fantasy is not about the future but about the present. Does something similar apply to Steampunk, too?
Cory: Here’s an essay I wrote about that:
A vocabulary for speaking about the future.
6) Finish following sentence: ”Steampunk taking place in space…”
Cory: ”…if you have very loose definitions of ‘space,’ ‘steampunk’ and ‘taking place.’”
