Äntligen…

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.’”
