Sisyphean
A strange journey into the far future of genetic engineering, and working life. After centuries of tinkering, many human bodies only have a casual similarity to what we now know, but both work and school continue apace. Will the enigmatic sad sack known only as “the worker” survive the day? Will the young student Hanishibe get his questions about the biological future of humanity answered, or will he have to transfer to the department of theology? Will Umari and her master ever comprehend the secrets of nanodust? -- VIZ Media

This very first issue is a collection of stories about “shipping” that explores delivery work, the human relationship, and migration to other worlds.

Contemporary American Fiction in the Embrace of the Digital Age
This collection aims to examine the relationship between American fiction and innovations that marked the first decades of the 21st century: the Internet, social media, smart objects and environments, artificial intelligence, nanotechnologies, genetic engineering and other biotechnologies, transhumanism. These technological innovations redefine the way we live in and imagine our world, interact with each other and understand the human being in his or her ever closer relationship to the machine a human being no longer, as in the past, cared for or repaired, but now enhanced or replaced. What about our artistic and cultural practices? Are these recent advances changing language and literature?...
Biofictions
Biofictions introduces three novel concepts: ‘biofiction,’ ‘bioimagination,’ and ‘biodiscourse’ to talk about intersections of literary and visual texts and biotechnology. The book proposes a new interdisciplinary area of research that correlates processes of genetics and literature, based on two critical approaches. One, drawing parallels between the genetic codes, human language, formal (binary) language, and posthuman communication and the role of meaning and imagination in these forms of communication. Two, by defining ‘biofictions’ as a critical scientific-artistic concept and as a corpus of texts that engage ideas and developments in molecular biology. Syncretic connect...
Out of This World
The twenty-first century has witnessed an explosion of speculative fiction in translation (SFT). Rachel Cordasco examines speculative fiction published in English translation since 1960, ranging from Soviet-era fiction to the Arabic-language dystopias that emerged following the Iraq War. Individual chapters on SFT from Korean, Czech, Finnish, and eleven other source languages feature an introduction by an expert in the language's speculative fiction tradition and its present-day output. Cordasco then breaks down each chapter by subgenre--including science fiction, fantasy, and horror--to guide readers toward the kinds of works that most interest them. Her discussion of available SFT stands alongside an analysis of how various subgenres emerged and developed in a given language. She also examines the reasons a given subgenre has been translated into English. An informative and one-of-a-kind guide, Out of This World offers readers and scholars alike a tour of speculative fiction's new globalized era.
Sisyphéen
L’ingénierie génétique a rendu les humains méconnaissables, mais dans ce monde futur, une journée de travail évoque toujours le supplice de Sisyphe. Dempow Torishima s’est inspiré de la souffrance au travail contemporaine pour imaginer les quatre mondes décrits dans Sisyphéen. Quatre novellas s’enchaînent ainsi pour constituer un roman mosaïque. Le lien est une mystérieuse menace qui perturbe une civilisation spatiale : les nano-poussières. À travers cet ovni qui est une véritable prouesse littéraire, Torishima propose une réflexion sur la notion même d’humanité. Né en 1970 à Osaka, Dempow Torishima est romancier et illustrateur. Repéré par la critique dès la publication de son premier texte en 2011, il s’est gagné en quelques années la réputation d’un auteur audacieux, inimitable et doté d’une imagination d’une fertilité inouïe.
