Épisode 14 - A Canticle for Leibowitz - Dystopias and Apocalypses - Extra Sci Fi
12 juin 2019
A Canticle for Leibowitz is a book about cycles and violence--about the cost of progress. But it is also about the persistence of humanity's quest for knowledge and endless resilience. Unlike other post-apocalyptic fiction tropes, it is focused on the lives and goings of everyday people, rather than on the setting itself, and is a critical work to study if you want to understand the post-apocalyptic genre better.

A Clockwork Orange reflects a cultural fear of society's moral decay in the 1960s. Its usage of a mashup slang language known as "nadsat" illustrates the complexities of rebellious youth culture. Ultimately, Anthony Burgess's work asks us to think about if or when free will should ever be suppressed, but the major differences between the book and the film version of this story present contrasting takeaways.

How do we cope with a crowded world we as humans were never evolutionarily designed for? Stand on Zanzibar was written in 1968 but it uncannily, accurately predicts many of our present day's social tensions and stressors.

We talked a little bit about Ray Bradbury on our Fahrenheit 451 episode, but he contributed so much more to the world of literature and science fiction. While he may not be "technically" considered a part of the New Wave sci fi, but he certainly influenced it. His works touch on the fantastical, the psychedelic, and even the theological. So why did Ray Bradbury refuse to consider himself a science fiction writer, even when his stories were filled with space travel and other technological wonders? Let's explore!

Dick is well known in the sci fi genre for his work "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", the story that inspired Bladerunner. He struggled often from mental illness and depression and had a uniquely weird childhood experience that led him to question the very fabric of his reality. A common theme of Philip K. Dick's work is the presence of doppelgangers or copies who can't tell who the original is. And this unraveling of reality or treatment of reality as fluid is a huge influence on the New Wave.

We've talked about Harlan Ellison's I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream before on Extra Sci Fi, but Dangerous Visions is the title that truly kicks off the New Wave. An anthology helmed and edited by Ellison, Dangerous Visions featured short stories written by many sci fi household names like Roger Zelazny & Samuel R. Delany. But most importantly, it introduced human sexuality to sci fi in a way we hadn't seen before. It also questioned the taboo, like addressing religion or death. Not all of the stories are winners, but all of them give you something to think about.

While Zelazny is often left out of sci fi considerations, he has a lot in common with the other writers we've spoken about. He also deals with a topic that we see come up again and again in sci fi: What is the real? Even though The Chronicles of Amber are difficult to categorize, they still stand out, especially as our real & virtual lives continue to mix and mingle.

There's nothing else quite like it in all of science fiction. It pushed the boundaries of what science fiction could do and proved that sci fi could be just as unique (and sometimes confusing) as high art.

The daughter of anthropologists, Le Guin's family frequently had famous academics and scientists over, and they deeply influenced her writing like her first science fiction novel, The Left Hand of Darkness. The Left Hand of Darkness is a story about isolation and exclusion from a very interesting perspective and asks the question, what would a society without gender look like?
