They call it Black Mind. Using this covert technology, Reno has written his own consciousness over that of Albrecht Roon, one of Earth’s greatest enemies. A saboteur surrounded by enemies, he must act quickly, and without giving himself away, in order to turn the Orbital oppressors against each other and bring down their entire system. He’s living in a labyrinth of paranoia, surrounded by bodyguards and treacherous rivals. And then he discovers that Black Mind is not a complete success--- Roon still lives inside him, and Roon is mad. This novella is the long-awaited sequel to Walter Jon Williams’ classic novel Hardwired.

Fantascienza - romanzo breve (56 pagine) - Chiuso nel corpo del suo peggiore nemico per salvare il futuro della Terra. Dopo il successo di Hardwired (I guerrieri dell’interfaccia, 1986) Walter Jon Williams ritornò qualche anno dopo, spinto dai lettori e dal suo agente, alla storia messa in risalto in un romanzo considerato tra i capolavori del cyberpunk. Dice l’autore a questo proposito: “L'idea iniziale di Hardwired non era esattamente sconosciuta nella fantascienza, cioè che le colonie spaziali della Terra avessero messo in atto una rivoluzione per ottenere l'indipendenza dal pianeta natale. Ma, a differenza di altri libri che utilizzavano questa idea, le colonie di Hardwired non cercavano la mera indipendenza politica: una volta distrutte le difese della Terra, trovarono la visione di un pianeta indifeso troppo allettante per resistere. Dominavano il loro pianeta natale ed erano unite dal desiderio di sfruttare le risorse rimanenti della Terra per migliorare le proprie economie. Alla fine di Hardwired la mente di Reno, uno dei protagonisti, era stata trapiantata nel cervello del boss dell'Orbitale, Roon, tramite il programma Black Mind. Con una riflessione attenta sulle lacune nella mia cronologia futura, ho deciso di scrivere una storia su Reno.” Solip System racconta dunque la drammatica vicenda di Reno all’interno della mente del suo più grande nemico, il mostro Albrecht Roon, responsabile di atroci crimini nei confronti dei terrestri. Con grande astuzia e coraggio dovrà portare a termine un’incredibile opera di sabotaggio, che lo vedrà affrontare difficoltà di ogni genere, tra cui lo stesso Roon, ancora vivo e folle all’interno del suo stesso cervello. Apparso come chapbook per la casa editrice amatoriale Axolotl Press nel 1989, e poi, nel settembre del 1990, sulla prestigiosa Asimov’s Science fiction Magazine, Solip:System rappresenta una sorta di seguito a I guerrieri dell’interfaccia. Con questo romanzo breve, inedito finora nel nostro paese, continuiamo a presentare il meglio di un autore tra i più vivaci e validi della fantascienza moderna. Ricordiamo inoltre che in questa stessa collana abbiamo presentato opere come Emersione, Elegia per angeli e cani, Il giorno dell’incarnazione, La Piramide Sommersa della Dinastia Tang, e Argonautica. Nato nel 1953 a Duluth nel Minnesota, Walter Jon Williams si è laureato in letteratura inglese all'università del Nuovo Messico, dove attualmente vive e lavora. Autore di una ventina di romanzi, tra cui ricordiamo Hardwired (1986), La voce del vortice (1987), Stazione Angelica (1989), Aristoi (1992), Metropolitan (1995), di sceneggiature cinematografiche e televisive e di numerosi racconti, ha vinto due volte il premio Nebula, la prima nel 2001 con il racconto Daddy's world e, successivamente, nel 2004, con L'era del flagello (The Green Leopard Plague), pubblicato in Italia nella collana Odissea Delos. Autore eclettico e dotato, Walter Jon Williams ha attraversato varie fasi nella sua carriera. Dopo un inizio influenzato da Roger Zelazny, è poi diventato uno degli esponenti di spicco del cyberpunk degli inizi degli anni novanta con il gradevole I guerrieri dell'interfaccia (Hardwired), per poi raggiungere la piena maturità con opere come La voce del vortice, Stazione Angelica, Aristoi.

Tom Easton has served as the monthly book review columnist for Analog Science Fiction for almost three decades, having contributed during that span many hundreds of columns and over a million words of penetrating criticism on the best literature that science fiction has to offer. His reviews have been celebrated for their wit, humor, readability, knowledge, and incisiveness. His love of literature, particularly fantastic literature, is everywhere evident in his essays. Easton has ever been willing to cover small presses, obscure authors, and unusual publications, being the only major critic in the field to do so on a regular basis. He seems to delight in finding the rare gem among the backwaters of the publishing field. "A reviewer's job," he says, "is not to judge books for the ages, but to tell readers enough about a book to give them some idea of whether they would enjoy it." And this he does admirably, whether he's discussing the works of the great writers in the field, or touching upon the least amongst them. This companion volume to "Periodic Stars" (Borgo/Wildside) collects another 250 of Easton's best reviews from the last fifteen years of "The Reference Library." No one does it better, and no other guide provides such lengthy or discerning commentary on the best SF works of recent times. Complete with Introduction and detailed Index.

These companion volumes bring together research and theoretical work that addresses the relations between social context and the development of children. They allow for the in-depth discussion of a number of vital metatheoretical, theoretical, and methodological issues that have emerged as a result of increased investigation in these areas. For example: Which methodological and statistical procedures are appropriate and applicable to studies of social context and processes of development? Should the nature of social context be reconceptualized as something more than different levels of some social independent variable? Are theories of development that do not consider social context incomplete? Will the increasingly finer definitions of social context lead to extreme situationism and contextualism? As developmental theory and investigation continues to address relationships between social and cognitive development, it becomes increasingly important that issues concerning social context be elaborated and discussed.

What would it take to hack a human? How exploitable are we? In the cybersecurity industry, professionals know that the weakest component of any system sits between the chair and the keyboard. This book looks to speculative fiction, cyberpunk and the digital humanities to bring a human - and humanistic - perspective to the issue of cybersecurity. It argues that through these stories we are able to predict the future political, cultural, and social realities emerging from technological change. Making the case for a security-minded humanities education, this book examines pressing issues of data security, privacy, social engineering and more, illustrating how the humanities offer the critical, technical, and ethical insights needed to oppose the normalization of surveillance, disinformation, and coercion. Within this counter-cultural approach to technology, this book offers a model of activism to intervene and meaningfully resist government and corporate oversight online. In doing so, it argues for a wider notion of literacy, which includes the ability to write and fight the computer code that shapes our lives.

Nebula Award-winning author Walter Jon Williams returns to the sweeping space opera adventure of his Praxis universe with Impersonations, an exciting new novel featuring the hero of Dread Empire's Fall! Having offended her superiors by winning a battle without permission, Caroline Sula has been posted to the planet Earth, a dismal backwater where careers go to die. But Sula has always been fascinated by Earth history, and she plans to reward herself with a long, happy vacation amid the ancient monuments of humanity's home world. Sula may be an Earth history buff, but there are aspects of her own history she doesn't want known. Exposure is threatened when an old acquaintance turns up unexpectedly. Someone seems to be forging evidence that would send her to prison. And all that is before someone tries to kill her. If she's going to survive, Sula has no choice but to make some history of her own. Reviews: "Well told with story plot, well-drawn characters, and excellent wordsmithing...It feels like Williams is having a great time with Impersonations." — Locus "Readers will savor this intriguing glimpse into the life of a woman who struggles with her own identity and the price of her action." — Publishers Weekly At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
