ISBN10: 1889307238, ISBN13: 9781889307237, [publisher: Re/Search Pubn/monochrom, San Francisco] Softcover First Edition Taking up where the successful first part of our series left off, this anthology stands under the motto "future" -- and the ways in which the present sees itself reflected in it. Maintaining a broadened perspective on technical development and technology while also putting special emphasis on its social implementation, this year's conference focuses on Science and Social Fiction. The genre of the "fantastic" is especially well suited to the investigation of the touchy area of sexuality and pornography: actual and assumed developments are frequently depicted positively and approvingly, but just as often with dystopian admonishment. Here the classic, and continuingly valid, themes of modernism represent a clear link between the two aspects: questions of science, research and technologization are of interest, as is the complex surrounding urbanism, artificiality and control (or the loss of control). Depictions of the future, irregardless of the form they take, always address the present as well. Imaginations of the fantastic and the nightmarish give rise to a thematic overlapping of the exotic, the alienating and, of course, the pornographic/sexual as well. Featuring essays and stories by Rudy Rucker, Richard Kadrey, James Tiptree, Jr., Allen Stein, Sharing is Sexy, Jason Brown, Cory Doctorow, Annalee Newitz, Tina Lorenz, ...

Provocative andpenetrating, Do Androids Sleep with Electric Sheep? reveals a wealth ofdepictions of the future and shows the many ways in which they also address thepresent. As the official artists' collectiverepresenting Vienna at the Sao Paulo Art Biennial in 2002, the monochrom group-- Johannes Grenzfurthner, Guenther Friesinger, and Daniel Fabry -- invented anartist called Georg Paul Thomann and carried off the exhibition as a veryelaborate prank. The trio, aided by philosopher Thomas Ballhausen, brings thatsame sense of the cutting-edge and the carnivalesque to this collectionexploring erotica, science fiction, and technology. A bracing mix of literaryforms, the book shows why the fantasy genre is especially suited to theinvestigation of the transgressive realms of sexuality and pornography.
