MIND MELD: The Best Genre-Related Books/Films/Shows Consumed in 2009 (Part 2)

"Best of the Year" lists start appearing as early as November, so we are perhaps a little late in asking folks around the community: Q: What were the best genre-related books, movies and/or shows you consumed in 2009? [Also added was this note: They don't have to have been released in 2009. Feel free to choose any combination of genres (science fiction/fantasy/horror) and media (books/movies/shows)...

Unless you're a glutton for [insert something about silly online debates], I recommend skipping all the links in the second paragraph.

If you're interested in contemporary science fiction, I've reviewed what Kim Stanley Robinson and I agree is the best novel of 2009 period here . I can't recommend it highly enough. If, on the other hand, you're interested in watching Jeff Goldstein self-implode at the mention of my name ( again !), I direct your attention here —sorry, that link goes to his latest (and most specatularly desperate)...

Adam Robert's Yellow Blue Tibia

Let me begin by agreeing with Kim Stanley Robinson: [T]his year the [Booker] prize should probably go to a science fiction comedy called Yellow Blue Tibia, by Adam Roberts. I say this not because Adam's a personal friend (although he is), and not because I've edited some of his other novels (although I have), but because it actually is the most intriguing novel I've read this year. Admittedly, I can't...

Moon water

I've been reading Kim Stanley Robinson's unbelievable Mars trilogy lately--alongside Fredric Jameson's amazing Archaeologies of the Future--and this nicely happened to coincide with NASA's mission to crash Lcross into the moon in search for water. It's coincidental because the presence of water opens up an issue of colonization that lies behind the entire project in the Mars books specifically

I am a science fiction fan who is a big fan of the original Trek series (but not to the extent that I ever owned a costume or even attended a Trek convention, or even, past a...

The Best Science Fiction of the Decade

This is the fifth time I’ve picked my favorite books of the preceding decade, and I cannot help but wonder how many more chances I will have to do so in the future? Twice more? Three times perhaps? Scary thoughts. Before I begin, here is a brief review of my selections from past decades: The 1960s: Best Novel : Lord of Light / Roger Zelazny Best Short Fiction : The Star Pit / Samuel R.

McCarthy on The Road

There's a fascinating interview with the normally reclusive Cormac McCarthy up at the Wall Street Journal , in which he talks among other things about how he feels about the filming of his novels and how conversations with his 11-year old son, John found their way into The Road . (BTW, if you are thinking that it would be nice to have an autographed copy of the book, the only ones in existence belong...

Because novels have more entropy

The latest issue of Science Fiction Studies , a special issue titled "Science Fiction and Sexuality," arrived in mailbox this week. I expect I'll be posting on the issue itself soon, but in the meantime, I thought the many contributors of The WisCon Chronicles, Vol. 2: Provocative Essays on Feminism, Race, Revolution, and the Future would like to know that the issue includes a lengthy, strongly...
