Frederik Pol, 1919-2013

Post by lord warrior »

Juce, 2. septembra, preminuo je jedan od velikana SF-a.

Poznat po najcesce satiricnim novelama (od kojih je dosta pisao zajedno sa Kornblutom), svom kriticizmu naucne fantastike, urednistvu i svom neobicnom blogu koji je uredjivao maltene do smrti.

Proslavio se romanom Reklamokratija, koji govori o distopijskoj buducnosti u kome je reklama sve. Distopija na kojoj bi mu Filip Dik i Vilijam Gibson pozavideli.

Malo materijala za razmisljanje, Polovo vidjenje buducnosti:
You can’t really predict the future. All you can do is invent it. You can do things that may have an effect on what the future will be, but you can’t say which is going to happen unless you know who’s inventing things and who’s making things happen. We would not have landed a man on the moon in 1969 if John Kennedy hadn’t decided to do it. It’s because he invented that event that it took place. It probably would’ve happened sooner or later under some other circumstances, but that’s why it happened. Same with atomic energy. So you can see how future events take place but what you can’t do is know who’s going to do something that will change it. You can’t really say what’s going to happen, but you can show a spectrum of possibilities.
Pocivaj u miru!
