    http://www.telusplanet.net/public/alfvaen/reviews/deus_x.html
    
    Extractions: I haven't read a lot of Norman Spinrad. That last thing I read by him, I believe, was a novella called "World War Last" in Asimov's a few years back, which was an incredibly heavy-handed satire on the Cold War and the U.S.A.'s role in it. I wasn't that impressed with it, but then I've discovered a low tolerance in myself for heavy-handed satire. In the Author's Notes at the back, it includes as accolades: Spinrad's novel about Adolf Hitler, The Iron Dream , was banned in Germany for seven years, and Bug Jack Barron , his controversial novel about presidential politics and the power of television, was denounced on the floor of the British Parliament. So, after that, Deus X was a pleasant surprise. It's not heavy- handed at all. It deals sensitively with the spiritual issue: does an electronic replica of a personality(called a "successor entity")have a soul? The Catholic Church of the time is very concerned with this question, because its current anti-successor-entity position is losing it worshippers in droves; the ecology is going to hell, and some people would rather live in computer simulation than in the real world. They are desirable of finding out for sure. Father Pierre De Leone is dying. He is of the near-unshakeable opinion that successor entities do

    http://www.fictionwise.com/ebooks/eBook8319.htm
    
    Extractions: Description: Why was He Walked Among Us , described as "the Magnum Opus of one of the best-known science fiction writers of the age," first published in German rather than English? Why is its first English language edition electronic? What do conventional American publishers find so dangerous about this novel? Is it a science fiction novel or a comic novel about show business? Is Ralf, the comedian from the future, just doing schtick, or is he what he claims to be, an emissary sent back from a terminal future to save the human race from its own stupidity through laughter? Or could he even be something more? Maybe much more? In fact, He Walked Among Us is also a metaphysical novel about mind and time and space, and, given enough of all three, surely there will be more things therein than are dreamt of in our philosophies. Or not. For

    Extractions: Norman Spinrad's March 2003 On Books column in Asimov's SF is now available on-line. Ventus is only one of the novels and issues he talks about in this column, but his review is detailed and highly favorable. I'm including the link here in a fit of shameless propagandizing; and why not? This is without doubt the best review my work has ever gotten. In related news, the December 2002 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact includes a good review of Permanence by Tom Easton. In other PR news, I've been interviewed recently by Canada's Space, the Imagination Station , the national SF cable channel; and by Locus magazine and Crystalline Sphere . All these interviews are forthcoming, though I may in fact be on TV alreadyI haven't been compulsively watching to find out.

    http://www.kschroeder.com/1011481301/index_html
    
    Extractions: There is much more to Spinrad's column than a discussion of Ventus ; he uses reviews as a platform from which to survey the entire SF writing field. Largely, what he finds in the field is not goodwhich is why it's gratifying that he says that "Ventus is a major work of science fiction by someone who therein clearly reveals the potential to evolve into a major writer." What he emphasizes, however, is that the novel is "sophisticated space opera for adults." I.e., Ventus does not condescend to its audience, as he believes most SF does these days. I find this opinion interesting, because Ventus came out of a long struggle by myself to become published and acknowledged as an SF writer. In fact, I had written several novels and failed to get them published, prior to Ventus . My first sale was a collaboration

70. Albedo One Opinion - An Open Letter By Norman Spinrad
    An Open Letter by norman spinrad. July 16, 1997. The name of norman spinradhas completely disappeared from the racks in Anglophone countries.  
    http://homepage.tinet.ie/~albedo1/bashing-spinrad-july97.html
    
    Extractions: July 16, 1997 Yes, this is a an open electronic letter to friends, colleagues, possibly even enemies. Yes, it is an act of desperation. Yes, it is an act of anger. Yes, I know I risk making a fool of myself. But I feel I've been left no choice. My career as a novelist is not merely in jeopardy, unless I do something drastic, and perhaps even if I do, after more than thirty years, it is over. At least under my own name. I've been told that I'm "burned out in science fiction." I've been told that my name is anathema with the chains. I won't bore you here with the details. You can read them all and much more on my Web page at: http:// ourworld.compuserve.com/ homepages/ normanspinrad. Five virtually simultaneous events and an ongoing situation have prompted me to presume to write this open letter. Both of which books are out of print in the language in which they were written. As are PICTURES AT 11 and THE VOID CAPTAIN'S TALE, both of which are currently under film option. As is JOURNALS OF THE PLAGUE YEARS, successfully produced in three different cities in Belgium as a theater piece. As is BUG JACK BARRON, named in one of those list books as one of the top 100 science fiction novels ever written.

    Extractions: Yes, the numbers on PICTURES AT 11 were bad, and yes that's my problem. But PICTURES AT 11 wasn't even published as science fiction, and it's not so much that I'm dead in science fiction, or that science fiction is dead as a genre (though it's certainly on life-support)as that ALL so-called "mid-list" writers of whatever form of fiction (and non-fiction too)are in deep dark shit.

    Extractions: On Books: Movements by Norman Spinrad In the process of writing a piece for the Bulletin of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (of which as I write this I am currently president) it suddenly struck me that "SF" (meaning in this context both science fiction and fantasy) has not really experienced a true literary movement since the advent of Cyberpunk in the 1980s. What, you may well ask, do I mean by a literary movement, and do we, you may well demand, really need one? Well, I would make a distinction between marketing attempts to create phony literary movements, of which we have many and which we can well do without, and genuine literary movements, which, it seems to me, if perhaps not essential to a mode like speculative fiction, have certainly proven to be watersheds that have evolved the literature upward and onward from time to time. By a genuine literary movement, I mean a group of writers, however large or small, sometimes including one or more editors, sometimes not, who collectively seek a transformation in a literary mode, sometimes conscious of their collective enterprise from the beginning, sometimes awakening to the realization that that is what they are doing in the middle of the process, or perhaps even after it is over.

    Extractions: The Secret of Liveliness The Andromeda Strain (1969), the type of novel that’s come to be known as the "techno-thriller" has assumed the status of science fiction’s sexier younger sister, stealing much of the public spotlight away from SF. Set in near-future venues often no further away than the day after tomorrow, these novels have appropriated all our trademark glitz of technology and hardware, added bracing doses of realpolitik and suspense, then arrayed themselves in streamlined, whiz-bang plots, however improbable. Casting off our genre’s constraints of rigorous speculation, techno-thrillers can be outrageously seductive to the broad masses of readers in a way that hardcore SF, with its more "serious"–and, face it, sometimes stodgy–concerns cannot. But any organism that survives must eventually adapt, and of late several writers from within our field seem to be embracing the best traits of the techno-thriller crowd while avoiding their illogical, anti-science excesses. We can cite Greg Bear and Nancy Kress as trailblazers. Even as determinedly hardcore an SF writer as Bruce Sterling utilizes the odd techno-thriller conceit in such works as

    Extractions: classico , ideale conclusione di una trilogia iniziata col mitico "Jack Barron e l’eternità" (1) e proseguito, sempre idealmente, col relativamente recente "Ore 11: sequestro in diretta" (2), è un romanzo a morale dire cose in una maniera tale che te le fa rimanere impresse, ben stampigliate nella mente. E, qui, gioca entrambe queste sue carte, costruendo, cioè, una trama accattivante, ma che vuole dire, appena più in profondo, la nostra stupidità ad affannarci dietro alle meschinità delle nostre preoccupazioni quotidiane quando è in ballo niente di meno che il destino dell’ "astronave Terra", come alcuni, molto bene, hanno detto il nostro pianeta; un’astronave che rischia di andare a fuoco.

    Extractions: Ecco, questo, splendido, romanzo di Spinrad, è incentrato sul sesso: "…il modulo nucleo assomigliava effettivamente a un gigantesco spermatozoo argentato: lo yang, il maschio, il principio propulsivo, eiaculato dal fallo elettronico del Flinger per fertilizzare le stelle con geni umani."

    Extractions: Die Transformation Infos Für He Walked among Us konnte Norman Spinrad zuerst keinen englischen Verleger finden, so dass die deutsche Übersetzung die Weltpremiere dieses Romans darstellte. Später erschien es dann immerhin noch als englisches eBook. Inhalt Das Opus Magnum eines der bedeutendsten SF-Autoren der Gegenwart. Im Westen der Vereinigten Staaten taucht eines Tages ein Mann auf, der von sich behauptet, aus der Zukunft zu kommen. In zornigen Tiraden wirft er den Menschen vor, mit ihrer Gleichgültigkeit und Dummheit die Erde zu vernichten, und beschwört die Möglichkeit einer alles entscheidenden Transformation. Was steckt dahinter? Ist er ein durchgeknallter Sektierer, ein zynischer Komiker - oder wirklich ein neuer Messias, der uns alle retten wird? Hochgradig spannend, eminent politisch und furios erzählt - Norman Spinrad schreibt Science Fiction am Nerv der Zeit. (Los Angeles Times) Norman Spinrad zählt seit den 70er Jahren zu den profiliertesten amerikanischen Science-Fiction-Autoren. Vor allem mit seinen satirischen Romanen Champion Jack Barron und Der stählerne Traum erregte er großes Aufsehen.
