Alt-Ctrl was published in September 2019 and since then, so much has happened and changed in the world, but thing I wanted most to say with this story is that in times of desperation, when corporations are all-powerful and you think you can't do without them because they control so much of your life, the answer might lie in being brave, and relying on each other. Seems timely, no?
I don't know if I did that successfully, and when it came out, I was so embarrassed to promote this little book because what if people hate it and think it's stupid and think I'M stupid but six years later, such a lot has …

Anyway if you wanted to buy it, you still can:

Por alguna razón, esta página de mi sitio anda muy visitada últimamente. Es un #cuento mío acerca del futuro, cuando el hielo polar se ha derretido y los países más poderosos explotan los recursos del nuevo mar. Se llama "Estrella Polar".

I think it’s always more relatable to see these things more closely, at the city level.

Ale to było dobre.
Post-cyberpunk, który prawie mógłby być solarpunkiem. Są alternatywne systemy ekonomiczne powstałe w LARPach w augmented reality oraz sztuczne inteligencje mówiące w imieniu przyrody. Solarpunkowcom nie spodoba się jednak to, że to wszystko stoi na blockchainie (nie, żeby Schroeder był bezkrytyczny wobec kryptowalut, na tym zresztą zasadza się główny wątek). Dodatkowo, pytanie o koszty środowiskowe wytworzenia takiej liczby czujników, żeby sztuczne inteligencje faktycznie mogły uważać np. las za swoje “ciało”.
Tym niemniej, sama wizja zmian społecznych, które rodzą się dzięki LARPom zdecydowanie ciekawa. Poza tym, spodobała mi się wizja sztucznych inteligencji reprezentujących problemy społeczne, zaprogramowanych by dążyć do samounicestwienia (tylko czy to aby etyczne?).

P.S.#2 Kiedyś chyba polecałem opowiadanie Schroedera “Reputacja”, które było kiedyś w NF, a także inne opowiadanie ze zbioru “Hieroglyph”. Oba dzieją się w tym samym uniwersum, co książka.

The #ClimateFiction Prize celebrates the most inspiring novels tackling the climate crisis.
“The climate crisis asks us to imagine other forms of human existence—a task to which fiction is the best suited of all cultural forms.” -- Amitav Ghosh

Adapting & building community during social collapse. Prophetic for its time, remains unsettling. God as Change could be a genuinely useful belief system. Only half a book, with ending sudden & too convenient (there is a sequel).
