New Clarkesworld Magazine issue is up

October 31st 2007 at 11:18 pm

The latest issue of Clarkesworld is up. It features a story by Ken Scholes and Rebecca Ore, an article about about genre perceptions by Jeff VanderMeer, and an interview I did with Sean Williams:

TB: In your SF novels you explore the changing nature of humanity, through evolution and technology. Can you talk a bit about ways you think we’re changing right now?

Sean: There’s been a lot of talk recently about Generation Y’s new take on privacy. New for most people: I’ve always thought the issue handled hysterically by the media and commentators on the Internet (but that’s a whole other topic). That’s a hefty social change creeping up on us that may make a big difference to the way we go about life this century. People’s attitudes to body modification are changing: not just augmented breasts, but enhanced physical performance, life extension, and various reproductive options are all being seriously explored at the moment. This isn’t news, and again the knee-jerk reactions are still strong, but I’m sure that when someone faced with age or just wanting to be fitter in generally is handed the option to improve their lot, why wouldn’t they take it? We’re greedy. We love life, and we’ll take it if we can get it.
