Making (2500, #2) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the (earth-measured) 26th century, humans have colonised Duopus, which circles Vega. In the city of Gambol, water, food, shelter and other necessities are provided by automated processes, leaving people to play and create. As a result, novelty and innovation are highly prized. Education is mostly in the creative arts and people vie to be more original than each other. Jure, however, is different. E wants to catalogue the creations, to curate, to compare and share. E is less interested in the own creations. Can Jure win the respect of the brood guides, and the brood, for the unfamiliar making?

Making is the second story in the 2500 series.

Autorenporträt

Judy Backhouse writes optimistic future fiction to explore better futures for humankind and planet Earth.

Before we can bring about better futures, we must imagine them so that they enter the domain of possibility. Stories are a way to expand our minds and adjust the possibility horizon.

Judy retired in 2023 from a long career which included work as a mathematician, an information systems architect, a senior manager in the corporate world, advisor to the South African Minister of Higher Education, Head of the School of Economics and Business Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa and a researcher at the United Nations University investigating how technologies can improve governance.

Having earnestly pursued truth and explored the limits of evidence, she now (in the words of the immortal Le Guin) makes stuff up.
