A Rant About “Technology” In an interesting and favorable notice of Changing Planes (which you can find elsewhere on the site, in Spanish and English), the Argentinean reviewer asserts that since Le Guin isn’t a hard science fiction writer, “technology is carefully avoided.” I stuck a footnote onto this in my translation of the article, and here is the footnote expanded — because this business is really getting my goat. ‘Hard’ SF is all about technology, and ‘soft’ SF doesn’t have any technology, right? And my books don’t have technology in them, because I am only interested in psychology and emotions and squashy stuff like that, right? Not right.

The folks over at the Ursula K. Le Guin Foundation are awesome. They made a new website and as a result, some content was removed. I sent an email to see if they could restore Le Guin’s “A Rant About ‘Technology’” — and they did!

Todavía no entiendo cómo pueden pensar que la clara y evidente exacerbación del fascismo puede ser y será contenida en poco tiempo. No pasó así nunca en la historia del ascenso del fascismo, justamente la complicidad y violencia civil son parte de sus características.
