Posté : mar. avr. 24, 2007 7:12 am
Locus vient de mettre en ligne des extraits de l'interview de Kim Stanley Robinson.
Il dit notamment
"J'ai toujours cru que la science fiction était la meilleur façon d'exprimer la vie moderne américaine, parce que tout change trop vite que nous sommes dans une "gigantic techno-surround" à laquelle nous ne pouvons pas échappé. Et puis nous vivons dans un roman de science fiction et c'est notre histoire actuelle. "
Il parle également du roman The Galileans :
“I've sold a book about the birth of science called The Galileans. It will have a science fiction element, but a strongly historical narrative as well. I researched the subject when I was writing The Years of Rice and Salt, which includes an alternative scientific revolution. Having done that, I thought, 'Well, what actually happened is fascinating.' So this new book is constellated about the figure of Galileo. Because he was famously put on trial by the Pope, he's still a good way to discuss the relationship between science and religion, and how those two can be reconciled (or not). I enjoyed the historical writing I did for The Years of Rice and Salt, so I'm going back into that mode.”
