string theory fiction anthology

[mckitterick]

This looks cool:

Scriblerus Press is organizing an anthology of creative writing inspired by string theory. I’d like to remind you that the submission deadline is approaching—May 31, 2007. Complete submission guidelines, along with information on string theory itself, are Editor, Scriblerus Pressavailable online.

The anthology is shaping up well. So far, we’ve received over two hundred quality submissions, including pieces from Nobel Laureate Sheldon Glashow, Peter Woit, Michio Kaku, and renowned sci-fi novelist Adam Roberts. We whole-heartedly encourage you, as well as program faculty and students, to take part. Please feel free to forward this reminder along to them.

Best regards,

I had a chance to hear a talk from Sheldon Glashow, and one of my professors was a student of his. It would be interesting to see what his piece is on string theory, I was pretty sure that he was completely against it.

Interesting! Perhaps he'll be critical....

Adam Roberts, "renowned".

I googled him, and he's a complete cipher. I'm not exactly a person who knows nothing about SF.

Renowned isn't the adjective I'd use for him, that's for sure.

Hey now! Maybe, but I have read his works and think he rocks! He gets nominated for the Campbell most years.

The "sci-fi" term, on the other hand, did make me a little leery.

Um. I have never outlined for you the methodology by which I predicted the Campbell winners year after year.

Hm! You've been right each time? Wow. I would like to hear that some time....

I used the addres of my first house in Lawrence as a starting point.

The judges during the late 1970s and early 1980s were a different group from the current one, and were rather predictable in their tastes.

Back then I could also read *everything*, since I had huge access to books. Reading everything really makes certain trends stand out.
