Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1198 (SoD 1901)- Contestable Futures - Cory Doctorow & Imaginary Worlds podcast


Hi Mom, next up in posts on subject you never cared about is a plug for the Imaginary Worlds podcast, specifically an episode with Cory Doctorow and Ada Palmer among others. I just started Docotorow's book Radicalized today, so this post fits for that reason, too.

Short post today because I did a massive post yesterday for Sense of Doubt #1900, and I will have to acknowledge a similar milestone, HEY MOM #1200, soon with you, too.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #1900 - Another milestone 1900 posts and blog recap

So this is just a quickie.

I’m in the latest episode of Imaginary Worlds, “Imagining the Internet” (MP3), talking about the future as a contestable place that we can’t predict, but that we can influence.

We were promised flying cars and we got Twitter instead. That’s the common complaint against sci-fi authors. But some writers did imagine the telecommunications that changed our world for better or worse. Cory Doctorow, Ada Palmer, Jo Walton and Arizona State University professor Ed Finn look at the cyberpunks and their predecessors. And artist Paul St George talks about why he’s fascinated by a Skype-like machine from the Victorian era.

Reflect and connect.

Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you.

I miss you so very much, Mom.

Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

NOTE on time: When I post late, I had been posting at 7:10 a.m. because Google is on Pacific Time, and so this is really 10:10 EDT. However, it still shows up on the blog in Pacific time. So, I am going to start posting at 10:10 a.m. Pacific time, intending this to be 10:10 Eastern time. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. But I am not going back and changing all the 7:10 a.m. times. But I will run this note for a while. Mom, you know that I am posting at 10:10 a.m. often because this is the time of your death.
