Yevgeny Zamyatin was a philosopher, author and dissident in a time and place that tolerated none of those roles - Stalin's Russia. His dystopian science fiction novel We, written in 1920, never saw publication in Russia. He died in Paris in 1937, exiled from Russia at his own request.
For me, his quote expresses the essential shared nature of science fiction and fantasy: a revolution that never ends - an infinite revolution.
Comments and observations on science fiction and fantasy.
Why "The Infinite Revolution"?
"Revolution is everywhere, in everything. It is infinite. There is no final revolution, no final number.

Introduction
I've been reading science fiction and fantasy for as long as I can remember - in fact, my involvement goes back further than that, my mother used to say that she had read the Narnia books to me when I was a baby. I've maintained my interest over the years, and after my friend Colin started HIS blog (Campbell Brothers Winery), I thought to myself, hey, if no one stopped HIM*... I make no claim to being an authority in any way, shape or form, and since there are lots of lists, biographies and bibliographies out there on the net, this is just going to be a place for me to vent some of my thoughts and opinions.
*And the Campbell Brothers may be desperately in need of stopping, based on all evidence.

Cosplay is cool, Jessica is.......well, umm.....she no doubt has a fan base of ardent admirers...to each their own.
ReplyDeleteMs. Nigri is actually a bit of a polarizing figure in the cosplay community. Personally, I like her - she doesn't take herself too seriously, and all evidence indicates that she has a very serious interest in her hobby/profession. Poor girl - it must be a terrible thing to be a really earnest geek trapped in the body of a beautiful woman.

Agreed. People get pre-judged on their looks all the time before their intellect or talent. The only reason why she didn't appeal to me is that she reminds me of a former colleague from long ago who wasn't smart, talented or pleasant.....
