Why, that would be me, thanks.
What is Futurismic?
I’ll let them answer that:
Futurismic is a website for people interested in the future and the effects of science and technology on the present. Futurismic comes in three parts: the blog section consists of short, well-written, opinionated introductions to content that exists elsewhere on the Internet. The columns section covers the same ground in more detail. Blog and column entries content include scientific advances; new technology and technological products; news about technology companies; descriptions of people impacted by technology; emergent cultural or social phenomena; or political issues that couldn’t exist in the absence of any of the above. In addition to its core focus, content may delve into tangential issues at the whim of its contributors. Such tangents are made for particularly amusing or interesting content, or for news about the professional activities of its contributors.
In Futurismic’s fiction section you’ll find innovative, exciting new stories that use the tools of speculative fiction to examine contemporary issues and take a look at what’s just around the corner. Futurismic’s fiction section, in other words, is an extrapolative complement to our blog entries and columns.
Tobias S. Buckell, one of Futurismic’s contributors, recently noted that the site was looking for a few good bloggers. I took the bait, and found out today I’m in!
The goal is a daily post from each of us newbies (I don’t know who the others are, yet), more if we’re so inclined. I hope to start with the posts tomorrow. Be sure to check it out!
