	Fiction: Jack London
		Jack London (1876-1916), unlike Bret Harte, Mark Twain, and most of the early American writers who wrote stories about the American West, was born in that region—in San Francisco.
		London regarded his adventure stories as inferior to his political writing, however; they were merely a means of making money to meet his expanding interests in social reform as a Socialist speaker and political candidate.
		London's death, possibly by his own hand, strangely echoed the events of his semi-autobiographical novel Martin Eden (1909), in which a writer achieves success, but after rejecting Socialist aims finds his life meaningless and commits suicide.

	The Science Fiction of Jack London
		In some stories, London emphasizes "social science fiction," the problems of society, particularly the exploitation of workers and the materialism of capitalism.

	LONDON: FICTION BECOMES PREDICTION IN "DIRTY WAR" PIC
		The congruences and similarities of the fiction of "Dirty War" and the events of July 7th in London are even more chilling than the context of the made-for-TV movie.
		Parts of the most important commercial districts of London are left unusable because of the gamma radiation in the dirty bomb, and the value of houses in neighborhoods near the blast plummet rapidly in the immediate aftermath of the suicide attack.
		Had the suicide bombers of real life been able to use radioactive contaminants, life in central London would have been disrupted for a generation to come, and thousands of real people would have been as grievously injured as were the thousands of fictional victims depicted in Daniel Percival's brilliant and disturbing 2004 television drama.

		I have met Stephenson on previous book tours, and in person he is exactly the classic introvert he says he is. Which means he is great to listen to at a reading, lecture, or Q&A session, but he is rather withdrawn if you try to talk to him one on one.
		I generally exclude Rand as a science fiction writer only because she didn't know that Anthem and Atlas Shrugged are science fiction -- and that science fiction is the "literature of ideas" that she erroneously believed detective fiction to be.

	Sci-Fi London 3, The 3rd Annual London Science-Fiction and Fantasy Festival
		With over thirty feature films showing across the three days (contrasting edginess with idealism) plus the events that are squeezed in between, you would need some sort of teleportation device to be able to see them all.
		The festival highlights this year range from big budget techno-treasures from the far east such as 2009 Lost Memories, Takeshi Miike’s Full Metal Yakuza and the Philip.K.Dick inspired Natural City to the British premiere of the new Battlestar Galactica TV series pilot episode.
		It may only be a small step for the evolution of science fiction but it’s a giant leap for the British film festival circuit; an independent, specialised event with a popular outlook that provides a quirky, fan-based antidote to some of the country’s more corpulent film festivals.
