Howard Waldrop & Lawrence Person review HugoSunday 27 November 2011 | Reviews
Howard Waldrop: Hugo is Martin Scorsese's best movie. (But then, it's about a lonely kid and a forgotten chapter of movie history, so how could he go wrong?) Scorsese proves that if you love movies enough, you can even overcome a PG rating. I can't recommend this film enough.

Spotlight on: Brian Stableford, Translator and AuthorThursday 24 November 2011 | Perspectives
The fascination with works of French proto-SF stems, originally, from the days when I produced a history of Scientific Romance in Britain 1890-1950, when I became very interested in comparisons and contrasts between the early development of the British and American traditions of speculative fiction – and, as a corollary, further comparisons and contrasts between those and the early evolution of Europeans traditions.

Geoff Ryman: Maximum ChangeSunday 20 November 2011 | Perspectives
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's November Issue interview.
Drama is about change. In science fiction, we have the potential to be the most dramatic popular genre, because we potentially are writing about real social change: about the death of everything you believe in, everything you thought you knew.
