Document Summary
Cont"d from last week"s rachel swirsky"s eros, philia, agape. Difference in sf is signalled by: setting. Space; a future or alternate earth; another planet; a spaceship; alien environments and cultures; a technologically highly advanced society, etc: characters. Subjectivities: sf explores, presents, and challenges us with a variety of other subject positions ie. There are clues in the story that tell us that it"s an sf story. The challenge of reading sf is to be aware of how language is manipulated in some ways. Even before we know lucian is a robot, some language in the text gives us clues that it"s a sf. There"s no shangri-la for rebel robots tells us that its sf story. He"d come to adriana as opposed to they met, or was introduced its like he"s owned by adriana. One we learn that lu is a robot, the sf language is more noticeable. Lucian"s scupted face, his skin inlaid with tiny lines".
