Alternative Worlds

The ultimate absurdity: Reading the radical SF
anthology Semiotexte(e) while the AFI tribute
to George Lucas is on the teevee.

From Rudy Rucker's introduction:

"....we asked for material which had been rejected by the
commercial SF media for its obscenity, radicalism or
formalistic absurdity.

"SHITFUCK SF

"In a society which supposedly enjoys freedom of speech
and the press, and yet manages somehow to stifle all
deviancy and repress all assaults on its third-rate consciousness
and culture, is it possible to publish *risky* and bizarre SF?
You bet? This is it; our writers have puked their guts out."

-- Bill Cleere

"I prefer the pleasure of writing bits of nonsense to that of wearing
an embroidered coat which costs 800 francs." (Stendahl)
