South Park Yaoi Fanfiction

John Brunner published in 1968 science fiction novel set in 2010 and by chance I've read this year. Hugo Award winner, 1969, sorry about the translation made by the editorial acquis (which I have), it is probably better translation published in 2002 by the Factoria editorial ideas.

early twenty-first century, the planet Earth is a bomb ready to explode. The population has reached unimaginable levels, therefore it is necessary to promote law Eugenic , such as mandatory birth control and forced genetic manipulation. With these premises Brunner builds its future history.

In the literary field on Zanzibar All has an unusual structure somewhat disconcerting. This narrated on four themes: "The things that happen", "Context", "Continuity" and "Displaying close-ups." It consists of small episodes of each of the axes that are interspersed:

• " Continuity "is the backbone to tell a story, understood as the main characters that happen a number of interesting things.
• " Things that happen "are flashes on the society, some episodes of this axis are a hodgepodge of newspaper headlines, ads, TV news, etc.. Others are purely experimental literature.
• " Context" is a mixed bag with room completely disparate things: poems, scripts for TV news (some have things we've already known for the other axes) or commercials .
• " Displaying close "tells intimate stories of several characters, some of them also appear in" Continuity "but what counts in this theme is related only tangentially to the main story, its main purpose is to enrich the characters.

I refuse to end this post without copying the words of Chad Mulligan Context (17) The burden of debt :

"" Yes, my name is Chad Mulligan. Very good . I will speak of the poor. Do you know where to find the poor? No, do not go out into the street like an idiot to find a person who wears dirty rags and sleep on the sidewalk. Until a few days this person would be me, and I have a few million dollars.

And it does not go to either India or Bolivia or to find a poor Benini. Just go exactly the distance to the nearest mirror.

A guy who lives as I have done over the past three years, homeless and without even a suitcase, is not necessarily poor, as I said. But free from the things that block the perception of truth has a chance to review the situation and weigh it. A things you can do is what has changed and what is not, in this new century our magnificent.

Things have risen slightly above average, six times "are, among other , your typical income, the cost of food and clothing, the pijadas without which you have the impression of being a nobody-a holographic TV, for example-and the overall cost of rentals and accommodations.

But what is up more, more more? Things like water. Did you know you pay eleven times more for water of what was paid for fifty years, and unable to spend more because there is none?

My friend, do not have to go to India or Africa to find people on the verge of poverty. You are. Our resources are stretched so as to get one more glass of water for anyone to drink two instead of one costs more than eleven times in 1960. You can live without TV, you can live without a telephone, but without water? Aha! We will not starve, but if you want to enjoy a proper diet for your height and your muscles without precedent, you pay six times more than your grandfather, but probably nine or ten times.

clear? There is the knowledge necessary to make possible all these things, but as we are so close to bankruptcy at the global level, your home does not contain almost anything that your grandparents did not immediately recognize, and who could not be used without being told how, and , which is more likely to complain of the stench of garbage is not removed from the streets and even your scent, because in his time the water was cheaper and could shower and even bathe as many times as they wished.
