There’s this popular trope in fiction about a character being mind controlled without losing awareness of what’s happening. Think Jessica Jones, The Manchurian Candidate or Bioshock. The villain uses some magical technology to take control of your brain - but only the part of your brain that’s responsible for motor control. You remain conscious and experience everything with full clarity.

"Have Quotes About Salieri"

Besides joking with friends that “HAVE QUOTES ABOUT SALIERI” would be a good title for my current project, Weiss’s note to himself demonstrates the balance of fact, claim, and outright fiction in the project of writing historical crime fiction.

Sigint in Fiction

I had an articled published last month in the John Buchan Journal (unsurprisingly, the journal of the John Buchan Society). It is about the way that John Buchan drew on his First World War experience as a customer of Sigint to use cryptanalysis in one of his books and in a short story to advance the narrative, and to develop characters.

How Translation Works, Book Title Edition
(scalzi.com)
As any translator will tell you, translating a piece of fiction isn’t about simply transcribing words one-to-one from one language to another. It’s about capturing a vibe — making sure the tone and intent of the piece come through in words when a mere transliteration would fail.

Plausible Fiction – David Spivak
(topos.institute)
Each of us can see problems in the world, cases where something we care about is in need of attention. On the global scale, I am deeply concerned about rampant pollution, countries engaged in hostile acts of aggression, political corruption, cultural fragmentation, the effects of modern technology on human lives and livelihoods, and more.

Magical Thinking: Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward (2011)

Fiction rarely influences politics anymore, either because fewer people read it or because it has fewer things to say. Yet novels have affected America in large and unsubtle ways: Uncle Tom’s Cabin and The Jungle shaped the contours of the national current no less profoundly than our periodic wars and bank panics.
