DUAL LANGUAGE EDITION ENGLISH - ITALIAN Kalicalypse brings together recent stories of talented SF writers from Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, widening the scope of the previous Future Fiction volume Avatar . The stories deal with crucial issues for understanding the development of the subcontinent and therefore of a large slice of the world population: fascinating and disturbing visions at the same time, such as the ethics of mind-uploading in an aging population, the exploitation of mythic archetypes in VR by the powerful Shiva corporation, the biopolitics of fertility for which a daughter that bleeds becomes a valuable asset in The Fertile Market, the migration of climate change refugees to Edge-of-Space platforms and the consequences of prosthetics memory, and terraforming by nanobots for the amelioration of the Earth, and the challenges facing those who are operating junk-ships in space. "Speculative thinking underlies all gestures of critical thought. What lies at the other side of the Kalicalypse ? Many new worlds? Kalicalypse is the plurality we inhabit." - Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay Kalicalypse raccoglie storie di scrittrici e scrittori di talento provenienti da Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh e India, ampliando la portata del precedente volume di Future Fiction Avatar . I racconti trattano temi cruciali per capire lo sviluppo del subcontinente e quindi di un'ampia fetta della popolazione mondiale: visioni affascinanti e inquietanti al tempo stesso, come l'etica del mind-uploading in una popolazione che invecchia, lo sfruttamento di archetipi mitologici nella realt� virtuale da parte della multinazionale Shiva, la biopolitica della fertilit� per cui una figlia che sanguina diventa una risorsa preziosa nel "Mercato della Fertilit�", la migrazione di rifugiati climatici su piattaforme suborbitali, la terraformazione da parte di nanobot per il miglioramento della Terra e le sfide che devono affrontare coloro che gestiscono navi spazzatura nello spazio. "Il pensiero speculativo � alla base di tutte le azioni del pensiero critico. Cosa c'� dall'altra parte della Kalicalypse ? Molti mondi nuovi? Kalicalypse � la pluralit� in cui abitiamo." - Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay Table of Contents Introduction by Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay The New Humans by Trishna Basak Kali_Na by Indrapramit Das The Art of Possible by Yudhanjaya Wijeratne The Daughter That Bleeds by Shweta Taneja The New Migrants by Navin Weeraratne Anamnesis by Rupsa Dey The Architecture of Loss by Salik Shah Tethered by Haris Durrani Steeling Minds by Kehkashan Khalid The Almighty by Zafar Iqbal Afterword by Tarun K.
