Futurismic Information

Futurismic comes in three parts: The blog consists of short introductions to content that exists elsewhere on the web, usually (though not exclusively) with some sort of science fiction angle. The columns section covers the same ground in more detail, allowing for hyperbole, punditry, humour, or whatever else the writer chooses to deploy. Both blog and column entries might cover scientific advances; new technology and technological products; news about technology companies; descriptions of people impacted by technology; emergent cultural or social phenomena; or political issues that couldn't exist in the absence of any of the above. In addition to its core focus, content may delve into tangential issues at the whim of its contributors. Such tangents are made for particularly amusing or interesting content, or for news about the professional activities of its contributors. Or because the contributor thought you might find it interesting. The fiction section contains innovative, exciting new stories that use the tools of speculative fiction to examine contemporary issues and take a look at what's just around the corner. Futurismic's fiction section, in other words, is an extrapolative complement to our blog entries and columns. Or is it the other way around? Who's behind Futurismic? The Staff page has the answers you seek! We're always interested in potential non-fiction contributors: if you're an excellent writer with a keen interest in what tomorrow will bring, drop us a line! Do you pay for writing? Bloggers and essayists are not paid. They do it for the love. Or the glory.
