1900s futurism

I'm on tour with my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me in TUCSON (Mar 9-10), then SAN FRANCISCO (Mar 13), Anaheim, and more!

I'm profoundly skeptical of the idea that the future can be predicted, and doubly skeptical that sf writers are any kind of prophet. The former grotesque fatalism (if the future can be predicted, then what we do doesn't matter); the latter is tragicomic hubris.

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

That said, few people have been more consistently useful in understanding and anticipating (and yes, building) the future than my friend and colleague Karl Schroeder, whom I've known since I was 16 years old. Karl was the first person I heard say the world "internet." Also: "fractal," "World Wide Web," "ftp," and numerous other touchstones of the future just over the horizon.

Karl is, in fact, a futurist ("foresight consultant") who approaches the work with the same shrewd insight, wild imagination and humility that he brings to his fiction. In a new essay written with both his futurist and sf writer hats on, he nails down the toxic shadow cast by the 20th century sf, or, as he calls it, "The Science Fiction of the 1900s":

https://kschroeder.substack.com/p/the-science-fiction-of-the-1900s

Karl starts by describing the odd "double vision" of the future of the 1900s. On the one hand, many of us (myself included) were convinced that nuclear armageddon was inevitable. Unlike the unhinged architects of the nuclear arms-race, realists understood that a nuclear war would effectively end the future. As Einstein put it, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

But the flipside of that certainty that the future would end with the first nuclear strike was the belief that if we could just somehow walk the tightrope over the chasm of nuclear holocaust, we'd emerge in a future worth looking forward to: "a new era of peace and prosperity for all."

Contrast that with the existential dread of today's polycrisis: environmental collapse and political decay up to and including fascism. These aren't the binary proposition of nuclear annihilation vs Utopia – rather, they're a continuum of worse-and-better outcomes of every description. As Karl writes: "It’s not that simple. Our future now is an exhausting spectrum of scenarios, each with its own promise, and its own problems."

For Karl, we have entered a new epoch, but we've dragged in the long-expired way of imagining (and hence creating and navigating) the future with us. What makes this a new epoch? For Karl, it's the kind of future on our horizon. He cites Charles C Mann’s 1491, a superb history of the Americas before Columbus:

https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/107178/1491-second-edition-by-charles-c-mann/9781400032051/readers-guide/

1491 radically reframes "the patchwork of propaganda and inference" that makes up the received narrative of the so-called "New World." It describes a land of flourishing cities, art, science and culture "in the Americas while Rome was just getting its act together." Contact with colonizing Europeans was a disaster for First Nations people, who call this period "The Invasion." It was an epochal break.

Futurism is an inextricably historical discipline. The willingness of some settler-colonialists states to consider this epochal break forces us to reframe our literal place in history, the story of the land under our feet. At its best, this futuro-historical work can begin the long work of reconciliation, as with the Canadian government's promise of $23b in reparations for the First Nations people who were kidnapped as children and sent to murderous "residential schools" before, during and after the Sixties Scoop.

The sf of the 1900s is no longer fit for purpose, if it ever was. It's a literature that was steered by open fascists like John W Campbell, who explicitly saw the literature as a means of inculcating a societal narrative of the triumph of white, corporate technocracy over all other forms of government:

https://locusmag.com/2019/11/cory-doctorow-jeannette-ng-was-right-john-w-campbell-was-a-fascist/

Karl isn't the first sf writer to try to overturn this orthodoxy – indeed, it was continuously challenged by radicals within the field, as with the New Wave, personified by the likes of Samuel Delany and Judith Merril (who both mentored and introduced Karl and me):

https://pluralistic.net/2020/08/13/better-to-have-loved/#neofuturians

The cyberpunks took a good hard run at it, too. For plenty of writers (including me), Bruce Sterling and William Gibson's 1981 story "The Gernsback Continuum" was a wake-up call:

http://writing2.richmond.edu/jessid/eng216/gernsback.pdf

Not for nothing, William Gibson has long insisted that his 1984 classic Neuromancer should be read as utopian: after all, it depicts a future in which the inevitable nuclear war only reduces a few cities to radioactive ash, sparing the rest of the planet.

Bruce Sterling once paid me the supreme compliment of describing a 2003 story I wrote about the ways that algorithms will enshittify self-driving cars as "making everybody else in the business look like they live in a dark basement growing on the mulch from old STAR TREK scripts":

https://craphound.com/stories/2005/10/12/human-readable/

Schroeder – along with today's new radical sf writer cohort – wants to fashion a fictional futurism that is fit for this world and its crisis: "in our modern technological society, science fiction tells us what to spend our time and money on." The fact that our mediocre billionaires are mired in the sf of the 1900s means that we're getting some decidedly old-fashioned futures.

For Karl, Musk is a poster-child for this profoundly conservative, backwards-looking vision: "He’s fighting the intellectual battles of the last century, a 1900s hero dropped into the 2000s with an unlimited budget to reshape the future to fit the era he’s from." Musk's obsessions – "Space flight. Settling Mars. Cyberpunk-style brain-computer interfaces. Artificial Intelligence. Self-driving electric cars. Humanoid robots." – are 1900s science fiction.

Ironically, much of this fiction labels itself "hard sf," despite the fact that interstellar travel is utter fantasy – as is mass-scale, near-term interplanetary civilization:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/09/astrobezzle/#send-robots-instead

Karl wants "a future for the 2000s." He points to some efforts to make this happen, like Neal Stephenson's Hieroglyph anthology, edited by Ed Finn and Kathryn Cramer:

https://www.harpercollins.com/products/hieroglyph-ed-finnkathryn-cramer

The "Hieroglyph" is Stephenson's shorthand for a recognizable, tangible, meme-able gizmo or other touchstone for a 2000s-era vision of the future – a replacement for jetpacks and flying cars. Karl's story for the anthology, "Degrees of Freedom," focuses on an abstraction (governance: "the single most important thing humanity can focus its creative energies on right now"), and by Karl's own admission, it's not quite the hieroglyph Stephenson was looking for.

But Karl did come up with a hieroglyph in a later work, the "deodands" of 2019's Stealing Worlds – a software agent "that believes it is some natural system, such as a river or forest, and acts in its own self-interest, that being the preservation and thriving of that natural system":

https://memex.craphound.com/2019/06/18/karl-schroeders-stealing-worlds-visionary-science-fiction-of-a-way-through-the-climate-and-inequality-crises/

(My own contribution to Hieroglyph was very gadget heavy – "The Man Who Sold the Moon," about autonomous lunar 3D printers. It won the Sturgeon Award):

https://memex.craphound.com/2015/05/22/the-man-who-sold-the-moon/

I've been impressed with Karl since the day I met him in 1987. There's no one whose thoughts on the future I'm more interested in hearing. I don't think that's a coincidence, either: Karl is an autodidact who was raised by a Mennonite TV repairman – the first TV repair shop in the Canadian prairies. If you want to understand the future, try being raised by someone who takes that kind of deliberate approach to which technology to adopt, and how.

Hello! Speaking of the medical scenes/content in TfP, how did you go about planning those concepts and executing them? I’d love to work with robo-anatomy concepts. I always feel like I’m pulling stuff out of my ass when it comes to trying to give mechs believable ailments + navigating how to assess for and potentially heal those ailments

Hi!

Yeah... I know what you mean. There's definitely an element of yolo to it all xD

So I do have a Biology background and I have worked with a lot of different kinds of tissue/vectors/diseases. I can draw from this knowledge and cobble together robot-y sounding stuff in the shape of the Real World stuff, if that makes sense. I'm not sure what your educational background/specialty might be, but if any of it is medical, engineering, computer science, etc, draw from what you know. (either real viruses or computer viruses, is what I mean here haha)

If your specialty lies outside those fields, you can try reverse engineering what you need. If you know the medical thing you want, work backwards to what caused it, and then see how that fits with what you know of TFs.

In FtP, I took the canon fact of Mirage's disease and expanded on it- what caused it, how did it cascade out into various symptoms, how do those manifest in his actions. His diagnosis ends up being really complex, but still explainable. Using the canon-given mnemosurgery meant just about anything to do with the mind/memory was up for grabs. It all kinda came together as I wrote it. I wish I could be more specific for ya, but it's been a while since I wrote it.

I guess the best advice I can give you is: research a little of what you want to do, and then see how to robot-ify it. The deeper understanding you have of medical things, possibly the more realistic you can portray it. But also, most of your audience isn't deeply, deeply acquainted with the medical field (I'd wager) and are there for the fun of it :) Don't put too much pressure on yourself if it takes the fun out of writing ❣️

Thanks for the ask! I hope that helps 💪✨

My First CTF (Capture the Flag)

I've never had any experience doing CTF's or using nmap, but today has been really fun as I continued to learn how to find flags using nmap. For this to be able to happen, I went on Hack The Box and started practicing on there.

My experience with this was actually quiet fascinating. I learned about port scanning through nmap and have picked up a skill in knowing how to use the Linux terminal and navigate through it. Today, two of my CTF's contained lessons about using nmap to find open ports for Telnet and FTP (File Transfer Protocol). I'll admit it took me a while to learn how to find the flags within those services but I found great enjoyment in it. To be honest, I want to do so much more as I develop these skills and learn how to use new tools. Doing this also has helped me stay off the phone for a bit because doom scrolling on Instagram or YouTube is really unhealthy.

As a beginner in this area, I highly encourage newcomers to get on Hack The Box if you want to learn how to use nmap, as it also gives you a step by step lessons on how to find the flags and teaches you what to look for, for your future use of nmap.

I felt like sharing this post today because I wanted to show the hacking community how excited I am learning these skills, and even though I haven't done as much and an experience hacker, I'm still proud of the work I've done. If there's any advice, or pointers that anyone is willing to give me, I'll gladly take it. Anyways, thank you for reading this post.

And as always, Godspeed everyone.

YI Cam Remote Access: Your Guide to Self-Hosted Surveillance

Want to have complete control over your YI Cam and go beyond its default cloud? For more privacy and customization, many users prefer YI Cam Remote Access, rather than using the manufacturer's cloud. Therefore, this post explores how to accomplish this sophisticated configuration, assisting you in navigating the frequently challenging process of self-hosting your camera's feed. Walk through this post to learn more details! 

Understanding the YI Cam Remote Access

Generally, you need to install a custom firewall on your device if you want to access the YI camera remotely and connect it to your server. Additionally, it allows leveraging the benefits of the RTSP (real-time streaming protocol) streaming as well as FTP access.  Moreover, it eliminates the need for third-party platforms and for configuring cameras to the self-hosted servers.

However, it acts as a “Network Remote Controller,” especially for the multimedia servers. It allows users to control media playback remotely. But it does not deliver audio or video streams continuously; instead, it communicates with the servers streaming the multimedia content. Hence, for the YI Cam Remote Access, users must connect their security cameras to the server through RTSP.

How to Connect Camera To Server for YI Remote Access?

Moreover, enabling the YI Cam Remote Access opens up several possibilities and advanced functionalities. So, let’s begin with the essential steps to Connect Camera To Server for managing and monitoring your YI camera remotely. 

Initially, confirm your YI Cam supports the RTSP or streaming compatibility, as some models may require custom firmware.

Subsequently, set up your chosen server device, such as a computer, NAS, or Raspberry Pi, with a suitable operating system.

Next, install essential software like Blue Iris, MotionEye, FFmpeg, or Home Assistant to manage the video feed.

Finally, configure secure remote access using methods such as port forwarding, VPN, or Dynamic DNS for external viewing.

Now, you can view, configure, and control your YI camera remotely.

Bottom Line

In conclusion, YI Cam Remote Access empowers you with full control over your camera's feed through self-hosting, prioritizing privacy & customization. Additionally, this advanced setup typically requires RTSP compatibility, a dedicated server, and management software. With secure remote access methods such as VPN or port forwarding, you can ensure seamless monitoring from anywhere.

Get expert EOU consultancy services in India for setting up Export Oriented Units, availing duty benefits, and ensuring 100% compliance with DGFT, SEZ, and Customs regulations.

EOU Consultancy – Expert Solutions for Export-Oriented Units in India

In India’s push to boost exports and integrate with global markets, Export Oriented Units (EOUs) have emerged as vital contributors. To maximize the benefits and ensure regulatory compliance, businesses are increasingly turning to professional EOU consultancy services. These experts guide companies through the complex framework of EOU policies, licensing, duty exemptions, and operational procedures.

Whether you're planning to set up an EOU or looking to optimize your existing unit, the right consultancy partner can make a significant difference. Our specialized EOU Consultancy services are designed to simplify the legalities and unlock export incentives for manufacturers and service providers alike.

🔹 Comprehensive EOU Setup and Licensing Support

Setting up an EOU under the Foreign Trade Policy involves several regulatory approvals from the Development Commissioner and Customs. EOU consultants provide end-to-end support, from feasibility analysis and application drafting to document submission and liaison with government bodies. They ensure that businesses are aligned with the eligibility criteria, product/service specifications, and export commitment requirements.

Having a reliable consultant minimizes delays and ensures faster establishment of your export unit.

🔹 Duty Exemption and Incentive Planning

One of the major advantages of the EOU scheme is the duty-free import of raw materials, capital goods, and consumables. EOU consultants help you take full advantage of available fiscal incentives under GST, Customs, and FTP provisions. This includes navigating rules for IGST exemptions, EPCG benefits, and advance authorizations—leading to significant cost savings.

A good EOU consultancy partner ensures your import/export activities are optimized for tax efficiency while remaining fully compliant.

🔹 Customs Compliance and Bonding Procedures

EOUs are subject to stringent customs compliance such as warehousing under bond, periodical returns, and re-warehousing certificates. EOU consultants manage these procedures meticulously, ensuring error-free documentation, electronic filing, and coordination with customs officers. They also assist in setting up bonded premises and obtaining CT-3 certificates for duty-free procurement.

Proper compliance prevents unnecessary penalties, delays, and audit issues that can hurt your operations.

🔹 EOU Conversion, Exit, and De-Bonding Support

Businesses may wish to exit the EOU scheme or convert to a DTA (Domestic Tariff Area) unit. Consultants guide you through the de-bonding process, including duty payments, NOCs, and clearance of capital goods. They ensure you meet post-exit conditions, including export obligations and final reconciliations with the authorities.

Having experienced consultants during conversion or exit ensures a smooth transition with no regulatory setbacks.

✅ Benefits of Choosing EOU Consultancy Services

Expert navigation of complex FTP, GST, and Customs rules

Higher compliance with reduced tax/legal risks

Time-saving support for applications and renewals

Strategic guidance on maximizing duty exemptions and export performance

Whether you're a startup or an established manufacturer aiming to expand exports, EOU consultancy services help you operate more efficiently and profitably.

browsing job postings bc I hate myself and experienced a monkey paw-esque scenario.

this is basically how it went:

want a job that closely matches what I do and pays more than what I'm making now

find one

it looks perfect

realize it's entirely based around WordPress

die inside

all I want rn is to work on and maintain client websites. this position I found is exactly what I want. but I cannot stress to y'all how much I loathe using WordPress.

WP is ubiquitous for many reasons. it offers a seriously robust catalogue of plug-ins and is so established in the web dev world that it's hard to avoid it. and I can handle like... navigating WP. basic WP use. but WP also essentially requires that you know a fair amount of PHP in order to be a power user. I am not by any means a WP admin as far as skill level and comfort is concerned.

I don't know any PHP. I know FTP, but that's not really standard anymore, at least not at-scale from what I've found. and I know HTML! I know CSS! but PHP? barf. but PHP knowledge is required to use WP's dev console in general.

like yeah, there's thousands of resources online to learn PHP, but beyond that... I just really really hate how WP works as a WYSIWYG editor. imo it barely counts as one. it's so taxing trying to use it, I can see why there's still a need for a position like this. small businesses can really take advantage of what WP offers, but it comes at such a steep entry level that most small businesses basically need someone to update and maintain their sites for them if they want to remain visible online.

but WP is so archaic while simultaneously being so feature-rich for the average user that it's like........ I'm gonna have to learn it at this point, it seems.

it's gross and I hate it!! I wanted to complain bc if this position was for maintaining Wix sites I'd be applying rn!! but ig Wix is so much more user-friendly by comparison that it's only the most tech-illitetate that would need help maintaining their site if it was built on Wix.

just rly mad at my past self for not getting diagnosed with ADHD sooner bc if I had, i would have been able to focus on projects long enough in my youth that I would have acquired these skills, like PHP, ages ago. but alas. ig imma have to sit down and brute-force learning shit like this if i want to escape this mediocre position I'm in.

Just finished reading face the past! , totally an entertaining read ,thank you so much for your work , if you don't mind me asking, will we ever know the name of the mnemosurgeon who shadow played mirage? or do you prefer leaving it ambiguous?

hello anon! thanks so much for reading FtP!

[this ask and the answer have spoilers for Face the Past]

It's been a while since I've reread the fic, but I think Flatline mentions that his contact found some info- that the mnemosurgeon left some telltale signs... hmm. HMM. I think I may have had someone in mind, but it's been 6 years since I wrote it

[intense thinking sounds for 3 minutes straight]

heck lemme find the fic quote

.:Was your acquaintance able to tell who the mnemosurgeon was?:. “He has a guess...” .:Well?:. “Uh...” Flatline flicked through the light monitor. “Someone named... Chromedome?” Surprise flickered through Mirage's field. “He was-! How dare he have done that and waltz around the Lost Light with his conjunx! And me mere meters away, with such holes in my memory!” “My acquaintance left a note here saying that Chromedome specialized in erasing away loved ones.” .:Well! I wish someone would erase his loved one away! See how he likes it...:. The comm ended in angry static. “My acquaintance goes on to say the second mnemosurgical event was likely done by either Lobe or Cerebros. Neither of them were able to skillfully navigate the 'ravaged landscape' of your processor. His words, not mine. Hence the second round of damage.” .:I don't think I've ever met either of those mechs:. “Well, frankly...” Flatline made an uneasy gesture. “You wouldn't know, would you?”

I thiiiiiiink, if I recall my own thoughts at the time, that Chromedome did the first round (as his specialty indicates) and Cerebros or Lobe the second. The exact choice between Cerebros and Lobe is not relevant to this particular fic, but if there's ever a sequel, I will have to choose between the two xD Cerebros is probably a better bet, since we actually have a character design of him, and so it'll be easier for readers to envision the character :)

thanks for asking! =)

ps: probably an obvious jab/easter egg, but Mirage's "I wish someone would erase his loved one away!" alludes to the fact that this has, indeed, happened many times to Chromedome (though Mirage doesn't know that)

Salute The Brave: The only time a submarine has surrendered intact to air power alone. RAF Sqn 269 attacked U570 out on its first mission. It was afterwards commissioned into the Royal Navy as HMS Graph and used against it fellow U-Boats. Squadron Leader Thompson who lead the mission and his navigator Flying Officer Cole were both awarded the DFC. The Squadron's motto was 'We see All Things' - quite apt... (FTP)
