John Kilian Houston Brunner Zitate

John Kilian Houston Brunner war ein britischer Science-Fiction-Autor.

Seine ersten Romane werden der konventionellen Space Opera zugerechnet, bald jedoch begann er, einen eigenen Romanstil zu entwickeln. Sein 1968 erschienener Roman Morgenwelt wurde 1969 mit dem Hugo Award als bester Science-Fiction-Roman ausgezeichnet und gilt heute als einer der Klassiker des Genres, ebenso wie Schafe blicken auf . Mit seinem Roman „Der Schockwellenreiter“, gilt er als der Schöpfer des Konzeptes des Computerwurms.

John Brunner wird häufig den Cyberpunk-Autoren zugerechnet, obwohl er den Großteil seines Werkes bereits vor der Phase des Cyberpunk in den 1980er Jahren publizierte.

Seine Pseudonyme waren K. H. Brunner, Gill Hunt, John Loxmith, Trevor Staines und Keith Woodcott. Wikipedia

„UNMÖGLICH Bedeutet 1. Paßt mir nicht, und sollte es doch dazu kommen, werde ich dagegen sein. 2. Ich will in Ruhe gelassen werden. 3. Gott will in Ruhe gelassen werden. Bedeutung 3 hat vielleicht einen Sinn, aber die anderen Bedeutungen sind 101%iger Walmist“

Morgenwelt, Deutsche Übersetzung von Horst Pukallus, München 1980, ISBN 3-453-30653-8, S. 21)
Original englisch: "IMPOSSIBLE — Means: (1) I wouldn't like it and when it happens I won't approve; (2) I can't be bothered; (3) God can't be bothered. Meaning 3 may perhaps be valid, but the others are 101% whaledreck." - Stand On Zanzibar. Del Rey, 1987. p. 5

„Wenn Sie wissen wollen, was der Guillotine kurz vorausgeht, dann halten Sie Ausschau nach dem offensichtlichsten aller Symptome: dem Extremismus. […] Legt man also den Maßstab des Extremismus an, ergibt sich im Effekt die Schlußfolgerung, daß wahrscheinlich das menschliche Geschlecht insgesamt nicht lange überdauern kann.“

Original englisch: "If you want to know what's shortly due for the guillotine look for the most obvious of all symptoms: extremism.

„ZUFALL Sie haben der anderen Hälfte dessen, was sich abspielte, keine Beachtung geschenkt.“

John Kilian Houston Brunner: Zitate auf Englisch

“If you want to know what's shortly due for the guillotine look for the most obvious of all symptoms: extremism.”

context (12) "The Sociological Counterpart of Cheyne-Stokes Respiration" <!-- [Italics in source] -->
Stand on Zanzibar (1968)
Kontext: If you want to know what's shortly due for the guillotine look for the most obvious of all symptoms: extremism. It is an almost infallible sign — a kind of death-rattle — when a human institution is forced by its members into stressing those and only those factors which are identificatory, at the expense of others which it necessarily shares with competing institutions because human beings belong to all of them.

“When the Everywhere couple crack a joke
It's laughed at by all right-thinking folk.
When the Everywhere couple adopt a pose
It's the with-it view as everyone knows.”

Kontext: Watching their sets in a kind of trance
were people in Mexico, people in France.
They don't chase Jones but the dreams are the same —
Mr. and Mrs. Everywhere, that's the right name!

A gadget on the set makes them look like you. When the Everywhere couple crack a joke
It's laughed at by all right-thinking folk.
When the Everywhere couple adopt a pose
It's the with-it view as everyone knows.
It may be a rumor or it may be true
But a gadget on the set has it said by you! "What do you think about Yatakang?"
"I think the same as the Everywhere gang."
"What do you think of Beninia then?"
"The Everywheres will tell me but I don't know when."
Whatever my country and whatever my name
A gadget on the set makes me think the same.

“Whatever my country and whatever my name
A gadget on the set makes me think the same.”
