New Scientist "100 years from now" challenge: "A Little School"

This is just a short post, to direct people's attention to Ian McDonald's response to Kim Stanley Robinson's call for British SF writers to write a piece of "flash" fiction (no, that's FLASH, not SLASH!) about the world 100 years from now.

He called it A Little School, and it is strongly feminist. I would say that it has a wonderful concept at the base, but at the same time, it is dreadful to think that 100 years from now there would still be a need for such a concept.

Anyway, comments are open there, I encourage readers to pop along and have your say.

Comments Moderation Policy

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
