Lightspeed
Just tucking in to write a bit. I was inspired by a link out of io9 to Lightspeed magazine. I can’t wait to read more over there and perhaps submit some short fiction from the Daily Logs. Once again, I’m hiding behind my headphones b/c it’s the only way for me to totally tune out the world and focus. Today I’m listening to di.fm Chillout Station – a little harder than you might think. Works for me.
As I was sitting down to write I was thinking a lot about the documentary film Wasteland by Lucy Walker about artist Brazilian artist Vik Muniz who returns to Brazil to find subjects and materials for a set of work revolving around a community that lives off of recycling waste from the public landfill. The foundation of the political structure of Palomar City in the Gatecrashers universe is the idea of self-governed, independent sections of a major mega-cities. It is about the people who rise to power and govern the powerless.
