Joan Slonczewski’s Elysium Cycle is no exception to this rule, and its four novels discuss the question, “What does it mean to be human?” in ever new contexts. But instead of the action-driven plots that frequently structure tales of interstellar travel and colonization, we find a focus on negotiations between the different agents and representatives of alternate life forms to avoid escalating conflicts. Within these novels, the outbreak of large-scale violence can ultimately be prevented by compromise, but also by a willingness to recognize the similar in the other, the familiar in the non-human. This paper explores not only these aspects in Slonczewski’s novels, but also her feminist and participatory epistemology as the basis for an alternative practice of science and politics.","PeriodicalId":273005,"journal":{"name":"Extrapolation: Volume 61, Issue 3","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114054967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the EMSIAC war computers in Limbo may be blamed for World War III, they are only ever a scapegoat to shift blame away from the humans who follow orders blindly, and themselves behave much like machines. To this end, this paper will explore the ethical implications of Wolfe’s novel and what it means for the way we wage wars with robotic drones controlled by humans from afar.","PeriodicalId":273005,"journal":{"name":"Extrapolation: Volume 61, Issue 3","volume":"7 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114021509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
