KommentarMargaret Atwood om amerikanske tilstander. Hva kan jeg si om USA og dets høyreorienterte Maga-revolusjon som ikke kommer til å være utdatert om ti minutter? Om du snur deg vekk i ett sekund, har det kommet noe nytt som trekker oppmerksomheten vekk fra gårsdagens sjokk. I dag fører USA økonomisk krig mot sine såkalte venner og allierte. (Hvem vil tjene på det, i det lange løp? Det vil Kina.) Hva blir det neste målet? Virkelig krigføring mot såkalte venner og allierte? Å invadere Canada?

The world is full of Aunt Lydias. There are so many marvellous creations in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, so many moments of horror and shock and – ‘oh of course it would happen that way’. So many things that look very prescient now, as the gains of the women’s movement in the 70s, 80s and 90s are slowly being rolled back in the USA. But most of all, there are Aunt Lydias.

‘Speculative fiction encompasses that which we could actually do,’ Margaret Atwood famously said, often considered mother of the genre. ‘Sci-fi is that which we’re probably not going to see.’ Her comment emerged during a long-running (and occasionally heated) debate – one that saw her butt heads with SF titan Ursula K. Le Guin, who countered that speculative fiction is science fiction, and that trying to draw a line between them was merely splitting hairs.

The music industry is fighting on platforms, through the courts and with legislators in a bid to prevent the theft and misuse of art from generative AI — but it remains an uphill battle. Sony Music said recently it has already demanded that 75,000 deepfakes — simulated images, tunes or videos that can easily be mistaken for real — be rooted out, a figure reflecting the magnitude of the issue.

In 1965, when I was twenty-five and starting out as a writer, I was reading The New Yorker, as all of us young writers did. The magazine published short stories and I wrote them, though, at that time, not very many of them and not very well. In the April 3rd issue, I came across a story called “Orphans’ Progress,” by Mavis Gallant, a writer I hadn’t heard of. Oddly, it was set in Canada; most of the stories in The New Yorker took place in the United States, and why not?
