Running Man, von Robert Sheckley: The Prize of Peril bis Bachmann: Menschenjagt
Synopse: Die besprochenen Texte und Filme im Vergleich als Infografik [PDF] Trailer zum Film und seinen Vorgängern in umgekehrter chronologischer Abfolge Running Man (USA 1987) – trailer english, remasterd version Running Man – deutscher Trailer «Le prix du danger» (Frankreich 1983) [deutscher Titel: »Kopfjagd – Preis der Angst«] »Das Millionenspiel« (1070) – Trailer Ressourcen “The Price of Peril” (1958) von Robert Sheckley ist in Originalfassung (engl.) zum Nachlesen online verfügbar. Robert Sheckleys Kurzgeschichte “The Seventh Victim” (später umbenannt und auch als Film adaptiert unter dem Titel “The 10th Victim“) ist als Hörspiel-Adaption auf Youtube verfügar Das Millionenspiel (1970) – ganzer Film, auf Youtube verfügbar Entstehen und Inspiration, Vergleiche Robert Sheckleys Kurzgeschichte “The Prize of Peril” von 1958hieß auf Deutsch zunächst »Der Tod spielt mit«. In einer Anthologie von 1988 findet sie sich jedoch als erste Geschichte unter dem gleichen Titel wie der deutsche Films von 1970: »Das Millionenspiel« Unter dem Pseudonym Richard Bachmann erschien Steven Kings Roman “The Running Man” im Jahr 1982.Auf Deutsch wurde er veröffentlicht unter dem Titel »Menschenjagt« Stephen King sagt in “On Writing”, dass die originalen vier Bachmann-Bücher vor Carry entstanden sind. Veröffentlich wurden sie dann: Carry (1974) Und nach dem Erfolgen seine alten Entwürfe unter Bachmann: Rage (1977)The Long Walk (1979)Roadwork (1981)The Running Man (1982) Es ist also theoretisch möglich, dass “The Running Man” vor “The Prize of Peril” geschrieben wurde. According to King’s 2002 memoir On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, he wrote The Running Man within a single week, compared to his normal 2,000-word or ten-page daily output—so that writing a novel normally takes approximately three months.[3] In “The Importance of Being Bachman”, a new introduction to the 1996 edition of The Bachman Books, King describes The Running Man as “a book written by a young man who was angry, energetic, and infatuated with the art and the craft of writing.”In the same introduction King describes Ben Richards as “scrawny” and “pre-tubercular”. He observes that Arnold Schwarzenegger, who played Ben Richards in the film adaptation of The Running Man, portrayed the character very differently than he wrote about him in the book, saying that Richards (in the book) was “as far away from the Arnold Schwarzenegger character in the movie as you can get.Quelle:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Running_Man_(novel) Bob Sheckley told me he was surprised at Running Man because it was so close to The Prize of Peril. Sheckley said King was apparently a fan of his, so I asked Bob how he handled it. He said he wrote out a list of all the similarities between the two stories and then called King on the phone. He said King was surprised and said he didn’t remember reading The Prize of Peril. Sheckley really had nowhere to go after that and the conversation was over. Sheckley didn’t characterize King as a thief or as not as nice guy, but he told me King probably read it and forgot about it, and then was too embarrassed because he’d accidentally stolen from Sheckley, a writer he liked. Quelle:https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/100894/what-is-the-connection-between-das-millionenspiel-and-the-running-man The late Robert Sheckley was one of science fiction’s premiere satirists and humorists, rivaled for that title only by Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams (who was himself clearly influenced by Sheckley), and he was more prolific than either of them, particularly at shorter lengths, turning out hundreds of short stories over the course of his fifty-three year career. Sheckley sold his first novel, Immortality, Inc., in 1958, and followed it up over the years with other novels such as Dimension of Miracles, Mindswap, The Status Civilization, Journey Beyond Tomorrow, Watchbird, Journey of Joenes, The 10th Victim, Hunter/Victim, Victim Prime, and Godshome. He has also written five mystery novels as Stephen Dain, three “Hob Draconian” mysteries under his own name, a Babylon 5 novel, and three novels in collaboration with Roger Zelazny, Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming, A Farce to Be Reckoned With, and If at Faust You Don’t Succeed. His many short stories have been collected in Can You Feel Anything When I Do This?, Citizen in Space, Notions: Unlimited, The People Trap and Other Pitfalls, Pilgrimage to Earth, Shards of Space, The Robot Who Looked Like Me, Untouched by Human Hands, and others. His last book was a massive retrospective collection, The Masque of Manana. He was named Author Emeritus by the Science Fiction Writers of America in 2001. He died in 2005.Two of his most famous stories, “The Seventh Victim” and the story that follows, “The Prize of Peril,” predicted the twin crazes of reality TV and Adventure Gaming more than forty years before they actually came into existence—and still bear palpable stings in their sleek and shiny tails even to this very day.Quelle: Vorwort zu Robert Sheckley: The Prize of Peril Ben Richards, der magere, schwindsüchtige Pro ta-gonist von Menschenjagd (er ist ungefähr so weit von der im Film durch Arnold Schwarzenegger verkörperten Figur entfernt wie überhaupt möglich), knallt mit seinem ent-führten Flugzeug gegen den Wolkenkratzer von Network Games, nimmt seinen eigenen Tod in Kauf, reißt aber Hun-derte (vielleicht Tausende) von leitenden Free-Vee-Angestell-Regulator.indd9Regulator.indd 920.12.201013:58:19Uhr20.12.2010 13:58:19 Uhr10ten mit in diesen Tod: Das ist Richard Bachmans Version von einem Happy End.Quelle:»Was es bedeutet, Bachman zu sein« – von Stephen King”, Prolog von »Menschenjagt« “Running Man” – Film und Romanvorlage im Vergleich [engl.] Ähnliche Filme Black Mirror: White Bear – besprochen in Rewrite-Episode 008 The Hunger Games / Die Tribute von Panem Ballte Royale (2000) Empfohlene Podcasts KBDG Ausgabe 23: Richard Bachmanns »Menschenjagd« The SFFaudio Podcast #422The Running Man by Stephen King and The Prize Of Peril by Robert Sheckley (engl.)

Dune-PC-Spiele: Dune & Dune II (1992)
Dune (1992)1992’s Dune from Cryo Interactive/Virgin Interactive blends adventure with strategy. Loosely following the story of the 1965 novel Dune and using many visual elements from the 1984 film of the same name by David Lynch, the game casts the player as Paul Atreides, with the ultimate goal of driving the Harkonnens from the planet Dune and taking control of its valuable export, the spice. Key to success is the management of spice mining, military forces, and ecology as the player amasses allies and skills.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_based_on_Dune Dune II (1992)Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty, later retitled Dune II: Battle for Arrakis for the Mega Drive/Genesis port, was released in December 1992 from Westwood Studios/Virgin Interactive. Often considered to be the first “mainstream modern real-time strategy game”, Dune II established many conventions of the genre. Only loosely connected to the plot of the novels or films, the game pits three interplanetary houses — the Atreides, the Harkonnens, and the Ordos — against each other for control of the planet Arrakis and its valuable spice, all while fending off the destructive natural forces of the harsh desert planet itself.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_based_on_Dune Dune 2000 (1998)Dune 2000, a 1998 remake of Dune II from Intelligent Games/Westwood Studios/Virgin Interactive, added improved graphics and live-action cutscenes. Though gameplay is similar to its predecessor, Dune 2000 features an enhanced storyline and functionality.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_based_on_Dune Emperor: Battle for Dune (2001)Emperor: Battle for Dune (Intelligent Games/Westwood Studios/Electronic Arts) was released on June 12, 2001. A sequel to Dune 2000, the real-time strategy game features 3D graphics and live-action cutscenes, and casts players as Atreides, Harkonnens, or Ordos.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_based_on_Dune Dune LegacyDune Legacy is an effort by a handful of developers to revitalize the first-ever real-time strategy game.It tries to be as similar as possible to the original gameplay but to integrate user interface features most modern realtime-strategy games have like selecting multiple unitshttp://dunelegacy.sourceforge.net/website/ Dune is a 1992 adventure strategy video game, based upon Frank Herbert‘s science fiction novel of the same name. It was developed by Cryo Interactive and published by Virgin Games.Dune blends adventure with economic and military strategy. Loosely following the story of the novel, the game casts the player as Paul Atreides, with the ultimate goal of driving the Harkonnen from Planet Dune, while managing spice extraction, military, and later, ecology through the native Fremen tribes. As the player progresses, his troops are equipped with weapons from “crysknives” to atomics, tap into Paul’s latent psychic powers and get acquainted with such characters from the book as Chani and Liet-Kynes.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(video_game) On 19 September 1990, after a change in management, Virgin threatened to cancel the production.[1][3] No contract had yet been signed; the developers feared all their work would be lost.Frank Herman managed to salvage the project, but the American backers, including Martin Alper, pulled out. Alper entrusted the electronic adaptation rights of Dune to an American studio, Westwood Studios, at a meeting in Las Vegas.[4]The developers, working on the game practically in secret, ended up with a design document more than 100 pages long.[2]The game was inspired by the novel by Frank Herbert, but also by David Lynch’s film. Feyd-Rautha, for example, retained the likeness of Sting, but the majority of the characters were completely redesigned by Jean-Jacques Chaubin. Also adapted from the film is the “weirding module”, a weapon that does not exist in the novel. The graphics were created for VGA 256 color mode.[5] In early 1991, the Gulf War seemed to echo the themes of Dune and Ulrich was inspired to integrate images recalling the night bombing of Baghdad into the game.[1]In April 1991, Sega bought Virgin’s European operations and Cryo lost Jean-Martial Lefranc, its intermediary with the publisher’s general management. Their new manager, Christian Brecheteau, discovered that Virgin Entertainment had financed Cryo in secret, but fortunately expressed interest in the project.[1] An audit of the accounts of Sega France, which absorbed Virgin Loisirs, was carried out. Management now realized that the development of Dune in France was still being funded, while Sega had not obtained the Dune license.Members of the Cryo team rushed to London to meet with Martin Alper to present their work samples and hopefully save the project.[1] Alper and Bishop were excited by the early prototypes and they reversed their cancellation decision, despite still having another Dune project under development. They gave Cryo five weeks to present a prototype able to satisfy the American public.The plot was modified from the novel and the developers chose to start the game with the arrival of Paul on Arrakis.[1] A few weeks later, they sent a prototype to the United States. Alper was impressed not only by the game but also by the soundtrack, which he wanted to release on CD. In September 1991, he signed the game Dune and a second game, KGB, which Ulrich had proposed to him at the European Computer Trade Show in London in 1990.[1][3] In October 1991, the game was in pre-beta, with a demo version planned.[5] On 27 September 1991, Virgin Games USA signed an agreement with Sega for an adaptation of Dune for Mega-CD.[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(video_game)#Trouble In January 1992, after this comeback, Ulrich, Herbulot and Lefranc spun off Cryo Interactive as an independent company. Cryo’s Dune arrived in stores before Westwood’s game, which was eventually renamed Dune II. The development of Dune cost 3 million francs, of which 800,000 was used by Cryo.[1] With the signing of the distribution contract, Cryo was granted a budget of 600,000 francs.[1]Cryo planned a number of ports, to Atari ST, Amiga, CD32, Super Nintendo and possibly NES and Master System.[5] Most never saw the light of day. Philippe Ulrich also planned a sequel to the game, which this time would place the player on the side of the Harkonnens.[2]Dune was one of the first floppy disk games to be ported to the new CD format. This was thanks to Ulrich’s willingness to exploit this new medium, despite initial opposition from David Bishop.[1][6] The Sega Mega-CD version had graphics close to the Amiga version’s, but offered the extras of the DOS CD-ROM version: snippets from Lynch’s film, voice acting and new travelling animations.Mega placed the game at No. 10 in their Top Mega CD Games of All Time.[7]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(video_game)#Aftermath Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (titled Dune II: Battle for Arrakis in Europe and Dune: The Battle for Arrakis for the North American Mega Drive/Genesis port respectively) is a real-time strategy Dune video game developed by Westwood Studios and released by Virgin Games in December 1992. It is based upon David Lynch‘s 1984 movie Dune, an adaptation of Frank Herbert‘s science fiction novel of the same name.While not necessarily the first real-time strategy (RTS) video game, Dune II established the format that would be followed for years to come.[1][2] As such, Dune II is the archetypal “real-time strategy” game. Striking a balance between complexity and innovation, it was a huge success and laid the foundation for Command & Conquer, Warcraft, and many other RTS games that followed.Emperor Frederick IV of House Corrino is desperate for the harvesting of the valuable drug melange (also known as “the spice”), found only on the planet Arrakis, to pay off all of his debt incurred on internecine wars with family members. To achieve this, he now offers the sole governorship of Arrakis to whichever of the three Houses (Atreides, Harkonnen, and the non-canon Ordos) delivers the most spice for him. War begins as deputations from all three Houses arrive on Arrakis.The player is a military commander from a House of their choice. In the first few missions the objectives are to establish successfully a base on an unoccupied territory of Arrakis, to harvest spice, and to defeat intruders. Later, when the three Houses divide Arrakis among them, the player has to assault and capture enemy territories. When the player dominates Arrakis on the world map, the two other enemy factions ally against their common enemy. The ultimate final showdown is the battle between the player’s House against three enemy sides, among them Frederick’s forces the Sardaukar (an unplayable elite force whose heavy infantry are particularly powerful). The introductory, mission briefing and endgame cutscenes are different for each House, in keeping with their very disparate world views. The weaponry and units also vary from house to house.The player takes the role of the commander of one of the three interplanetary houses, the Atreides, the Harkonnen or the Ordos, with the objective of wresting control of Arrakis from the other two houses. House Ordos is not featured in the Dune novels and is mentioned only in the non-canon Dune Encyclopedia. The basic strategy in the game is to harvest spice from the treacherous sand dunes using a harvester vehicle, convert the spice into credits via a refinery and to build military units with these acquired credits in order to fend off and destroy the enemy. The game map initially starts with a fog of war covering all area which is not covered by the player’s units range of view. As the units explore the map, the darkness is removed. Unlike later games such as Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, the fog of war is lifted forever with initial exploration; it does not become dark once more when units leave the area.In addition to enemy incursions, there are other dangers such as the marauding, gigantic sandworm, capable of swallowing vehicles and infantry whole but blocked by rocky terrain. The player can only build on rocky terrain, but must build concrete foundations before to avoid deterioration of the structures due to the harsh weather conditions. Structures will still gradually decay over time regardless of the presence of those concrete slabs due to the aforementioned weather conditions, though the concrete saves repair costs in the long run. Spice fields are indicated by orange coloration on the sand, darker orange indicating high concentration. Some spice may be concealed as bumps on the terrain (a “spice bloom”) that become spice fields when they are shot at, or when a unit runs over them (the unit is destroyed in the ensuing “spice blow”).The player is presented a map of the planet Arrakis before most missions, where they can choose the next territory to play in among two or three. This affects primarily the enemy house fought in the next mission, as all missions except the first two require the complete destruction of the enemy. Nine territories must be fought, irrespective of house, to reach the endgame.Some key elements that first appeared in Dune II and later appear in many other RTS games include:A world map from which the next mission is chosenResource-gathering to fund unit constructionSimple base and unit constructionBuilding construction dependencies (technology tree)Mobile units that can be deployed as buildingsDifferent sides/factions (the Houses), each with unique unit-types and super weaponsA context-sensitive mouse cursor to issue commands (introduced in the Mega Drive/Genesis version)Completing higher missions gives authorization to use improved technology and higher-order weaponry unique to each House, ensuring varied game play. For example, House Harkonnen may be able to construct their Devastator tanks with heavy armor and ordnance but cannot build the similarly impressive Atreides Sonic Tank. The Ordos have access to the Deviator – a specialized tank firing a nerve gas that switches the allegiance of targeted units to Ordos for a limited period of time. The three Houses also are restricted in their production capabilities—House Ordos cannot build Atreides-style trikes, instead making the faster “Raider” trikes, while House Harkonnen constructs heavier but more expensive quad bikes.A player can gain access to other Houses’ special units by capturing an enemy Factory and manufacturing the desired units at the captured Factory (House Atreides’ Heavy Vehicle Factory for Sonic Tank, House Ordos’ Light Vehicle Factory for Raider trikes, House Ordos’ Heavy Vehicle Factory for Deviator tanks, or House Harkonnen’s Heavy Vehicle Factory for Devastator tanks). Note that a Deviator not owned by House Ordos still switches control of targeted units to House Ordos, and not to the side that owns the Deviator. Apparently Westwood was aware of this feature, since capturing a Sardaukar Heavy Vehicle Factory allows the player to build both the Sonic Tank and Devastator, but not the Ordos Deviator.Buildings may only be built in rocky zones and connected to another existing building. To protect them from constant wear, the player must first place concrete slabs in the construction areas. Production buildings can be upgraded at a cost several times, allowing the production of more advanced units or buildings.The final prize for the commander is the building of the House Palace from where superweapons may be unleashed on opponents in the final closing chapters of the game. The House Harkonnen superweapon is a long-range powerful but inaccurate finger of missiles called the Death Hand, whereas House Atreides may call upon the local Fremen infantry warriors, over which the player has no control, to engage enemy targets. House Ordos may unleash a fast-moving Saboteur whose main purpose is the destruction of buildings.The AI of Dune II was one of the first used in RTS games, and while better than that of Herzog Zwei, it has various drawbacks. Examples include only attacking the side of the player’s base facing its own, general inability to perform flanking maneuvers, and not rebuilding defenses.[3] Recent research into the game’s engine by fans revealed that the AI is in fact capable of more advanced strategy, but that a large part of these capabilities is unused due to consistently repeated errors in all of the game’s mission scripts.[4]According to Virgin Interactive vice president Stephen Clarke-Willson in 1998, the development of Dune II began when Virgin Interactive planned to cancel the production of Cryo Interactive‘s adventure game Dune, after which he was given the task of figuring out what to do with the Dune license.[5] After reading the original Dune novel, he decided that “from a gaming point-of-view the real stress was the battle to control the spice,” so a resource-based strategy video game would be a good idea. It was around this time that employee Graeme Devine (who later founded Trilobyte) introduced to everyone at the Virgin office a real-time strategy game on the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive console called Herzog Zwei (1989). Clarke-Willson described it as a game where the player “kept clicking on stuff and then zooming off to another part of the screen. It was very hard to keep track of what was going on as an observer. Still, everyone liked it, it had fast action, and it was a strategy game.” Virgin staff, including Clarke-Willson and Seth Mendelsohn (who later worked on the Ultima series), then went to Westwood Studios to talk about making a Dune game. According to Clarke-Willson, “Westwood agreed to make a resource strategy game based on Dune, and agreed to look at Herzog Zwei for design ideas.” It later turned out that Cryo’s game of the same name was not cancelled, and Westwood’s real-time strategy game was called Dune II as a result.[6]Westwood Studios co-founder and Dune II producer Brett Sperry said in 2008 that conceptualization for the game began when Virgin president Martin Alper approached him with the offer of using their Dune license to produce a game, with the understanding that Cryo’s Dune had been cancelled. In terms of video game design, Sperry stated, “The inspiration for Dune II was partly from Populous, partly from my work on Eye Of The Beholder and the final and perhaps most crucial part came from an argument I once had with Chuck Kroegel, then vice president of Strategic Simulations Inc … The crux of my argument with Chuck was that wargames sucked because of a lack of innovation and poor design. Chuck felt the category was in a long, slow decline, because the players were moving to more exciting genres … I felt that the genre had a lot of potential – the surface was barely scratched as far as I as [sic] concerned, especially from a design standpoint. So I took it as a personal challenge and figured how to harness realtime dynamics with great game controls into a fast-paced wargame.” He also stated that, while “Herzog Zwei was a lot of fun,” the “other inspiration for Dune II was the Mac software interface,” referring to the “design/interface dynamics of mouse clicking and selecting desktop items” which got him thinking, “Why not allow the same inside the game environment? Why not a context-sensitive playfield? To hell with all these hot keys, to hell with keyboard as the primary means of manipulating the game!” During production, he found out that Cryo rushed to finish their game first, leading to Virgin publishing their game as Dune and Westwood’s game as Dune II, despite Sperry protesting against this decision.[7] Louis Castle said in 1998 that the game’s influence on the real-time strategy genre was unplanned, and that the team’s goal was simply “to include all of the excitement and intensity of a war game, but with action-packed gameplay.”[8]Other influences cited by Joseph Bostic (also known as Joe Bostic), the co-designer and lead programmer, and Mike Legg, one of the game’s programmers, include the turn-based strategy games Military Madness (1989) and Civilization (1991), along with Herzog Zwei. According to Bostic, a “benefit over Herzog Zwei is that we had the advantage of a mouse and keyboard. This greatly facilitated precise player control, which enabled the player to give orders to individual units. The mouse, and the direct control it allowed, was critical in making the RTS genre possible.”[9]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_II Dune 2000 is a real-time strategyvideo game, developed by Intelligent Games and released by Westwood Studios in 1998 for Microsoft Windows.[2] It was later ported to the PlayStation in 1999.[3] It is a partial remake of Dune II, which is loosely based on Frank Herbert‘s Dune universe.[4] The story of the game is similar to Dune II, and is continued in Emperor: Battle for Dune. The game uses a similar game engine to Westwood’s Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Although Dune 2000 was originally intended to be a remake of Dune II, the plotline differs completely and makes a reference to the execution of Mentat Amon of House Ordos and the replacement of the Harkonnen Mentat from Dune II, Radnor, by Hayt De Vries. The story is told with full motion video.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_2000 Emperor: Battle for Dune is a Dune video game, released by Westwood Studios on June 12, 2001. It is based in Frank Herbert‘s science fictionDune universe. It is the third real-time strategy game set in the Dune universe, following its predecessors, Dune II and Dune 2000. While Dune II was a totally distinct story to that of Dune, and Dune 2000 was a remake of Dune II, Emperor is a direct sequel to the previous games. In particular, it is a sequel to Dune 2000, carrying on from where it left off, with several of the characters and actors returning. Like Dune 2000 and many of the other Westwood games that came before it, Emperor features cut scenes filmed with live actors.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor:_Battle_for_Dune Die Herkunft der Ordos Anders als die Atreides und die Harkonnen die in Frank Herbert’s Dune Büchern vorkommen, wird das House Ordos nur mit einem Satz in The Dune Encyclopida zur Beschreibung des Wappens.

Dune, Die Ordensburg des Wüstenplaneten (1985)
Bildquelle: Duncan Halleck (artstation.com) Frank Herbert, who carved the futuristic planet “Dune” from his fertile imagination, peopling it with diabolical bureaucrats plagued by paranoia and driven in a search for a life-prolonging chemical, is dead.The science fiction writer, whose six-part galactic epics sold more than 12 million copies around the world, was 65.Herbert, a former journalist whose science fiction novels grew out of a news story he wrote in 1958 about efforts to control shifting sand dunes on the wild Oregon coast, had cancer.He discovered his illness late last year, said Jack Doughty, who had worked with him on newspapers in Seattle and San Francisco, and had been undergoing treatment at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics in Madison when he died Tuesday. He was reported to have died from a blood clot after surgery.Although Herbert’s arid land came to be known as “Dune” to his millions of fans, the author had titled it Arrakis or Rakis and on it he placed a messianic protagonist named Paul Atreides, a mystical ruler of the nomadic Fremens. Atreides, drawn with overtones of an Arabian sheik (he would become Paul Maud’dib or prophet), had progeny who metamorphosed over several volumes into combinations of human beings and mammoth sand worms.In a sequel, Atreides’ son, Leto, aided by melange, a spice (drug) that made both immortality and intergalactic travel possible, ruled thousands of years, while the most recent book in the series–“Chapter House: Dune”–dealt with a conspiratorial sisterhood manipulating the civilizations that came after.Although his work was originally rejected by several publishers, Herbert lived long enough to see “Dune” made into what critics found a mundane but technically interesting motion picture while the royalties from his work established him as a wealthy man in a literary genre populated generally by paupers.The popularity of the politically metaphoric series even generated an encyclopedia, where the characters and plots were annotated and cross-referenced for Dune aficionados.Bookstores commonly referred beginning sci-fi fans to the series for their first brush with things galactic, while the original “Dune” volume became the only work of fiction mentioned in that bible of the 1960s, “The Whole Earth Catalogue.”Herbert credited the successes of “Dune” to timing, for his tales of transforming the face of a barren land touched the heart of the ecology movement. The fact that a drug helped in that transformation 9,000 years in the future endeared it to the Beatniks and the Flower Children of the current era. And although those revolutionaries moved from street corners and into corporations, they continued to buy the “Dune” series, which has never been out of print in either hard cover and paperback since the initial volume was published in 1965.Herbert attended the University of Washington, where he became intrigued by psychology and education. He was a correspondent for the Hearst newspapers in Vietnam, and also was a devotee of Jungian psychology, which, simplistically put, holds that universal symbols common to all cultures transcend any language.Produced 20 BooksHis first novel, “Dragon in the Sea,” was published in 1955 and over the years he produced 20 books ranging from the home programming of computers to a revenge novel about an American biologist whose family is killed by Irish terrorists.But science fiction remained his forte and his favorite.The “Dune” series, he said in a 1984 interview with The Times, was an allegorical effort to point up his basic distrust of modern political leadership.“These charismatic leaders ought to have a sign on them: ‘Warning! May Be Dangerous to Your Health.’ ”But he also wanted to be remembered for the pleasure he provided his readers.Attracted Attention“There’s no way to stop academia from taking up science fiction,” he said in an interview soon after his work began attracting the attention of literary scholars.”. . . You can analyze a thing to death,” he said, “(but) a science fiction writer has to remember that he’s in the entertainment business and you can’t shortchange the reader.”Herbert was married three times and the father of three children.https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-02-13-mn-23213-story.html

Nirvana – Die Zukunft ist ein Spiel (1997)
Shownotes Cyberpunk Review: 8/10 Refrenzen: Das Genre Cyberpunk [Bild: Sony Center Berlin] Benjamin Schott: Das Universum des William Gibsonund seine mediale Rezeption; Kap. 5.3.2. Analyse Nirvana (S. 104 ff.) Ähnliche Filme: Themen/Symbolik Das Design des Filmplakats von NIRVANA und dem gleichnamigen Spiel, um das es geht, ist der Hindu-Göttin Kali nachempfunden, die für Tod und Zerstörung, aber auch für Erneuerung steht. Der Film thematisiert eine Vielzahl von Elementen/Motiven des Cyberpunk-Genres sowie der künstlichen Intelligenz (hier geht’s zur Episode des ReWrite Podcasts zu diesem Thema), welche sich z.B. auch in Shadowrun-Spielen finden: Jimi lebt in einem Luxus-Apartment mit einer K.I.-Haushaltshilfe, mit der er sich auch unterhält wie mit einem richtigen Menschen,Nirvana, das Spiel ist eine VR-Erfahrung, Bildquelle: cyberpunkreview.com die Gesellschaft ist, typisch für in Cyberpunk-Erzählungen, dystopisch:Leben in überbevölkerten Städten, die Gesellschaft ist multi-etnisch/kulturell (arabisches Viertel, chin. Viertel, indisches Viertel); Illegales/Verbrechen sind alltäglich (Drogen-Deals, Fahrzeuge sind gepanzert und mit K.I.-Abwehrmechanismen ausgerüstet gegen Überfälle u./o. Diebstahl, es gibt gefälschte Kredit-Chips, Organ-Raub, etc.),kybernetische Implantate, auch als Zeichen von Armut, sind überall anzutreffen: Joystick hat aus Geldnot seine Augen verkauft und statt ihrer billige Cyber Eyes, die nur Schwarz-Weiß-Bilder liefern; auch andere haben ihre fehlenden Gliedmaßen durch primitive, wartungsbedürftige Teile ersetzt,Joystick ist ein (ehemaliger) Angel, ein Hacker im Cyberspace (im Shadowrun-Spiel als Decker bezeichnet), Bildquelle: cyberpunkreview.com Naima hat einen selbstfahrenden Truck, von diesem aus agiert sie als Hackerin; außerdem hat sie eine Computer-Schnittstelle implantiert, mit der sich Daten und auch Erinnerungen übertragen lassen (vergleichbar mit der Rigger-Spielfigur in Shadowrun),Jimi, Joystick und Naima begehen einen »digitalen Einbruch« in den Server eines Computerspiele-Konzerns (ein typisches Spiel-Szenario in Shadowrun); dabei wird Jimi angegriffen von intelligenten, autonomen Computerprogrammen (»DEVILs« = Destroying Visual Illusions), die ihn durch Verwirrung aufhalten und neutralisieren wollen (Vergleichbar mit der Lobotomie in Total Recall oder der Bedrohung durch die Agenten-Programme in Matrix). Außerdem thematisiert Nirvana existienzielle Fragen: Ist das Leben wirklich oder befinden wir uns in einer Simulation, und falls Letzteres der Fall ist, wie gehen wir damit um?Gibt es ein Leben nach dem leiblichen Tod, kann unser Geist vielleicht weiterexistieren, und sei es gespeichert als virtuelles Bewusstsein (ermöglicht durch sog. Mind Uploading)? Das buddhistische Konzept des Nirvana (früher fälschlich übersetzt als »das Nichts«), als Befreiung/Loslösung, wie Jimi sie am Ende des Films erfährt.

Des Weiteren ist Buchstabenmystik eine Grundlage der Werkzeug-/Maschinenherstellung und die Präformation keine überholte Theorie, sondern Realität in der Reproduktionsmedizin, die damit ebenfalls in Verbindung steht. Wissenschaftler/Ingenieure befassen sich mit der Kombinatorik von Namen (engl. namens), einer Folge von 72 Zeichen, mit denen sich automatische Maschinen (wie ein Programmcode), aber auch menschliches Leben (vergleichbar mit einem genetischen Code) erschaffen lassen. Mit Hilfe von aus 72 Buchstaben bestehenden Namen (im Sinne eines Codes) werden unbelebte Objekte animiert und dienen als Werkzeug – gleich einem Golem. Esther Inglis-Arkell: When scientists belived there was a little man inside every sperm cell Die Suche nach der optimalen Kombination einer definierten Zeichenfolge, mit der praktisch alles möglich sein könnte zu erschaffen, erinnert an Arthur C.

Der Gottkaiser des Wüstenplaneten (1982)
Der Gottkaiser des Wüstenplaneten (Original: God Emperor of Dune) ist der vierte Band aus dem Dune-Zyklus von Frank Herbert, der im Original 1981 veröffentlicht wurde.https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Gottkaiser_des_W%C3%BCstenplaneten Empfehlung: Ultimate Guid to Dune Zitate: Regierung Scratch a liberal and find a closet aristocrat. It’s true! Liberalgovernments always develop into aristocracies The bureaucraciesbetray the true intent of people who form such governments. Rightfrom the first, the little people who formed the governments whichpromised to equalize the social burdens found themselvessuddenly in the hands of bureaucratic aristocracies. Of course, allbureaucracies follow this pattern, but what a hypocrisy to find thiseven under a communized banner Ahhh, well, if patterns teach meanything it’s that patterns are repeated. My oppressions, by andlarge, are no worse than any of the others and, at least. I teach anew lesson.https://archive.org/stream/DuneSeriesPDF/Dune%204%20-%20God%20Emperor%20of%20Dune#page/n263/mode/2up Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly towardaristocratic forms. No government in history has been known toevade this pattern. And as the aristocracy develops, governmenttends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of theruling class – whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs offinancial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy.https://archive.org/stream/DuneSeriesPDF/Dune%203%20-%20Children%20of%20Dune#page/n293/mode/2up Zitate: All soldiers are homosexuals at heart “Oh, yes.

Rape is often murderous and that’s not survival behavior.”https://archive.org/stream/DuneSeriesPDF/Dune%204%20-%20God%20Emperor%20of%20Dune#page/n156/mode/2up Moneo spoke in a soothing tone, but his words shook Idaho. “I will tell you this only once. Homosexuals have been among the best warriors in our history, the berserkers of last resort. They were among our best priests and priestesses. Celibacy was no accident in religions. It is also no accident that adolescents make the best soldiers.”“That’s perversion!”“Quite right. Military commanders have known about the perverted displacement of sex into pain for thousands upon thousands of centuries.”“Is that what the Great Lord Leto’s doing?”Still mild, Moneo said: “Violence requires that you inflict pain and suffer it. How much more manageable a military force driven to this by its deepest urgings.”https://archive.org/stream/DuneSeriesPDF/Dune%204%20-%20God%20Emperor%20of%20Dune#page/n525/mode/2up Schwule Elitekrieger schlugen die Großmacht Sparta https://www.welt.de/geschichte/article160103777/Schwule-Elitekrieger-schlugen-die-Grossmacht-Sparta.htmlhttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heilige_Schar_(Theben)http://kabinett.hadar.uberspace.de/episode92-make-love-and-war-die-heilige-schar-von-theben/
