        "An engine of anarchy"
        Ken MacLeod talks about his rebellious youth, his political paradoxes and the visionary power of cyberpunk.
        By Andrew Leonard K en MacLeod is the greatest living Trotskyist libertarian cyberpunk science-fiction humorist. It's a safe claim to make, because he is undoubtedly the only such creature. The 44-year-old Scot and former computer programmer imagines futures full of both socialist unions and libertarian enclaves, warring with each other and within themselves. You don't often find communist mercenaries working for capitalist insurance companies in science fiction. In Ken MacLeod's future, such political incongruities are a joyous fact of life. Add your regular cyberpunk ingredients machine consciousness, post-human trickery, cool gadgets and lots of good drugs and rock 'n' roll and you have a heady, rollicking brew. MacLeod's political fiction is no pose. He's a former Communist Party member who has won two Prometheus awards for best libertarian science fiction novel. After his American editor told me that MacLeod was a regular "trenchant" contributor to Internet-based discussion groups, I decided to do some cyberspace stalking. Where does he hang out? The bulk of his contributions are in the Usenet newsgroup "rec.arts.sf.written." No surprise there r.a.s.w. is one of the oldest watering holes on the Net quite a few authors congregate there with their fans, critics and peers. But his next most favored spot is "alt.politics.socialism.trotsky" and after that, a little down the list, "talk.politics.libertarianism." One of MacLeod's hobbies, it seems, when he's between books, is plunging into the Internet fray to argue about what Marx and Engels really intended, and to engage in the endless hair-splitting dear to libertarians.

SUMMARY It's after 9/11. After the bombing. After the Iraq war. After 7/7. After the Iran war. After the nukes. After the flu. After the Straits. After Rosyth. In a world just down the road from our own, on-line bloggers vie with old-line political operatives and new-style police to determine just where reality lies.
James Travis is a British patriot and a French spy. On the day the Big One hits, Travis and his daughter must strive to make sense of the nuclear bombing of Scotland and the political repercussions of a series of terrorist attacks. With the information war in full swing, the only truth they have is what they're able to see with their own eyes. They know that everything else isor may bea lie.

27. Stone Canal Review
The Stone Canal Review
http://www.sff.net/people/richard.horton/stonecan.htm
Review Date: 05 January 1998 The Stone Canal , by Ken MacLeod
Legend, UK, 1996
Trade Paperback edition: Legend, 1997, £5.99, ISBN: 0099559013 It's long been true that a lot of the best SF comes from British or UK-based writers. Nowadays, frustratingly for those of us in the US, a lot of very fine SF is being published first in the UK and not until much later in the US. (Iain M. Banks, Greg Egan, and Terry Pratchett are examples of this.) Worse, some fine stuff doesn't seem to get published here at all! (Many of Iain Banks' supposedly non-SF novels and Tom Holt's later comic fantasies, for instance.) Now here comes another new British writer, and a very impressive one on the evidence of this novel, who isn't so far getting published in the US. The Stone Canal is MacLeod's second novel. It is apparently related to his first novel ( The Star Fraction ) and his third novel ( The Cassini Division , forthcoming in 1998), but I am told it can be read without difficulty on its own, and I found it to stand alone just fine. At a first brush, MacLeod reads like "Iain Banks meets Bruce Sterling". The novel's opening, with a somewhat smart-alecky "human- equivalent" robot briefing a confused newly-awakened man, and its structure, alternating chapters on different timelines, definitely echo some of Banks' work. (Note that Banks acknowledges MacLeod's help with Use of Weapons , in terms which suggest to me that he may have helped with that book's unusual structure.) The deeply political concerns, and central character's habit of talking at length about politics, as well as some of the technology and the attitude towards technology, reminded me of Sterling (and also, in a different way, Kim Stanley Robinson. Which is to say, at times this book is a bit talky.) But in the final analysis

        A Trotskyist libertarian cyberpunk?
        By Andrew Leonard T he action has hardly begun in "The Cassini Division" when the characters start making jokes about Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. "Gold is such a useful metal," says one woman at a cocktail party in the 24th century. "You know, Lenin thought we'd use it for urinals." The smart-ass response from warrior woman Ellen May Ngwethu, protector of the Solar System is fast in coming: "Not his only mistake!" Never mind that for readers at the end of the 20th century Lenin's legacy is little more than a vague footnote. Capitalism has won, the game is over, the socialists have long since been relegated to history's dustbin. But here's this crazy Scot, Ken MacLeod, imagining a far future full of socialist mercenaries obsessing about Leon Trotsky, cracking jokes about "smart-card carrying" Union members, and laying out a smorgasbord of possible libertarian reorganizations of society. It's nuts "The Cassini Division" is set four centuries in the future, and people are still arguing over whether property is theft.

The Cassini Division
Ken MacLeod
Orbit 1998 A book review by Danny Yee At the beginning of the 24th century, the inner Solar System is dominated by the socialist Solar Union. Their front-line fighting force, the Cassini Division, defends against viral attacks from post-human Jovians and keeps careful watch on a wormhole. Ellen May Ngwethu, a member of the Division's Central Committee, travels to areas of Earth occupied by "non-cos", low-tech anarchists who still use such antiquated devices as money. Her goal is to find the physicist Malley, whose help is necessary to find a way through the wormhole. And after taking the losing side in a debate over whether to bomb the Jovians or to try to communicate with them, Ellen travels through the wormhole to ultra-capitalist New Mars. After a slower opening, there largely to link back to earlier books set in the same universe, The Cassini Division rattles along at a good pace. It is not particularly compelling as a novel, however, with no characters that really come to life. Ellen has centre-stage throughout but remains something of a cipher, her dominant feature her dedication to "the true knowledge" on which the Solar Union was founded ("self interest") and her hostility to non-humans, both rooted in her personal history. And none of the other characters gets much play at all. Suze, for example, is a sociologist who joins Ellen early on in the story and has as high a profile in it as anyone else, but she could still have been trivially edited out.

31. Ken MacLeod: The Cassini Division - An Infinity Plus Review
Review of The Cassini Division
http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfiction/cassdiv.htm
The Cassini Division by Ken MacLeod
(Orbit, 240 pages, hardback. 7 May 1998.) You could describe The Cassini Division as socialist military post-cyberpunk sf. Or you could simply describe it as a fine novel. I'll settle for the latter. The Cassini Division shares the same future history as MacLeod's first two novels, The Star Fraction and The Stone Canal (the latter is reviewed elsewhere in infinity plus ): a post-capitalist future where a self-centred socialism has been recognised as "the true knowledge" and one of the worst insults, "...spoken with a sneer and a pretend spit..." is banker Perhaps the politics of these novels explains why they haven't found a US publisher as yet. But anyone who judges a book like this in such terms is making a big mistake: MacLeod writes with a sophisticated knowingness of the processes of history (always written by the victors...) that denies any crude categorisation or generalisation. This is a working future entirely different from the stereotypical capitalist-imperialist trope of our genre, and it is all the stronger for that. If only more writers refused to swallow the materialist assumptions of Golden Age sf! The Cassini Division of the novel's title is an elite military force, devoted to the protection of the anarcho-socialist Solar Union. Ellen May Ngwethu is a senior member of the Division (inasmuch as they

32. Ken MacLeod: The Stone Canal - An Infinity Plus Review
Review of The Stone Canal
http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfiction/canal.htm
The Stone Canal by Ken MacLeod
(Legend, 322 pages, paperback. 1997.) "This man's going to be a major writer," says Iain Banks on the cover of Ken MacLeod's The Stone Canal . I wouldn't like to argue with the man at all: on the strength of this book, I'd say MacLeod was well on the way to emulating his friend and mentor. Between The Star Fraction and The Stone Canal , there is a huge jump in MacLeod's ability to write SF. The earlier book was good, but had rough edges, a looseness of control that sometimes confused. You couldn't say that about The Stone Canal , which is beautifully handled, tightly controlled and superbly imagined. The quickest way of getting a taste of what The Stone Canal is like is to imagine a collaboration between Iain Banks the mainstream writer and Iain M Banks the SF writer, each taking a strand in the book. One strand runs from the present day in the UK, the other beginning hundreds of years in the future on New Mars, a human colony half a galaxy away. Each strand revolves around two main characters, Jonathan Wilde and Dave Reid, friends and competitors, political radicals, and both in love with the same woman. The strand that runs from the present day has Wilde and Reid ricocheting off each other as rivals, both for Annette, who becomes Wilde's wife, and politically, as Reid's agenda takes him rightward, while Wilde's takes him leftward into anarchist/libertarian streams of thought. Ironically, each triggers the other, Wilde inundating Reid with a wide variety of political propaganda from all over the world as revenge for propositioning Annette, while Reid sets Wilde up as a political agent with funding enabling his views to be widely propagated.

    The Linux jihad
    Or, what do alien crypto, poststructuralism and virtual private networks all have in common?
    By Andrew Leonard "Old programmers never die," writes Ken Macleod, "they just move over to legacy systems." The line appears in Macleod's rollicking new science fiction novel, "Cosmonaut Keep." In the year 2049 today's under-30 geeks are still hacking code. They're even still wearing the same faded T-shirts they always did, which still sport the logos of the likes of Microsoft, Oracle and that silly penguin. But these code-geek geezers are far from redundant their T-shirts are actually advertisements for their particular set of still very useful skills. After all, you never know when the Communist Party of the U.K. might need you to hack into some ancient system in the U.S. that's still running a 50-year-old copy of FreeBSD. I'm a sucker for programmer jokes, and Macleod, a former hacker himself, makes plenty whenever he pauses to catch a breath in the midst of a plot that includes giant alien squid starship navigators, crypto, castles
