In a review at scifi.com, Paul Witcover described Lady of Mazes this way:. Far in the future, the vast ringworld of Teven Coronal—located in the Lethe Nebula, an enigmatic region of space beyond Jupiter—is home to millions of post-humans who occupy a spectrum of overlapping but distinct realities called manifolds.

Stealing Worlds is what cyberpunk might be if it were set right now, in a world of down-at-heel strip malls, fast food outlets, and only so-so AI.

In a review at scifi.com, Paul Witcover described Lady of Mazes this way:. Far in the future, the vast ringworld of Teven Coronal—located in the Lethe Nebula, an enigmatic region of space beyond Jupiter—is home to millions of post-humans who occupy a spectrum of overlapping but distinct realities called manifolds. Each manifold is a culture unto itself, with a unique history, mythology and SUN OF SUNS: BOOK I OF VIRGA The Story . I put it this way in an interview with Paul Raven: “Sun of Suns is pure unabashed fun.Imagine sky above, sky below, infinite blue to all sides peppered with cloud, randomly floating spheres of water and chunks of soil - and you flying free of gravity.

SCIENCE FICTION FOR THE CRYPTO AGE I've leveraged what I learned as a futurist to write Stealing Worlds, a near-future "pre-apocalyptic" adventure novel. It'll be published on June 18, 2019, but you can pre-order it already. Also available in presentation mode…STEALING WORLDS
You didn't know you wanted a near-future cyberpunk thriller about economic revolutionaries, surveillance capitalism, augmented-reality live-action role-playing, and burglary? But of course you do! That's what _Stealing Worlds_ delivers. It's less like my previous far-future epics, and instead owes a lot to short stories like "To Hie from Far Cilenia" and "Deodand." And while it's not out yet, you can already pre-order if you head on over to Amazon.
A NEW WEBSITE FOR MY FORESIGHT WORK Visit NarrativeFutures.com to learn about recent and upcoming speaking and consulting engagements. This site is where I coordinate visits and talks; you'll see I've been to some interesting conferences and events lately!WHITE HOUSE 2014
The Hieroglyph anthology certainly had legs. As well as garnering excellent reviews, it brought a number of authors and the editors to Obama's WHITE HOUSE to talk to the Office of Science and Technology Policy about how to engage a new generation of young people to go into the science and engineering professions. We also discussed other issues, particularly the future of governance and how to manage thorny issues such as climate change. My own story in the anthology, "Degrees of Freedom," is all about governance, so Iwas in my element.
This is where science fiction and strategic foresight meet for me--in events like this one. Oddly enough, this is not the first time I've participated in such a hybrid event; much of my history with foresight for the Canadian government and army has involved using my talents as an SF writer to both filter and refine ideas that come from foresight. I did my Masters thesis on how to employ storytelling methods to communicate foresight findings. This visit to Washington was the capstone to a season of travels and adventures that took me to San Jose in August (for the Cognitive Computing forum), to UCLA in September (for the Digital Cash conference), and most recently to Phoenix for the World Bank's Evoke project. I'm now happily settling in at home to work on a new novel, but hopefully this is just a hiatus and I can get out to more speakinggigs soon.
RECENT FUTURES-RELATED PROJECTS * Did game/story design in Phoenix, AZ for the 2014 version of the WORLD BANK's Evoke project, October 22-24, 2014. Evoke is a game designed to educate and empower the world's youth to improve their own lives and those of theircommunities.
* Hieroglyph book launch in Washington, DC, and invitation to ADDRESS THE WHITE HOUSE OFFICE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY, October 2,2014.
* Invited speaker at the FUTURE OF DIGITAL CASH workshop in Los Angeles, August 27-28, 2014. Bitcoin and beyond--we talked about everything from the history of the receipt to currencies post-bitcoin. Since the event was not recorded, people felt willing to say what they really thought, which made for an eye-opening series ofpresentations.
* Invited speaker, COGNITIVE COMPUTING FORUM, San Jose CA, August 21-22, 2014. Complete videos of the talks, including mine, are available from the site for a fee. I discussed the idea that our civilization is creating a kind of "artificial unconscious" for ourselves using information technology. * I was interviewed by Nikola Danaylov for his SINGULARITY 1ON1, on May 10, 2012. He caught me at home, where I was relaxed and slouched in an armchair, and talked about futurism, science fiction, and modernmythologies.
--Starting at around 18:00, we talk about the coherence of the notion of the TECHNOLOGICAL SINGULARITY and what I call "trans-doggism" as opposed to transhumanism, at 53:00; --At 28:00, we discuss my idea of THE REWILDING, a counter to theSingularity;
--And at 46:00, we talk about THE FUTURE OF GOVERNANCE and how technology affects how we govern ourselves. * Speaker and workshop facilitator at DRDC FIAC WORKSHOP, March 7, 2012, Cornwall Ontario. DEFENSE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CANADA has called on me to present a number of times. * Speaker and panelist at the 2011 APPLIED BRILLIANCE conference and workshop, held Jackson Hole, Wyoming, October 11-14, 2011. I spoke about a new branch of philosophy, sometimes called "object oriented" philosophy or speculative realism, that has important things to say at this moment in history. * Keynote speaker at _BRINGING TOGETHER COMMUNITIES_, an interdisciplinary studies conference at the University of Windsor,February 4, 2011.
* Keynote speaker at DRDC Managers' workshop, April 6-7, 2010. * Keynote speaker at O'Reilly Publishing's Open Source Conference 2009 , held in San Jose, California, July 24, 2009. The subject: "rewilding" the human species. * Panelist and facilitator at DEFENSE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CANADA'S (DRDC)Ideas Factory workshop, June 16, 2010. * Participant in a televised round-table discussion on the future of space development on TV Ontario's popular show _The Agenda_. The episode was taped at thePERIMETER INSTITUTE on October 19, 2009. You can watch it here: * I was one of 200 invited guests at _SCIENCE FOO CAMP 2009_, held at GOOGLE HEADQUARTERS in Sunnyvale, CA, July 9-12, 2009. Other invited guests included George Dyson, Louise Leakey, Lee Smolin, Elon Musk and Peter Diamandis. I gave a seminar on "An alternative to the technological singularity" which was well-received.DOCUMENT ACTIONS

To contact me, email KARL at KSCHROEDER dot COM * Example: The Future of Governance I use Science Fiction to communicate the results of actual futures studies. Some of my recent research relates to how we'll govern ourselves in the future. I've worked with a few clients on this and published some results. Here are two examples--and you can read the first for free: The Canadian army commissioned me to write _Crisis in Urlia_, a fictionalized study of the future of military command-and-control. You can download a PDF of the book here:CRISIS IN URLIA
For the "optimistic Science Fiction" anthology _Hieroglyph_, I wrote "Degrees of Freedom," set in Haida Gwaii. "Degrees of Freedom" is about an attempt to develop new governing systems by Canadian FirstNations people.
I'm continuing to research this exciting area and would be happy toshare my findings.
