Frases de Greg Bear

Greg Bear , es un escritor de ciencia ficción. Actualmente vive en el estado de Washington con su familia, donde se dedica profesionalmente a la escritura. Es yerno de otro famoso autor de ciencia ficción, Poul Anderson.

Bear ha sido un destacado autor de los que ha marcado el estilo en la década de los 80. Es conocido por ser una de las "tres B" de la ciencia ficción . Su obra ha acaparado numerosos premios, como el premio Nébula en 1994 por Marte se mueve y en el año 2000 por La radio de Darwin, y tanto el Hugo como el Nébula por Música en la sangre, en 1984.

Las novelas de Bear suelen tener un desarrollo muy similar: tres sucesos aparentemente desconectados ocurren en lugares distantes del mundo y son la señal de alarma de un proceso que generalmente acaba cambiando a la humanidad, destruyéndola, o ambas cosas; y lo hace siempre desde una perspectiva de ciencia ficción dura, tratando de usar argumentos científicos fundamentados y detallados como base principal de las tramas.

Es además especialista en bioquímica-ficción y muchas de sus novelas contienen avanzados y rigurosos planteamientos hipotéticos sobre genética.

Además de las mencionadas, otras obras suyas de relevancia que se podrían destacar son: Reina de los ángeles , Alt 47 , Fundación y caos , Vitales , y Los niños de Darwin . Wikipedia

Greg Bear Frases y Citas

“Antes podían surgir una o dos o tres personas con una idea, o un invento brillante, que causaban conmoción. Darwin y Wallace. Einstein. Ahora hay cien genios por cada desafío, mil personas compitiendo para derribar los muros del castillo. Si eso sucede en el campo científico, que se encuentra en la estratósfera, ¿Cómo será abajo en las trincheras? Una desagradable e interminable competición. Demasiadas cosas por aprender. Demasiado ancho de banda abarrotando los canales de comunicación. No podemos escuchar lo suficientemente rápido. Tenemos que andar de puntillas continuamente.”

“The hardest theme in science fiction is that of the alien. The simplest solution of all is in fact quite profound—that the real difficulty lies not in understanding what is alien, but in understanding what is self. We are all aliens to each other, all different and divided. We are even aliens to ourselves at different stages of our lives. Do any of us remember precisely what it was like to be a baby?”

“He may not have had time, but even allowing him the time, Vergil simply did not think such things through. Brilliant in the creation, slovenly in the consideration of consequences.
But wasn’t that true of every creator?
Didn’t anyone who changed things ultimately lead some people—perhaps many people—to death, grief, torment?”
