hello, My question is : is there any way to publish on G+ from another website? I use my Tumblr to publish on facebook and twitter, how can i do it with G+ ? thanks.
Belive it or not, but a friend of mine work in the department who made the choices. This is the first she told me about. She said it was brilliant and hilarious. don't be surprised if it get a award
Need advice from new-york people:
Hello, i'm from Paris, France. A friend of mine will come in New-York in a few weeks. I will ask her to bring me back some sci-fi books. Could you give me one or two good sci-fi book shop adresses, second hand books if possible?
If you ever come to Paris, and like to read in french, i can give you good places to buy books, too !
Thanks a lot to everyone at io9 :D

i know it's not the ideea of discussing things but it's really what i feel: every book is unfilmable. That's all. And every movie adaptation is a insult to the writer work and even more to our intelligence : as a reader, are we too much stupid to create our own images in our mind when we read? so please, Hollywood, stop insulting us and do your f%@&ing job: taking risks and spending money in originals ideas of new talented people!
@Grey_Area:
Hello, i have read Andreas Eschbach "Carpet Maker", i recommand it, it's strange ant lots of poetry.
And to answer to Grey_area, i can give you a few name in french contemporary sf wich are really great:
- Stephane Beauverger : "Chromozone - Les Noctivores - La cité Nymphale". A 3 part story, 3 big kick in the ass. This guy invented a strange an scary world where all informatic system are down after a big virus, and anre replaced by a technology using pheromons...
- Catherine Dufour : "Le gout de l'immortalité". Scary story too. Kind of a long letter writen by an old and turned sour women, who tell his own story in a world dying of pollutions and deases...
- Françis Mizio : "Domo dingo". Absolutly unknown, even here in France, and it's a shame, because this guy is so, so, so, funny... a hybrid of Douglas Adams and Fredric Brown. In this book, the main caracter goes on crusade against his toaster's manufacturing, because he discover that the toaster is spying him...
- Stefan Wul: "Niourk". Kinf of classic now (1957) and probably the only one wich you can find in english, i guess... A story of a kid in a world with no more seas, who lives in a primitiv tribe, and have to go to a place called Niourk, not very far from a river called Huds...
Pornography displayed in gas stations, private ownership of guns outlawed... homosexuality legalized, all that sounds good to me i vote for it! and most, most important of all: seeing the Bible be classified as hate speech, that would be the most beautiful of all dreams i ever made...
So, thanks to you, american people who vote for Obama, you did vote for all of us in the foreign contrys.
About eco-dystopia: if you know french enough to read, or if it ever exist a translation, i higly recommand "Le Gout de l'Immortalité" by french author Catherine Dufour. It's dark beyond darkness, great great writing, simply perfect.
Does a good cover art means that the book is good? I can tell that one of my all time favorite book is "the hitchicker's guide to the galaxie" by Douglas Adams, and it always had some of the uglyest cover art i've seen.
I like the old one for "Martians Go Home" by Frederic Brown.
does anyone knows Niea_7 ? i can imagine it as a very good movie, with absurd humour...
And the same guy, Yoshitoshi Abe made another strory who could be a great, great movie: Serial Experiments Lain
