The law, to my impressionable teenaged brain, tried to bound human behavior with lines and right angles. More points, refine the pixels, get closer and closer to the curve but there will always be those jagged spaces where the right angles gap away from the sinuous line. Lines would describe blocks awkwardly filling in the space around the curve. The image I carried away from this incomplete experience of the law was that of the graphs we drew in math class to follow a curve using only straight lines. This was high school, so I didn’t do much of substance, but I was able to observe both in court and in chambers, and talk to the clerks a lot and the judge sometimes. One summer when I was in high school, I had a fellowship that put me in the offices of a district court judge. 1.6 Daniel Wilson.įIGURE 0.1 Malka Older. 0.2 Ernest Cline in the tricked-out DeLorean he calls “Ecto-88,” at South by Southwest Interactive in Austin, Texas, 2015.

He has more than 15 years of professional experience in news media and public relations and has been a licensed attorney since 1998. “Chip” Stewart, Ph.D., J.D., LL.M., is a professor of Journalism in the Bob Schieffer College of Communication at Texas Christian University. Looking forward, beyond traditional legal research and scholarship to the possible and even very likely future of communication technology, this fascinating work of speculative legal research will give students and scholars of media law, science fiction, and technology much to discuss and debate. Chapters feature specific literary examples to examine how cultural awareness and policy creation are informed by fictional technology, future societies, and legal disputes. Featuring interviews with prominent science fiction authors and legal scholars, and a foreword by Malka Older, this book considers the speculative solutions of science fiction and their implications in law and policy scholarship. Performing what he calls “speculative legal research,” Stewart identifies the kinds of topics we should be talking about relating to speech, privacy, surveillance, and more, and considers the debates that would be likely to arise if such technologies become a reality. In this book, Stewart looks at potential legal challenges presented by plausible communication technologies that may arise 20 or 50 or 100 years from today. Science fiction offers a vast array of possibilities anticipating future communication technologies and their implications on human affairs.
