Blindsight by Peter Watts

Blindsight by Peter Watts: A Review

  • Reviews
BY AE

Blindsight was published in 2006. So why are we talking about it now? Because the story of Blindsight (and the story of its author, Peter Watts) is ongoing. Because it represents a fresh voice in science fiction and a bold experiment in publishing. But, most importantly, we’re talking about it because it’s the best damn first contact story of the decade.

AE Interviews: Peter Watts

  • Reviews
BY AE

Peter Watts lives in Toronto and has received press primarily for two things. The first is his bold decision to make the vast majority of his work (including both Blindsight and “The Island”) available for free online under a Creative Commons license. The second is an altercation he was involved in crossing the Canada–United States Border in December 2009. It was in the aftermath of his trial, which resulted in a felony conviction for obstruction, that he gave AE this interview. At the time, “The Island” was a nominee for a Hugo Award, an honour it has since won.
