Ignis (1883) is about the industrial exploitation of Earth's
central fire by a multinational cartel. It also contains fanciful
digressions into biological engineering, Utopian city planning, the
possibility of brain control by means of electrical stimulation and
the potential exhaustion of fossil fuels. Proving again that
science fiction writers are harbingers of the future, it features
the first depiction of the revolt of machines-steam-powered
non-humanoid robots-that have become intelligent, all penned at a
time before the automobile was even invented Brian Stableford has
been a professional writer since 1965. He has published more than
60 science fiction and fantasy novels, as well as several
authoritative non-fiction books.
