ficção científica

Calque of English science fiction. Literally, “scientific fiction”.

As forças são entes de razão imaginados para os factos que não sabemos explicar. / A attracção universal não é mais do que uma ficção scientifica: assim que a julgavam Euler e Ampère. / Hoje no mundo physico só se admittem a materia e o movimento: á força, a que se attribuia a gravitação, substituiu-se o vibratorio do ether / Le Sage, de Genebra, e o abbade Leray, deduziram mathematicamente segundo a nova theoria, a mesma lei do movimento, e affirma-se que a fórmula conhecida não é rigorosa mas apenas approximada.

1882 January 7, L.A. e Medeiros, “Newton e a attracção universal”, in Sciencia para Todos, volume 1, number 1, Lisbon, section IV, page 396, column 1:

A história dos três oficiais norte-americanos que chegam de helicóptero e do mesmo modo partem para, não se sabe onde, levando consigo um balão-sonda caído em pleno coração de nosso país, se assemelha a um dêsses contos de ficção científica (pelos quais se procura preparar a mocidade para a guerra) e que no caso se mostra estranhamente realista...

Dalek voice

After the Daleks on the British science-fiction programme Doctor Who, where they spoke with an electronically modulated voice.

Burk replied in his husky Dalek voice without looking at the King but also without any trepidation: 'I was christened Herbert Burk.'

1982, Jakov Lind, Travels to the Enu: Story of a Shipwreck, page 60:

And it was something just to have it to look forward to, to think about instead of thinking about the Dalek voice. I have your notebook.

1984, Eileen Dewhurst, The House that Jack Built, page 40:

[…]eyes and a Dalek voice, and its dreadful polished face keeps swivelling towards me; it is an iron Archie Andrews, but I do not have to make it speak.

"Now press button A," a Dalek voice tells someone who is trying to set the video recorder to tape a TV programme for later viewing.

Sometimes one seems to hear it being read out by a dalek-voice

1994, Buddhist Society (London, England), The Middle Way, volumes 69-70, page 120

You know, this Dalek voice says, "The-bonnet's-open, you-are-low-on-fuel, the-engine-tem-perature-is-high, we're-not-going-to-make-it-on-this-one-Nick, we'll-be-walking-after-this-corner."

1997, Bruno MacDonald, Pink Floyd: through the eyes of...the band, its fans, friends, and foes, page 310:

Many questions were literary concoctions, edited from conversation into rather stiff print (One review referred to our 'Dalek voice'.)

1998, Fred Inglis, Raymond Williams, page 260:

Hawkins was to have a device implanted in his throat to help him speak in a 'strange Dalek voice ', as his wife put it, but the operation gave him another seven years of life.

2004, Graham Lord, Niv: the authorized biography of David Niven, page 240:

Is your name Oscar Lois Anderson?' Her Dalek voice echoed eerily through the black emptiness of the warehouse.

2005, P. D. Shelley, Sugar and Spice, page 171:

'This is she,' said the Dalek voice. 'Good evening,' said Tudor, 'it's Tudor Cornwall, University of Wessex.'

2005, Tim Heald, Death and the D'Urbervilles, page 244:

The Dalek voice isn't just for Dr Who fans as it can be used in place of a vocoder to produce more metallic style voices that are suitable for use in any dance genre.

2008, Rick Snoman, Dance Music Manual: Tools, Toys and Techniques, page 121:

A harsh, throaty, staccato, monotone voice.

dungeon master

He shrugged helplessly. "Whenever we've played before, it was so orderly: people would get their turns one by one, then the dungeon master would say what the results were, then we'd take another turn . . . but this way . . ." He shook his head.

1991, Vivian Vande Velde, User Unfriendly, page 48:

Nicholas and his black-masked companions waited with feet planted apart as the dungeon master fumbled for his key ring.

1998, Nora Roberts, Jill Gregory, R.C. Ryan, Marianne Willman, Once Upon a Castle, page 147:

A few of the boys became really good dungeon masters, and they all learned a lot about percentages and chance and stuff that I just couldn't grasp.

1999, Maureen Cassidy Quackebush, “Real Magic”, in Donna Steichen, editor, Prodigal Daughters: Catholic Women Come Home to the Church, page 82:

They give up a great deal in dispensing with the custom-tailored, high storytelling craft of our new age Dungeon Masters. Nevertheless, they anticipate and lead the way for the automated Dungeon Master, white cell, and automated story generation of the future. Nevertheless, while the creation of the automated Dungeon Master is a great research problem, for those constructing simulations that are not purely research oriented, it's clear that participants learn more when a live instructor or game manager is built into the system.

2006, Nicholas V. Iuppa, Terry Borst, Story and Simulations for Serious Games: Tales from the Trenches, page 118:

Marco is a paladin. He fights for the glory of Christ. Marco has been many paladins since winter break. They are all named Valentine, and the Dungeon Master makes certain they die with the least possible amount of dignity.

Humanity’s first contact with an alien race occurred in 2157.

Spidey-sense

From the superpower of the fictional character Spider-Man (introduced by Marvel Comics in August 1962), nicknamed Spidey, who is able to preternaturally sense danger before it can be perceived by other senses.

Having known the man for most of his life he had a certain Spidey-sense when it came to Tim’s problems.

2003, Matthew F. Winn, chapter 1, in The Sandman, College Station, Tex.: Virtualbookworm.com Publishing, →ISBN, page 5:

Abby, let me ask you this: Is your spidey sense sure Alison was killed by a man? Your other clues were that 'he' was short, wore oversized clothing, and had dark hair. What if Alison was killed by a butch-looking female?

2004 December, Victoria Laurie, Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye (A Psychic Eye Mystery), New York, N.Y.: Signet, New American Library, →ISBN:

But the sports media elite, eating free press box sushi while the rest of us are paying $9.00 for a hot dog, could never understand what set our collective spidey senses tingling.

2005, Dave Zirin, “Stir of Echoes: A New Sporting Resistance?”, in What’s My Name, Fool?: Sports and Resistance in the United States, Chicago, Ill.: Haymarket Books, →ISBN, page 259:

Don't settle for taking the world at face value. Too many people see a logo or a uniform and make bad assumptions. If your Spidey-sense tells you something's wrong, it probably is. If you don't have Spidey-sense, walk loudly and carry a big stick.

2009, “Top Ten Ways to Shut Down Hackers”, in Securing Intellectual Property: Protecting Trade Secrets and Other Information Assets, Burlington, Mass., Oxford, Oxfordshire: Butterworth-Heinemann; Syngress, →ISBN, page 153:

A sense of foreboding, almost like a Spidey-sense, tingled at the back of my neck.

2010, Tate Hallaway [pseudonym; Lyda Morehouse], Honeymoon of the Dead, New York, N.Y.: Berkley Books, →ISBN:

As I turn to the right to get to the Registration Desk, my spidey senses are starting to warn me. There's nothing I can see that is cause for immediate concern, but I know I've got to keep paying attention to those spidey senses. I know they've saved me in the past.

2018 March 10, Brad Bagwell, chapter 1, in The Hunter: Southeast Asia, Ishpeming, Mich.: BookVenture Publishing, →ISBN, page 3:

While we are all enticed by the roller-coaster ride that will come with owning a 21-year-old Ronald Acuna, most of our spidey-senses tell us that a safe player in the first round allows us to survive six months of injuries and ineffectiveness from some of our subsequent picks.

2013, Christopher Hart, Magical Characters, Watson-Guptill Publications, →ISBN, page 17:

Contrary to conventional magical girl anime, in which protagonists happily accept their superpower, shōjo heroines are reluctant to become Magical Girls in Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

The magical girl genre was originally aimed at girls: series like Sailor Moon were first serialized in shōjo manga (girls' comics) magazines and contained many traits common to that genre.

worldbuilding

The purpose of worldbuilding isn't just to do a cool exercise, but to give a sense of place — and all of your thought experiments absolutely have to result in something vivid and alive.

2013 February 8, Charlie Jane Anders, “7 Deadly Sins of Worldbuilding”, in io9, archived from the original on 2016-11-25:

High fantasy of the George RR Martin kind hinges on world-building. When there really is a whole world to build, and not just a historical period or a particular country, world-building does not take a few paragraphs in a short story; it takes chapters.

autochef

Obediently, the autochef prepares each selection. But father knows that the House Brain, while presently silenced, never forgets and will be sure to prescribe an exhausting workout.

1984, Edward Cornish, Habitats tomorrow: homes and communities in an exciting new era:

Dinner was an elegant five-course meal whipped up on the spur of the moment by the autochef, and afterward Shelly's parents wanted her to watch vids with them.

1999, John Gregory Betancourt, Johnny Zed:

Cupboards, washers, cooking equipment; I stopped myself from adding consoles, autochefs and other basics to the list. This was Earth.

Skynet

From the Terminator film series, the first of which, The Terminator, premiered in 1984.

In the first two films, Skynet is a colossal piece of hardware, a single unit which contains an artificial intelligence designed to run the US nuclear weapons system, a doomsday computer that becomes aware and destroys humanity. […] It was only through some very fancy footwork that Terminator 2: Judgment Day managed to make it remotely plausible that Skynet had sent a second machine to a later date. Since Skynet is presumably aware of its own origins, this makes the first film marginally less plausible.

2005, Roz Kaveney, “Creation as Product: The Paradox of Franchises”, in From Alien to the Matrix: Reading Science Fiction Film, London: I.B. Tauris, →ISBN, page 125:

Maybe I watched too many Mazinger shows or read too many Yoko Tsuno BDs as a kid and, surely, I think the best way to end […] humanity would be to migrate SkyNet to Windows Vista, but somehow I thought it would be fun.

2012, Cristina Urdiales, “Foreword”, in Collaborative Assistive Robot for Mobility Enhancement (CARMEN): The Bare Necessities: Assisted Wheelchair Navigation and beyond (Intelligent Systems Reference Library; 27), Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag, →DOI, →ISBN, →ISSN:

With the more convoluted Terminator Salvation, the seductive power of the skin job gives way to a constant maze of false seeming, centered on the relationship between John Connor and the part-cyborg Marcus Wright during the post-apocalyptic human fight against Skynet and its various killing machines.

2016, J. P. Telotte, “The Persistence of the Robot”, in Sean Redmond, Leon Marvell, editors, Endangered Science Fiction Film (AFI Film Series), New York, N.Y., Abingdon, Oxon.: Routledge, →ISBN, page 254:

Calpurnia, the Good Sister, the artificial intelligence created by Zephyr Bain, had achieved consciousness and self-awareness. She knew of her existence. She had crossed the line from the predictable and anticipated inevitable model of machine consciousness. However, it should have stopped there. The Skynet model from the Terminator movies didn't really work, because true consciousness was a by-product of chemistry and physical constitution.

2017 April, Jonathan Maberry, chapter 128, in Dogs of War: A Joe Ledger Novel, New York, N.Y.: St. Martin's Press, →ISBN, page 518:

As a divinity of the earth, Mefitis shows in fact two aspects: cererian, she is goddess of plowing [...], and chthonian

1922, Niles Carpenter, Guild Socialism: An Historical and Critical Analysis, New York, London: D. Appleton and Co., →LCCN, →OCLC, →OL, page 273:

Are the judgments of public opinion inevitably "right" or even relatively wise, or are they merely the resultants of the delusions, prejudices, and inadequacies of the supposedly omnicompetent citizen exercising his "right divine of the ignorant to govern wrong"?

1942 March, Leon Weaver, “How Valid is Public Opinion?”, in Social Forces, volume 20, number 3, →ISSN, →JSTOR, pages 341–344:

Soon after the Bolshevik Revolution, the image of the future omnicompetent, endlessly mobile man was restated by Bukharin and Preobrazhensky in their political primer, The ABC of Communism.
