Abstract

The Remakable Science Fiction of Cordwainer Smith

Have you met C'Mell, the cat girlygirl who helped Rod McBan achieve his
heart's desires?

Or Rod himself, the Norstrilian boy who inadvertently bought Old Earth
one night?

Or Martel, the scanner who was cranched at a crucial moment?

No? Then you are one of the lucky ones. You can look forward to meeting
the strange mind of Cordwainer Smith.

Yes? Then extend your acquaintance here... Wherever on Earth you come
from... and Cordwainer Smith fans come from every continent
including Antarctica.... you will find much to interest you on this
website.

When we emerge from one of Smith's science fiction stories, it is with
a sense of enrichment. Life seems sometimes more tragic, sometimes more
luminous...

But don't take my word for it... I am his daughter, and not exactly
objective. (That does not mean I am all-adoring. Nothing that relates
to Cordwainer Smith is simple, and growing up under the influence of
that mind was not a simple matter.)

blog. You can also contribute your own Cordwainer Smith thoughts there,
via comments.

His Effect on Other Science Fiction Authors

Cordwainer Smith has had a tremendous effect on the field of science
fiction.

Ursula LeGuin spoke of Smith's "obstinate idealism."

James Patrick Kelly said in one of his award-winning stories:

"I was reading Galaxy. I even remember the story: 'The Ballad of Lost
C'Mell' by Cordwainer Smith. The squirrels must have been chittering
for some time, but I was too engrossed by Lord Jestocost's problems to
notice."

Robert Silverberg and many others have credited Smith with pointing the
way to new areas for science fiction to explore. Many writers have
tried to imitate his style, not an easy thing to copy well.

He died in 1966, just as his fame was beginning to blossom. And that
was when it became known that Cordwainer Smith was a pseudonym for Paul
Myron Anthony Linebarger, a scholar, a diplomat, a spy, a military man,
a science fiction author, and more.

"Better than any writer we've yet seen, Smith represents the sense of
awe and wonder that is the heart of science fiction."
--Scott Edelman

"Magnificently weird"
--John Clute

What Readers Say about Cordwainer Smith

This website is a result of readers' comments. Late one night in the
year 2000, I was at amazon, and I wondered what reaction my father
was getting there. So I began reading the readers' reviews, and there
were so many people who loved the stories!
* Someone had cried upon learning that Cordwainer Smith had died and
thus there would be no more stories.
* Someone else had learned to read in order to read Smith's science
fiction stories.

The next morning I sat down and outlined this site.

Now, you can read more readers' comments. If you'd like to add your own
to this site, you can do it via the blog.

Find other ZORGIUM pages using your favorite search engine:

Enter your search keyword(s) and the keyword "zorgium" into the search input field of http://bing.com, http://yahoo.com or http://google.com.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
