The article gives a short introduction to the new field of “economic science fictions” and discusses an economic approach to science fiction focusing on the class aspect of utopian and anti-utopian science fiction. By tracing a common interest in the new regimes of accumulation and exploitation of cognitive labor between Cognitive Capitalism and Dave Eggers’ anti-utopian novel The Circle, the article highlights the dangerous dynamic between class-specific utopian desire and new forms of technologically driven economic exploitation.

The theory of business ecosystems is becoming more and more popular in modern economic science, there is more and more applied research of business ecosystems in individual industries and territories. At the same time, there is no unified classification of business ecosystems in modern economic science. The works of Russian and foreign scientists mention digital ecosystems, technological ecosystems, communication ecosystems, but they are all considered in the sectoral and / or cross-sectoral context, without any connection with a specific territory. Thus, despite the initially ecological primary source of the concept of "ecosystem", the territorial aspect of business ecosystems is insufficiently studied, in our opinion. The article provides a classification of business ecosystems of the Russian border with China on the basis of a systemic economic approach for further study, forecasting and management of socio-economic ecosystems of business in border areas.

Readers have awarded Lois McMaster Bujold four Hugo Awards for Best Novel, a number matched only by Robert Heinlein. Her Vorkosigan series redefined space opera with its emotional depth and explorations of themes such as bias against the disabled, economic exploitation, and the role of women in society. This book traces Bujold's career, showing how Bujold emerged from fanzine culture to win devoted male and female readers despite working in genres—military science fiction, space opera—perceived as solely by and for males. Devoted to old-school ideas such as faith in humanity and the desire to probe and do good in the universe, Bujold simultaneously subverted genre conventions and experimented with forms that led her in bold creative directions. As the book shows, her iconic hero Miles Vorkosigan—unimposing, physically impaired, self-conscious to a fault—embodied Bujold's thematic concerns. The sheer humanity of her characters, meanwhile, gained her a legion of fans eager to provide her with feedback, expand her vision through fan fiction, and follow her into fantasy. The first full-length study of one of the most popular contemporary writers of science fiction and fantasy, will both enlighten fans and set the foundations for further study of her works.
