and the engineer is not just a difference in scale and style. There's also a difference in the movementof the thinking. The bricoleur starts with a local problem, then looks around among existingmaterials for things to fix it with, moving on to more complex solutions only when thesimplest ones are clearly not working as well as they should. The engineerdoesn't really feelshe's started to work, however, until she's got an overarching principle to apply to the solutionof the problem, which she then implements as carefully and accurately as possible by precisetechnical means, moving in to take care of finer and finer problematic detailsuntil, hopefully,principle wholly absorbs problem. As each moves towards her or his separate solution, thebricoleur and the engineer are both looking, here, forward, there, backward. There's always someconceptual movement in both directions with each. But the fundamental movements are, overall,different. And that difference in movement is very much the difference I've noted between theway the SF writer works and the way the utopianist works. Someone once said: "A politics thatdoesn't address itself to your particular problems and my particular problems is just not apolitics for you and me." And I think this is not a bad place to start a critique of the politicalaspect of the situation around us. But it's in Junk City that bricoleurs flourish at their happiestand most efficientthough it's often the engineers who provide the junk the gomi no sensei workswith.
