Reading E-Books

1. I discovered to my chagrin is very exhausting for me. This is surprising, as I finished Heinlein on my laptop, back in 2006. 2. I was reading collection of short stories by Arthur C Clarke . The collection caught me by suprise because of its dark and mostly apocalyptic tones. My repertoire of Clarke is pretty limited (just 2001: A Space Odyssey and its sequels ), but I thought he was the more optimistic...

Do You Believe in Magic?

Why Should Anyone Care About Space Politics?

Cry havoc , The Space Review "Did you know that NASA is a fascist organization? How about the Constellation program--did you realize that it was fascist too? Or the Apollo program? What about the philosophical/spiritual observation that Arthur C. Clarke defined as "the Overview Effect" whereby from space, Earth's political borders and squabbles disappear?

Sci-fi writers and their toys.

Arthur C. Clarke passed away a few months ago , but that's no reason new interviews with him can't keep popping up. SciFi.com posted one yesterday that was conducted in various installments eight or nine years ago, in which Clarke talks a fair bit about the people he has known and counted among his friends and influences. My favorite anecdote is this one: Walter Cronkite is a man I've always admired,...
