On This Day I Want To Tell

I Was Thinking Of Writing A Little Foreword Saying That History Is, After All, Based On People's Recollections, Which Change With Time.

It's Clear That Science And Science Fiction Have Overlapping Populations.

They Were Two Lovely Choices. One Of Them Meant Giving Up Every Chance Of A Decent Life Forever...and The Other One Scared Me Out Of My Mind.

I'm Doing A Book, 'chasing Science,' About The Pleasures Of Science As A Spectator Sport.

The Future Depicted In A Good Sf Story Ought To Be In Fact Possible, Or At Least Plausible. That Means That The Writer Should Be Able To Convince The Reader (and Himself) That The Wonders He Is Describing Really Can Come True... And That Gets Tricky When You Take A Good, Hard Look At The World Around You.
