People believe that it is the quality of a wine that sells the wine. They forget that that is something that sales people and marketers convinced them was true. #wine
Hi Friends. I have a favor to ask. My sister and her husband can't have children and are trying #adoption. Did you know this costs around $40,000?!?

Another Review from one of my favorite SF anthology lines. Great work from Michael Shea and Ted Reynolds. Good stories from James Tiptree Jr, CJ Cherryh, John Varley, and more. www.shortsf.com/reviews/1982... #sciencefiction #scifi #bookreview
The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. It is successful because of how it uses language, translation, and reader privilege to put attention on how we turn memory, mysticism, and experience into story, history, and faith.
Window Boy is slowly terrifying with all the real horror happening just beyond your vision. Uncertain Sons gives hints of Gene Wolfean literary world building.
The joy of Thermo’s 2nd Law. 👴🏻
It was a great collection. Can’t wait to read more from you as your career grows

Review: Orbit 2 edited by Damon Knight. The anthology that launched Gene Wolfe to greatness but doesn’t have much more going for it #sciencefiction #bookreview

Looking at these stories together, we find a vintage of Asimov’s dealing with Grief.
Death benefits paid to the left behind in interstellar war. Dying alone with only an A.I. as a companion. Haunting the NASA building where you used to work.

“Forty years ago and more, science-fiction writers seemed to be saying “Man will reach the moon" ... What they really were saying, however, was much more significant: “Man can reach the moon if he wants to badly enough.” #sciencefiction #bookreview www.shortsf.com/reviews/worl...
This would be absolutely horrible for the future of science fiction short stories, if true.
Is this based on the “Food Detectives” book series ?
