• Review: Starship Troopers

  
  The Geeky Librarian — Authority: 111
  Starship Troopers in one of the benchmarks of the science fiction cannon, as well as just about the most troubling book in it.  This is the book that gave birth to proper military s.f; with everything from Aliens to Halo borrowing themes and idea from it.  It’s the first and possibly the best book about an ...

• Astounding Years 30–37 BC:* Clayton Magazines

  
  The Way the Future Blogs — Authority: 451
  (*Before Campbell)Astounding/Analog had two (or three) editors before John W. Campbell, Jr., came along with his magnolious “Golden Age” of people like Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein and all. However, none of those original editors were the ones that made the magazine great. That task was left for John ...

  Nine Over Ten 9/10 — Authority: 133
  Last month, an entire bunch of my closest friends got together and gave me a surprise birthday party. Among the presents I received were MPH bookstore vouchers totaled  a hundred ringgit from my old college gang. I love books, and magazines, so needless to say I put the vouchers to good use. With it, I bought a ...

• Rubbing sticks together to make math on Mars.

  
  Moving to Freedom — Authority: 103
  I think Robert Heinleins Red Planet was the first "grown up" science fiction book I read, in 1982. It was published in 1949, but seemed modern enough to my eleven-year-old self. (With one notable exception, which prompts this post.) Wikipedia says: "The first Golden Age of Science Fiction -- often recognized ...

• In defense of fun

  
  Student Life — Authority: 603
  Recently, I have been finding friends of mine complaining to me that they are not enjoying things that they do. This boggles my mind. Why would you ever do anything that is not fun? That is what I ask them. The answers are invariably some form of either “I don’t know” or “because I have to.” Neither of ...

• Quote of the Day, Secrecy Edition

  
  Heretical Ideas Blog — Authority: 138
  “Secrecy is the keystone to all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy and censorship. When any government or church for that matter, undertakes to say to it’s subjects, ‘This you may not read, this you must not know,’ the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.” – Robert Heinlein

  Just Blowing Smoke... — Authority: 129
  As we all gather our thoughts before entering the polling place (except you wise few who voted early), I thought that I would share with you a bit of appropriate wisdom from one of my favorite authors, Robert Heinlein. If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no ...

• The Voice That Killed Sci Fi As We Knew It

  
  Talk Stories — Authority: 151
  Don’t get me wrong. Science fiction isn’t dead. It’s alive and well, and Michael Bay, J.J. Abrams, and many others not quite in their stratosphere are entertaining hundreds of thousands, and often, hundreds of millions worldwide. Written science fiction as was practiced by, say, Robert A. Heinlein? So ...

  Just Blowing Smoke... — Authority: 129
  I had recently been given a stern medical recommendation to abandon some of the heavy reading that I have been doing ("American Progressivism" and "The 5000 Year Leap") in favor of a lighter literary burden. Having read all of the rest of my stack at home, I decided to return to an old friend, "Stranger In A ...

• Insulting the Victim?

  
  Net News Publisher — Authority: 156
  Ina Fried has continued to track the Sidekick data-loss story for CNET News. However, as I tried to indicate on Sunday , this is a case where we need to go beyond the “facts of the story,” so to speak, and interpret those facts in an effort to derive useful lessons-learned. Such interpretation is often ...

• How the Soviet Menace was over-hyped – and what we can learn from this

  
  Fabius Maximus — Authority: 547
  Histories of the CIA document its poor performance as an intelligence agency (e.g., Tim Weiner’s 2007 book Legacy of Ashes).  While incompetence certainly plays a role in degrading its performance, obedience to its political superiors probably plays a far more informant role.  Such as the relentless overhyping of ...
