• Phil Dick’s Dream Library

  
  File 770 — Authority: 136
  Philip K. Dick had a series of dreams about needing to find an unidentified book. Letters of Note has posted a copy of the correspondence where Dick explains that the sought after book is not Heinlein’s I Will Fear No Evil . The first dream on July 4 was much more explicit than any before; I took down my ...

• Read: November 2009

  
  Sharp Words — Authority: 107
  Unseen Academicals , Terry Pratchett. Own copy, re-read for 2009. See my October reading list for my opinion of this. Revelation , C J Sansom. Library book, first read. I don’t think I liked this much as the previous books in the series. It seemed to be straying too much into modern crime territory, with its ...

• Sigaliris and the inescapable logic of Heinlein’s multiverse…

  
  Alexandria — Authority: 489
  I had reviewed my previous couple of posts and was gratified to see that the one on civility had gone to twenty-five comments, even though more than half were on Heinlein. I wasn’t all that surprised by that, since it must be an internet truism that any posting on the internet, given enough time, will work its way ...

• Heinlein on censorship by government

  
  Stars Over Washington — Authority: 132
  “When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, ‘This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,’ the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been ...

• Book of the Week: Take Back Your Government.

  
  Moe Lane — Authority: 655
  This one via Instapundit , and I’ve heard of it in the past: Take Back Your Government , by Bob Heinlein. I’d say “Yes, the Bob Heinlein” – except that nobody would dare write under the same name. It’s a practical treatise on local electoral politics that I suspect a bunch of people would like to ...

• Human Beings Should Be Able To ROCK IT. Specialization is for Insects.

  
  SolidSmack.com — Authority: 127
  Out of the list of awesome things you’ve accomplished, including bathing a kitty, chopping celery and catching a pineapple in your mouth, there’s some other things as a human being, and even more, as a design engineer, you should be able to do. If not, you’re doomed. In response to a guest post here on ...

• Gift List Suggestions - #1 - Sci Fi

  
  Book News and Reviews — Authority: 110
  I’ll admit to not being the most consistent blogger in the world, but with the holidays coming up my mind has turned to books.  They are (usually) a cheap and interesting present that people will appreciate - even if they don’t read them, a book will make them look more learned when displayed on the coffee ...

• Review: Starship Troopers

  
  The Geeky Librarian — Authority: 107
  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: 408
  (*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 ...

• What Do Neil Gaiman, Robert A. Heinlein and EDGE Magazine Have in Common?

  
  Nine Over Ten 9/10 — Authority: 475
  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: 110
  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: 486
  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 ...

  “Secrecy is the keystone to all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy and censorship.

  Just Blowing Smoke... — Authority: 423
  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: 137
  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 ...
