Much discussion on Mr. Bester's masterpiece The Stars My Destination.
Sci-fi screen name checking in....
I have loved Science Fiction since I first found it in the library. The first one that I can actually remember the plot line of was a juvenile story about a kid raising a triceratops born from a chicken’s egg. Shortly afterwards I encountered Robert Heinlein’s (RAH) juveniles as well as some of his short stories in “Boy’s Life” and was lost from then on. Branched out to Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke, Dickson, and so on down the alphabet but have always had a deep spot for RAH! Currently, I like a lot of David Weber, Eric Flint and John Ringo, probably because they load their stories with a lot of history, the other addiction of mine. Sad to think that we lost both Ray Bradbury and Fred Pohl last year, loved a lot of their writing!
SF Day should be July 7, IMO.
Science Fiction? You mean like Global Warming?
I dumped my subscription to “The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction” after more than four decades. It seems the magazine took a hard left turn, for example spewing “watermelon enviro” and religion bashing.
The clincher is the new lame-brain movie reviewer using the words “Senator Joe McCarthy’s HUAC” in his column. Drooling moron actually wrote that with a straight face (pen), not as a joke.
Cultural rot? Maybe; maybe not — but I’m going back to the classics.
National Science Fiction Day.
Is this some sort of Obama Green Energy awareness initiative?
Ping.
Sci-fi day bump
Here’s something I found a while ago, a list from a 1968 Galaxy mag of sci-fi authors for and against the Vietnam war. You might have to zoom to read it properly. I would take the pro authors over the antis on this one as far as which side I would want to read, if I had to choose. Asimov opposed involvement.

Remember the actors are all volunteers. They do have excellent animation (space ships scenes, etc), costumes are top notch, props and sets are perfect matches for the original series.
