Unintended Consequences is a fine book.. I still use some of the quotes from the book.. For example, whenever I see Nasty Nancy Pelosi, I’ll say, “It’s time to feed the hogs”. :)

Can’t remember the exact words but something to the effect of “the first one costs everything, everything after that is free”
Words worth memorizing

Never heard of him or his book. What shocked me was the title. I wrote a science fiction novel in early 2000s with the exact same title. Still unpublished and a work in progress with hopes to publish in next year or two.

RIP... I have a copy of UC on the book shelf behind me right now. It’s kinda worn and dog-eared at this point.
And yes, required reading.

You can find copies still being sold. They’re just expensive as all get out. $95 on Amazon for a paperback. $200 for hardcover.
Out of print, but apparently still in demand.
This book is largely why I got in to reloading my own ammo...

Link to a pdf of his novel. He wanted it out there, so no copyright violation: https://billstclair.com/Unintended-Consequences.pdf
Worth repeating. I think he OK'd this when the book was out of print, and pretty much unobtainable. I ended up buying 2 copies (one signed) at https://stlccw.com/product-category/books, even though I had the PDF, and had eventually converted that into an EPUB so it worked better on my ereader.
The Fact that he was OK with having the book distributed via the PDF shows that he was a genuinely stand up guy. I'm sorry he has passed on. Really am looking forward to his sequel.

Out of print, but apparently still in demand. It was reprinted as a trade paperback.$44 here.... If you want it I suspect you might want to act quickly. :-)

I have a mostly pristine, signed (extremely rare) First Edition. As I recall, there were only a few hundred.
It might be time to sell it...
