The Cadet Guard turns boys into men! Except when it turns them into broken wrecks. Regis Hastur will see it happen and be able to do nothing about it.

Meanwhile, a circle of untrained telepaths, most with their own special problems, toys with a matrix far beyond their abilities to control... a matrix that just wants to BURN.

Ciao Mondo

Però, però... ho resistito. (Tantovse non ho capito male Urania ristamperà tutto)

THE PLANET SAVERS (1976)
Acrylic on illustration board

Bought the first #darkover novel at a used bookstore. Getting ready for some nostalgia and good storytelling.

wohinn das mit chip-implantaten führen kann hat mich im neuesten #Darkover -Band "The Laran Gambit" (erschienen Nov.2022) von @DeborahJRoss ehrlich erscheckt.
Dort ist willens- und gedankenkonntrolle in einem Roman beschrieben was angstmachende Paralellen zur Realität hat

und es ist nicht der erste Roman der Reihe die seit 1958 per ScieFantasy Erzählungen Sachen anmahnt/vorausahnenend zum Thema macht

@YourAnonNews
es ist erschreckend wie irrational die Reaktionen sind.
