Fantapolemiche del weekend
Non sono più una ragazza, e lo dico con quella serenità che arriva solo dopo molti anni di giornalismo, parecchi scaffali riempiti e un numero imprecisato di entusiasmi sopravvissuti alla prova del tempo. Da bambina mio padre mi metteva in mano Asimov, Heinlein e Vance con la stessa naturalezza con cui altri, più prudenti, consegnano le fiabe. È stata una fortuna enorme. Alla fantascienza devo la curiosità, il vizio di guardare di lato, l’abitudine a diffidare delle superfici lisce e […]https://leargenteetesteduovo.com/2026/06/30/fantapolemiche-del-weekend/

#SciFi Clarke suggested we need 3 communication satellites. #GEO
#MurrayLeinster wrote "Space station" suggesting one would be launched in #LEO
#StanleyKubrick showed us one big wheel in #2001#Computronium is a #trope A solar system becoming concentric shells and rejecting waste heat as infrared.
#KenMacleod posited a green tinge spreading from a point as stars were surrounded by orbiting habitats, bubbles with airtrees.
I think Bezos may be premature and excessive.

The #InternetArchive has a great collection you can download!
I highly recommend A Logic Named Joe by #MurrayLeinster, one of the great unsung #SF writers.

9/20/23 Open 6-9p. No open food/drink containers, please.
This book is a beater but still a treasure. That's the way it goes, sometimes. I may keep it. Sci-fi by authors you might not expect, plus known entities of the genre and then some!

For #InternationalTalkLikeAPirateDay , one of my fave pirate images: the cover for Murray Leinster's space pirate tale in Astounding Science Fiction, artwork by Kelly Freas. I especially love the slide-rule in his mouth instead of a knife!

#MurrayLeinsterUn Logico chiamato Joe (A Logic Called Joe), 1946
Racconto scaricabile (vedi sotto).
Nel *1946* l'autore immagina un futuro dove in ogni casa c'è una periferica "intelligente" che risponde pescando le informazioni nella base dati generale, ed è soggetta ad alcune restrizioni. Quando saltano le restrizioni...
Vi ricorda qualcosa? 😉 -
The Invaders is a 1953 scifi novella by Murray Leinster. It's an alien invasion story. The aliens look just like us. A cliched idea but with some nice twists and some real ambiguity concerning the motivations of the aliens. It's pretty good.

I'm a sci-fi fan but my tastes are strictly old school. I don't read anything written since the 90s. And not much written since the 60s, apart from some of the cyberpunk writers.
One of the first sci-fi novels I read was Arthur C. Clarke's The City and the Stars and I still regard it as one of the half dozen best sci-fi novels of all time.
