#varley — Public Fediverse posts

Just read that John Varley, who I've long considered my favourite sci-fi author, died a few days ago. His early output - the Gaea trilogy and early Eight Worlds stuff, up to and including Steel Beach (1992) - was incredible. He wrote slowly after that, but it was all quite good.

If you have never read Varley, give him a shot.

In case you missed it earlier, here's my thoughts on the passing of John Varley - https://skribeworks.com/goodbye-john-varley-i-will-miss-you/

"#Statism" is basically a measurement of how much #control you think a #government should have over its #people. If you love #rules and #regulations and forcing others to do certain things or not do certain things, you fall to the high end of this scale (rightward).

If you're a John #Varley-style #Heinleiner, and think everyone should be independent and only engage in entirely voluntary transactions, you fall to the low, leftward end of that scale.
