Ahhh, the brilliance of the press
From The Sunday Herald, which is apparently a newspaper in Scotland, though they need to better identify themselves on their individual pages if they're going to be linked in to Google and the global internets.
How myriad galaxies far, far away are producing the geniuses of tomorrow
by genius reporter Jasper Hamill
This is an article about Ken Macleod (insert your own Highlander joke here) and an upcoming Glasgow Science Festival that's going to be discussing science fiction's role in science. But that's not the bit worth quoting!
The whole basis of the internet was famously inspired by William Gibson's book Neuromancer and Isaac Asimov, who recently died, "invented" earth-orbiting satellites in one of his tales.
Reeeeeeeally? 16 years ago is recently, is it?
Interestingly, it is the anniversary of his death today. Maybe Asimov is asserting his influence from beyond the beyond to take credit for other writers' work?
In this case, that other writer would be... GOD.
Though, you never know, Asimov might've been around whispering in God's ear. "You know what would look really fabulous next to that blue planet? A smaller, grey sphere."
