Oh, I thought you were handing out optimism… I was excited for a moment there.
Nah, soliciting it. :)
You can borrow some, if I can find my extra. I think it’s under my beanbag chair…
Speaking of those beanbag chairs, you said you were going to write a review of them…
Yeah, and kept putting it off. (I have 3 or 4 books to review, too.) Okay, this afternoon, beanbags… after I check the timings on a subtitle file for tonight’s class.
Okay, okay, tomorrow…
(The subtitle file took more work than I expected…)
Off topic: I really enjoyed Dhuluma No More at Starship Sofa.
Um, I’m optimistic for the future of SF?
Kwandongbrian,
Yeah, but the problem is, as Jetse says, that SF is not optimistic for your future. SF’s full of dark visions, and a much smaller number of optimistic views of the future, or how we’ll be dealing with the mounting crises that are growing more apparent with each passing year. You know, the kind of stories that could inspire new approaches to those problems? de Vries feels (probably quite correctly) that they’re not getting written, probably because dark visions are just easier.
Glad you liked my story! :) Thanks!
