to travel faster than a speeding bullet is not much help if you and it are heading straight towards each other
John BrunnerIf there is such a phenomenon as absolute evil, it consists in treating another human being as a thing.
John BrunnerAs its best, SF is the medium in which our miserable certainty that tomorrow will be different from today in ways we cant predict, can be transmuted to a sense of excitement and anticipation, occasionally evolving into awe. Poised between intransigent scepticism and uncritical credulity, it is par excellence the literature of the open mind.
