Alvaro Zinos-Amaro: Book #22, Year Million, edited by Damien Broderick

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality. - Iris Murdoch // The interplay of thought and imagination is far superior to that of muscle and sinew. - Isaac Asimov // The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience. - Emily Dickinson // A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. - Lao Tzu // Do whatever you will, but first be such as are able to will. - Friedrich Nietzsche // The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses. - Francis Bacon // Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are. - Soren Kierkegaard // The possible ranks higher than the actual. - Martin Heidegger //

Book #22, Year Million, edited by Damien Broderick

Just finished this collection of fourteen speculative science essays in which scientists and writers provide glimpses of what the year 1,000,000 C.E. (yes, that's right, one million) might be like. Heady stuff. I'll be working on the review shortly.

Alvaro Zinos-Amaro said...: The essays cover the whole spectrum of speculation; there should be at least a dozen ideas to knock yer cosmic socks off! :-)

Thanks for your interest! I'll let you know as soon as the review is written and available.; July 17, 2008 at 6:21 PM
