Re: Anathem
Hi Doug,
So what are your impressions of the book? I'm a big NS fan, but haven't got
Anathem yet. However, I'm thinking of treating myself for Xmas - a good
idea, yes?
Cheers,
DANNY

So has any one finished?
I'm about 250 in and so far; very good.

Re: In despair for the state of SF
There is so much good science fiction - not to mention 'slipstream', 'New Weird', etc - out there (old and new) why waste your time reading the crap?

Re: Why not discuss the topic?
This, of course, is purely libertarian 'capitalist' egotistical selfishness. If everyone thought and behaved liked this - and it became governmental policy - then we would indeed be living under Barbarism.

That suggests to me that you've been a bad, bad boy. I have to agree with John here. The only reason people pay taxes is because the g*vernment threat us with guns. If I don't pay the car tax, people with guns may stop me and take away my car. If I don't pay the property tax, people with guns will come to my house and move me out of it. If I don't pay import taxes when I come from a travel, people with guns will steal the things I bought. G*vernment is consent robbery.
