One More Reason I Love the Internet


Fred Pohl has a blog. Do you have any idea how long I've been reading novels and stories by Fred Pohl? Well, longer than I like to think about, that's for sure.
(Thanks to Steven H. Silver for the heads-up.)

Thanks for the heads up. Like you, I've been reading Pohl's books for a long time.

I just finished reading Robert Silverberg's retrospective collection, PHASES OF THE MOON. Silverberg tells how Pohl talked him into returning to write science fiction by promising he'd publish ANYTHING Silverberg would write. Pohl was as great an editor as he was a writer.

I agree - the internet is incredible. I talk to so many folk online who I would never otherwise have known anything about. Trouble is to keep up with everyone I've got to live in multiple time zones - UK and US and New Zealand and Spain and Africa and China and Canada.

Oh thanks for the link

I have Silverberg's PHASES OF THE MOON but have barely started on it. It looks like a great collection, though.

I'm so glad that you mentioned this. This blog will be a continuing pleasure to read.

Thanks indeed, James, for passing on this news. I have a first UK edition, hardcover copy of The Way the Future Was -- one of the treasures that came my way when I was the SF reviewer for the old Auckland Star newspaper. The blog tells me it's another of those books now long out of print. It shouldn't be!

John Boston hipped the members of FictionMags to this, too...very happy developement, though way too bad about Pohl's recent near-incapacitation of his right hand (and also, of course, his melancholy about losing his collaborators and his will to collaborate).

This is a very nice book. Infact it says how the future might be.
