I've seen advertising for a new movie that's coming out soon - "Civil War", set in a nightmarish near future America. I've been thinking of seeing it. Has anyone else seen it yet, and if so do you think it's worth the price of a...

Anyone reads a fair amount of science fiction has at least heard of Robert Heinlein, one of the top SF authors of the 20th Century. This is a quick review of "If This Goes On-", his first published novel-lenghth story. It was...

I read this morning that Donald Trump is selling Bibles. I have seen it on some "Lefty" websites, but I have also seen it from sources like NBC and CBS, sources I used to trust.
I read the Bible often, sometimes just randomly...

Yup. Supposed billionaire Trump has launched a line of high top sneakers that are of course gold. They are as gaudy and gross as his NYC triplex. Interestingly they are named "Never Surrender Hi-Tops". Wasn't that Ron DeSantis'...

A picked this up in a charity shop recently, and I decided it would make a decent bit of light reading to start the new year with.

I'm British, and I'm old enough to remember the Cold War - or maybe we should now be calling it Cold War 1, in light of current events. I was a young man when the Berlin Wall was knocked down. When I was a teenager, some people...

I'm still going through my large collection of Ace Science Fiction Doubles, that well-remembered series of paperback books that were published from the early 50s to the early 70s. For me, it's a classic era of SF, when books were...
