Molinari Unbound! – Cinquième Soirée

David Hart’s contribution to the Molinarifest is posted.

You may be tempted to ask why a contribution labeled #3 was posted after a contribution labeled #4. If so, I would advise you to squelch your curiosity. Remember what happened to Irina Spalko.


Game Show

The trailer for Ender’s Game is out.

There’s one scene in there that I don’t think they should have shown. Hopefully people who haven’t read the book won’t remember the trailer too well when they watch the movie.


Molinari Unbound! – Deuxième Soirée

Gary’s response to my Molinari essay has been posted. His question: if Molinari’s labour-exchanges were a less than satisfactory way to redress the imbalance of power between labour and capital, what might be done instead?


Cybermen Go Home

I haven’t seen anyone commenting on the fact that “Nightmare in Silver,” the title of Doctor Who’s upcoming Cybermen episode scripted by Neil Gaiman, appears to be a nod to the titles of six short stories – “Nightmare in Gray,” “Nightmare in Green,” “Nightmare in White,” “Nightmare in Blue,” “Nightmare in Yellow,” and “Nightmare in Red” – in Nightmares and Geezenstacks (collected here) by the incomparable Fredric Brown (of whose work Gaiman is known to be a fan).

So I hereby comment on it.

FWIW, other admirers of Brown’s work include Ayn Rand, Mickey Spillane, Robert Heinlein, and Philip K. Dick.
