Stross's new novel: Saturn's Children, a late Heinlein homage

July 5, 2008 9:15am

Don't forget that Spider Robinson also spends a lot of time in Heinlein homage (and he writes in the later style as much as -- if not more than -- the earlier). Mix in a dash of Donald E. Westlake, a healthy jigger of P. G. Wodehouse, and you've got a heady combination of sexy SF and weighty, thought-provoking comedy.

His Disneyland-inspired novel The Free Lunch is not to be missed.

I don't think I'd let my plastic robot fight a fire, even a little one. Not even if that were $760 in today's dollars.

Mall cops flag juicy cars for thieves

I'm in Conyers, and in fact I work at the Wal-Mart (I know, I know!), which is one of the biggest retailers in the area. (For the record, we have no mall in Rockdale.) And I haven't seen any of these yet. Granted, I wasn't looking for them.

This'll blow over soon, and then we can all get back to having group teen sex...

And I haven't seen this posted here either (but I'm not a big fan so it's possible I just forgot). The Caniff family's releasing DVDs!
