Harry Harrison: One Step From Earth
---------------------------------------
Harry Harrison is the man who wrote
the books about Slippery Jim DiGriz,
the Stainless Steel Rat. In this book
he narrates the history and effects of
the mattermit device, the ultimate
means of transportation. The book
consists of short stories that give
short insights into peaceful and less
peaceful ways to use the device. At
first there were the pioneers like
those who landed into the gravity well
of Saturn to find out the effect of
extra gravity. Then there were the
mattermit wars where device was used
for fast tactical deployment behind
enemy ranks. Wars caused recession,
after which the re-explorers opened the
old mattermission gates and returned
the forgotten planets into civilization
-for a price.
A nice book and easy language.

The Birth Of The Lamerism
---------------------------------------
In the beginning only the strong, or
the ingenious, survived. During the
millennias all the rest were heaped
into a great Pile of Losers. When this
pile composted, turned back to shit,
from which all the losers had come, an
immensely fruitful medium for growth
was created. This substance was so good
that even the less strong, and the
plain ones, were able to live. Finally
there happened a minor miracle and even
the powerless and the mindless ones
made it. From this we have examples in
our midst even today,namely Grendel&Co.

Just mind your own business, don't come
to say to me what I should do in your
opinion or what I should remove from
my texts ! <TWS>
