Magali Barbé – Strange Beasts
An evening pause: The future appears it will become a very lonely and isolated place, very divorced from reality.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
In other words everyone in the future is seen by anyone observing them as being deranged, disconnected and basically crazy.
This used to be the case in the not so long a go past and sometimes today when we see people “talking to themselves”. And then we notice the wire or buds in that persons ear and realize that they are talking to someone on the phone.
Not so long ago it was easy to tell who was nuts and who was not, in the future, not so easy.
