BookStalking

I suppose to avoid any potential libel suits, I should qualify that and say that he is not necessarily a liar; but he is a convicted misrepresenter.

This is the small tidbit describing why he was convicted of Contempt of Court, since his easy, simple diet book was essentially none of the above. I hope he tries to appeal it, as that would only be good for America.

Maybe he could try to pull a James Frey, and say that actually, the books are fiction. Maybe that would save him.

As the holiday season grows  closer, it is important to provide the truth to consumers.

My science fiction reading has woefully left me unprepared for the future. There is no elegant colony on the moon. There is no myriad of alien races to interact with. I have yet to jack in.

As far as I am concerned, the future has hit, and it is now. And it is weird.

I just listened to a Tuvan throat singer, presumably from siberia, sing “House of the Rising Sun.” And then I watched one of the groups videos. You have to be deeply high to make that kind of stuff. High on Globalization and the future.

And so I look back and say “Scifi authors, you just weren’t weird enough! Rudy Rucker, you’ve got to TRY HARDER.”
