    PRELUDE TO SPACE | IT (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

I feel like I’ve been cheated out of what should have been. In November 1928, an eleven-year-old Arthur C Clarke, still wearing short trousers, caught his first glimpse of Amazing Stories magazine (vol.3 no.8) with space-travellers emerging from a cylindrical spaceship onto the tropical shores of one of Jupiter’s moons, pointing upwards to where the imme

Under boulders of bureaucracy A desk can hurt like falling timber Hands don’t need picks and hammers to break just the same Micro or macro, fleece, feather or filestore Through frost, fire or fluorescence, Stockholm gifts us the pain for a false friend.

    Bird Guano’s SAUSAGE LIFE The column which pings where others merely pierce READER: Ping? Pierce? What’s that all about? MYSELF: Good morning to you too. Since you ask, the new rules of financial disclosure which come into effect this week now apply to the written word, and therefore I am obliged by law to declare any commercial interest I may have.
