Haha okay that tracks. I haven’t read much Heinlein but I remember being very confused at the end of Time for the Stars when his brother’s granddaughter was like “Hi uncle time-dilation with pop-pop’s DNA. Welcome back to Earth. We’re getting married now.”
“Sorry, what?”
“I grew up trading your thoughts. It’s not incest if you’re psychic.”
My mother got me The Secret once as a gift. The Secret is one of two things: irrational bullshit or dangerous black magic. (It’s the first one)
Peter has a new book coming out, you should check it out!
We were last in line to meet Peter at the last show of the night and he was so exhausted. It was still such a positive experience, he’s so kind to everyone. I have almost no interest in meeting celebrities… Even ones I really like. but Peter Beagle, I would take to dinner.
Basically him and Liam O’Brien, I’d like to meet. Everyone else can get fucked lol
It’s also the reason unicorns are girly. In the first sentence it refers to the unicorn was “she”. Prior to that, unicorn myths were very masculine. VERY.
Peter Beagle for decades thought the last unicorn was a flop. He got almost no royalties. Then the rights reverted to him like 15 years ago. Then he went on a screening tour. When he did it, he had no idea the theaters would sell out. Q&A with tears and everything. We met him, he was so tired but still signing anything you wanted for free. Then the tour organizer ripped him off. (I got bad vibes from that guy, he was like a used car salesman)
There is an online artist alliance now to protect him from exploitation.
Kushiel’s Dart is NOT for kids.
Depending heavily on the reader, but for modern audiences, Foundation.
The tv series incorporates stories from other Asimov books, original elements, reimagining…
In the book, not only is ALL the action offscreen (a fact that shocked Asimov when he reread it decades later after being finally convinced to write a fourth book), but also almost all of the main characters never meet, since they are generations apart, and many of them are just generic guys with no real backstory.Especially Gaal, who instead of being arguably the main character (badass female swimmer psychic heretic mathematician cryo-time-traveller) in the TV show is simply a hapless narrator (and a dude with no characteristics) in the first small part of the first novel.
