Terra Or Not In The Early Technic History

The first five instalments:

(i) a story set entirely in the outer Solar System but imparting some information about Earth from the mid-20th to the mid-21st centuries;

(ii) and (iii) two stories, each set on a different extra-solar planet while also imparting information on several other such planets;

(iv) and (v) two contemporaneous stories, one commencing on Earth, the other set entirely within San Francisco Integrate.

And this would be a good point at which to start extracting information from (iv) and (v) but that is not going to happen tonight.

Starward.

    Kaor, Paul!

    Change that to "Terra Or Not to be Terra in The Early Technic History" and you get something faintly mock Shakespeareian! (Smiles)

    Ad astra! Sean

    I think Poul may have made a mistake with THE SATURN GAME. It's too close. Mostly the Technic history is vague about the 21st-22nd centuries, and I think that's a good idea.

    Kaor, Mr. Stirling!

    Well, "The Saturn Game" was first pub. in 1981. Meaning Anderson must have thought 2040 or so a safely distant date!

    Ad astra! Sean
