I might have included some comments a...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />I might have included some comments about Anderson's chilling "In Memoriam," his speculation about the ultimate fate of mankind and the Earth. As I'm sure you recall, the human race goes out, alas, with a whimper not a bang!<br /><br />I could imagine PA's "Murphy's Hall" as being thematically prior to "In Memoriam." It touches on bad ideas of the kind Anderson feared would lead to what we see at the beginning of "In Memoriam."<br /><br />I don't want readers new to the works of Anderson to get the wrong impression, however! While Anderson did not shy away from showing us grim and bad possibilities, he offers us many far more hopeful scenarios in others of his works.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
