Now that everything is like a high-tech sci-fi story with an evil twist it is so nice to read short stories that contain no technology at all.

I was so happy when I found a copy of Robert Sheckley's "The Specialist" as a PDF online. It is such a wonderful and thought-provoking story about the feeling of belonging. ...and travelling...

@openrisk - Good. I was sort of hoping to find a passage through to the other side of this.

Speaking of biblical proportions... The end of the age of pisces should slowly give way to the age of aquarius. It has started, apparently.

Amazing times, as already stated.

@openrisk - ...and besides, it's amazing to be right in the middle of an unfolding apocalyptic dystopia. ...even though sci-fi authors have warned us about this very situation for decades.

@openrisk - I was trying to disable the "continue-with-our-auto-queue" function of the Spotify web player and the short story "But We Try Not to Act Like It" by Orson Scott Card came to mind.

@openrisk - One short story that actually helps me handle the semi-anonymity of social media is "the Moon Moth" by Jack Vance.

"Humanity is destined to repeat the mistakes of history because old sci-fi stories are hidden behind paywalls."
