- Harry Harrison: One Step From Earth
- ---------------------------------------
- Harry Harrison is the man who wrote
- the books about Slippery Jim DiGriz,
- the Stainless Steel Rat. In this book
- he narrates the history and effects of
- the mattermit device, the ultimate
- means of transportation. The book
- consists of short stories that give
- short insights into peaceful and less
- peaceful ways to use the device. At
- first there were the pioneers like
- those who landed into the gravity well
- of Saturn to find out the effect of
- extra gravity. Then there were the
- mattermit wars where device was used
- for fast tactical deployment behind
- enemy ranks. Wars caused recession,
- after which the re-explorers opened the
- old mattermission gates and returned
- the forgotten planets into civilization
- -for a price.
- A nice book and easy language.

- The Birth Of The Lamerism
- ---------------------------------------
- In the beginning only the strong, or
- the ingenious, survived. During the
- millennias all the rest were heaped
- into a great Pile of Losers. When this
- pile composted, turned back to shit,
- from which all the losers had come, an
- immensely fruitful medium for growth
- was created. This substance was so good
- that even the less strong, and the
- plain ones, were able to live. Finally
- there happened a minor miracle and even
- the powerless and the mindless ones
- made it. From this we have examples in
- our midst even today,namely Grendel&Co.

- Just mind your own business, don't come
