SF Tidbits for 7/17/07
- Arrrrr! Andrew Wheeler reviews Pirate Freedom by Gene Wolfe.
- Neil Walsh's latest Books I've Been Avoiding: Overlooked or Over-hyped? column is up at SF Site: "Can there be such a thing as too many books? Lately I've been feeling I do indeed have too many books I haven't read yet. But is that really too many books, or simply not enough time?"
- Gail Martin shows off the cover of the next book in her Summoner series, The Blood King.
- Washington Technology interviews John Scalzi. "One of the frequent complaints we hear about technology is that technology is isolating. I would argue the opposite. We are so connected now sometimes it's hard to get away from each other."
- Scalzi, by the way, is giving free e-book copies of The Android's Dream to overseas service people.
- Tuesday YouTube: The original, pre-production trailer for Alien 3, which reflects the original William Gibson version (aliens on Earth). [via SciFi Scanner]
- Here's the transcript for NASA administrator Mike Griffin's talk at the Heinlein Centennial. "So, a question that has often been asked and that I've asked myself is, 'Was the growth of science fiction as a genre and hard science fiction in particular, a response to the cultural zeitgeist or was it a cause of it?'"
- File under Things I Don't Need But Want Anyway: An Alien Abduction Lamp.

On the trailer for the Alien 3,
that line made me howl in laughter and also at the same time cringe with dread. On Earth everyone can hear you scream, Indeed.
