Our special guest this week is Rand Simberg: aerospace engineer, columnist, consultant, space blogger extraordinaire. Rand's name was bandied about recently when some of the Posse members were talking about who should be our next (actually, our first) US Supreme Astro-Commander. This promises to be a fun week!
Monday
Time Traveler's Notebook. We'll look at the four phases of the time travel process.
Tuesday
Rand Simberg answers Seven Questions about the Future.
Wednesday
Stillness, Chapter 12. Part II begins. We meet a guy named Emmett who
apparently works for the same company as Reuben, but who leads a much less glamorous
life. If you've been meaning to read Stillness (and I assume that applies to
everyone who currently is not reading it), this will be a great time
to start. Part II introduces a brand new story with no immediate connection
to the previous 11 chapters (which you can always go back and catch up on later.)
Part II is very different from Part I. Check it out.
Thursday
We'll be Speaking of the Future with Rand Simberg.
Friday
U. Spec. What is Speculist University? What degrees are offered? Who can
attend? Answers to these and other questions.
Saturday
Future Round-up.
All of the In
the Future... predictions for the week brought together in one handy list.
Plus, throughout the week we'll be blogging developments in nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, space exploration, and other future-impacting areas.
