Maybe that's partly the reason why some authors set their stories so near to the present - gambling that those types of events will NOT happen - so then, people will feel relieved and happy.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-21452393893018992242011-11-05T17:16:56.306-05:002011-11-05T17:16:56.306-05:00I find it oddly comforting that most of these Into...I find it oddly comforting that most of these Into The Future fictions did not get realized. Partly yes, the more subtle areas of mind control, etc.<br />We can still be surprised and I like that.<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-78589410750537862832011-11-05T14:21:27.451-05:002011-11-05T14:21:27.451-05:00James Higham ~~ Really?

I don't see any ad. or link on your blog.<br /><br />I wrote ( a first attempt at fiction - not my natureal genre) a longish short story on a similar theme - though I carefully set it way, way into the future and only mentioned end of the old world, and how it ended.

Not a nice end to the world BTW.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.com
