An insider's look at Science Fiction from the 1930s to the 1970s through the eyes of Frederick Pohl - Author, Agent and Editor. A bit of autobiography, and a bit about the early SF community and magazines. Fascinating stuff, and a good read.

I'm somewhat surprised, but very pleased to find that he's still with us (currently 91) and still active — he has his own blog, The Way the Future Blogs. Now added to my RSS feeds.

Next up: Women in Deep Time by Greg Bear. I got this back in December 2008 during a Fictionwise 40% off sale, using Micropay from a 100% rebate sale. That added up to an astonish level of discount overall. I do miss the old Fictionwise.

This seems to be three novellas by Greg Bear. I've liked some of his other stuff, so hopefully I'll like these.
