For a nice pundity look at the implications of technology (written for biotech and nanotech, but handwavium would fit in without any problems, "Singularities and Nightmares" by David Brin is a good read. --- Mr. Fnord http://fnord.sandwich.net/ http://www.jihad.net/

A bit of background colour for Comrade Fnord: LED developed in Russia in the 1920s, and possibly the transistor, too...

Posts: 3963 (04/21/07 05:31 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Here's a page I've put together, that would be of interest to anyone writing stories beyond The Limit: Nearby Stars Within A Half Spectral Class of Sol My list of "intereting" stars is somewhat different from Comrade Fnord's, in that I chose only stars that current thinking says might be easy to colonize. On the flip side, I put together a couple of GURPS Space Atlas style tables showing the distance between any two of the stars, and how long it'd take to travel between them at 500c (ships' speed) and 10,000c (FTL comm speed)...

So! Avistrum Academy of Sorcery, a Denver-based Harry Potter group that goes above and beyond in the call of duty. Excellent color fodder for Fenspace's Wizarding World. The venerable 501st Stormtrooper Legion, a quintessential Star Wars club with global reach and organization. Likewise, the Trekkie counterpart is STARFLEET. --- Mr. Fnord http://fnord.sandwich.net/ http://www.jihad.net/
