![]() ![]() Similar to how the ceramic plates in a bullet-proof vest can absorb the energy of a bullet by shattering, but with much greater effect than that. (See comments section below.) In particular, it really is theoretically possible to produce metals that have such low entropy (that is, which are unnaturally well-ordered at the atomic level) that under stress, they can convert energy into entropy. The scientific language is overwhelming, but it all appears to be accurate. But it certainly makes the narrator seem like a selfish jerk. The trick to either force the primary to accept him or else refuse reunification seems clever, provided Bamobah doesn’t die afterwards. It’s almost like a metaphor for how an engineer gets so wrapped up in solving a problem that his/her spouse feels married to a zombie. Pro: I liked the idea that designing complex nanotechnology might require total commitment from engineers’ minds. ![]()

If there is any Charles Fort influence, it may be by way of Eric Frank Russell’s Sinister Barrier.īoth novels were published in John Campbell’s Unknown magazine, Russell’s in 1939, Williamson in 1940.īoth novels feature a broad battle between humans and non-humans, Russell’s Vitons and Williamson’s witch-people, with the evidence of those battles showing up in human psychology and odd events.īoth these non-human races feed, in some way, off humans either biologically or using them, in this novel, as slave labor in man’s past. I think, amongst other things, Williamson was clearly influenced by the work of Rhine on psychic powers, and the notion that these strange powers (which are mentioned in, partially, Fort’s Wild Talents) may be studied scientifically almost certainly comes from there. ![]() ![]() I see no evidence of that.įort is not mentioned or even obliquely alluded to. ![]() I originally read this novel because Fortean Miriam de Ford listed it as one of the sf works influenced by Charles Fort.

Shows like Lovecraft Country employ monster-of-the-week elements to tell an ongoing story, while anthology projects like Welcome to the Blumhouse offer stand-alone stories at a feature-length running time. There are a handful of recent ones, from HBO’s Room 104 to Amazon’s Lore to Jordan Peele’s revitalized Twilight Zone on CBS All Access, but mostly, recent series take inspiration from the format without fully committing to it. With so much horror content available on streaming channels right now, it’s surprising that there aren’t more contemporary horror anthology series in the style of Tales from the Crypt. ![]() ![]() ![]() OL24210731W Page_number_confidence 94.44 Pages 470 Partner Innodata Pdf_module_version 0.0.7 Ppi 360 Rcs_key 24143 Republisher_date 20210224103547 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 674 Scandate 20210221024948 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 9788466324991 Tts_version 4.
