  Really cool cyberpunk story of war. Next up is to fight for the oil in Iran with a car race, winner takes all.

    Did you notice that it was written in 1928?

      Yes! It was very surprising that it was so spot on. I guess there were people there knowing that the future of war was remote. The radar wasn’t even invented by that date!

        I just rewatched the pilot episode of Babylon 5. The space station has a daily newspaper.

        It’s always fun to read old SF and see what they got right and what they missed.

        Probably the king of misinformation is ‘The Man Who Sold The Moon.’ Gets every detail wrong, but it’s still a fun read. One of the businessman/hero’s greatest inventions is an automatic light switch you don’t have to touch to turn on lights when you enter a room. Best invention of 1954!
