    Mr. Spinrad,

    I've been a huge fan for a while. Don't know if you recall, but ten years or so ago, you were looking for a new apt in Paris and I sent you the info of someone (a woman named Portia) who worked for the French govt to see if they could help.

    In any regard, I'm trying to contact you for the purpose of doing an interview over the internet, via Vokle. It's a video format similar to your video blogs.

    You can contact me at tom@thetomgulleyshow.com. I'll be happy to speak with you. Unless I'm done in by a Giant Flying Vampire Toad.

    Tom G.

           ELECT YOUR PEOPLE'S POLICE                            by Norman Spinrad If something isn't done, and done fast, a civil war in the United States is just a shot or a Molotov Cocktail away. But how and by who?   If there is one American who could stand up before the protesters and be listened to it is surely the one and only former President of the United States, Barack Obama. Live before the largest crowd possible and of course well televised.  What should he say? He should speak the hard truth to the leaderless protesters that what they are doing is counterproductive to their own confusion of diverse and general causes which if even possible would take decades of legislation to accomplish. What is needed  immediately is a strong significant and reachable demand. Demand that the head of all police departments in the United States--cities, towns, st...

JIHADHIS--THEY PLAY THE GAME, GIVE THEM THE NAME

                 JIHADIS--THEY PLAY THE GAME, GIVE THEM THE NAME                             It's World War III, and we are in it.        Al Qaida in Pakistan, Al Qaida in the Mahgreb, Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, the Taliban, whoever, wherever, these groups and franchises operate, they're called "militants," in government lingo, in newspaper, news sites, and TV news, they're called "militants."         But "militant" denotes a level of passion, dedication, and ruthlessness, not even a tactic as "terrorist" at least does, and that doesn't begin to describe what they real are.  They they call themselves "jihadhis" and proud of it and that's what they really are.            All these terrorist groups, wherever they are, whatever their tactics, have a coherent and focused ideological goal-...

THE 21ST CENTURY SHAMAN

        THE 21ST CENTURY SHAMAN                          Alternate Medicines and the Scientific Method                     by  Norman Spinrad           Written   over a decade ago as a proposal for a book that never got written  but all too pertinent  to the era of the coronavirus                     There are many medical systems on this planet, some of them ancient, some of them new, more of them that not based on metaphorical systems. Only “Western” or “alliopathic” medicine is based on rigorous science.  But many of the traditional non-western systems cure some conditions cure some conditions but not others. Many of these cures work in practice, but not in theory. That is they do work, but not for the reasons the theory behind them conte...

VIVA LA FONDO DE CULTURA ECONOMICA

   VIVA LA FONDO DE CULTURA ECONOMICA  It started with my then agent telling me that a Mexican publisher wanted to publish BUG JACK BARRON in a cheap Mexican edition for a small advance.  BUG JACK BARRON had been published in Spanish, but not in Mexico, since, like English language rights split between the US and Britain, Spanish language rights are generally split between Spain and Latin America.  I shrugged, and said okay, not knowing much more about it, except that it was Paco Taibo, who I knew years ago,  was making the deal, and I didn't think much more about it then. But then Paco asked me to come to Mexico City for the book launch, which was also going to be the launch of a new collection of the overall publisher, La Fondo de Cultura Economica.  What is that ? I asked, and Paco told me the brief version. La Fondo de Cultura Economica is a non-profit publisher subsidized by the Mexican government which publishes 500 books a year, distr...

PRIME TIME

              Here's the latest freebie story, I think this is going to be an ongoing series, every time I look into my short story backlist I find more things like this. PRIME TIME was published in Omni a long time ago, long before there was any such thing as virtual reality, but it's still predictive. There's never yet been a virtual reality as total as this.                                                        PRIME TIME  by Norman Spinrad Edna chose to awake this morning to good old breakfast loop A. John was reading a newspaper over pancakes and sausages in the kitchen of their old home. The kids were gulping the last of their food and were anxious to be on their way to school. After yesterday's real-time-shared breakfast with John, she really felt she needed the soothing old familiar tape fro...

BUG JACK BARRON & THE LAST HURRAH OF THE GOLDEN HORDE

BUG JACK BARRON & THE LAST HURRAH OF THE GOLDEN HORDE                               a comparative ebook experiment                             For some time now, I’ve been exploring and experimenting with the exfoliating frontiers of ebook publishing--the business end, the hardware end, the software end. You can read all about it on NORMAN SPINRAD AT LARGE--the complete THE PUBLISHING DEATH SPIRAL and THE FUTURE OF EBOOKS IS NOW.  (http://normanspinradatlarge.blogspot.com/) But on the experimental side of the business end, I’ve been experimenting only with do-it--yourself, and confining myself to titles with computer files I could lay my hands on by hook or from crooks.  Meaning whatever I didn’t write on a computer or couldn’t find a scanned pirated version of could not be made available. But that meant that BUG JACK BARRO...
