QUARANTINE by Norman Spinrad If it wasn’t the best of times, at least it wasn’t the worst of times, or something like that, which is the opening line of a novel called A TALE OF TWO CITIES, and it seemed like this would be only a tale of one. Back in the day before the Quarantine, Manhattan island was the heart and soul and pocketbook of New York City, to the extent that New York could have been said to have all three, Wall Street, Greenwich Village, Broadway and 42nd Street, and all that jazz. When you saw a movie or a TV show or an ad featuring New York, the Big Apple was Manhattan, not anything in what some visiting Californian must have dubbed the “Outer Boroughs,” the moral equivalent of Anaheim or Eagle Rock as far as a Hollywood wise guy was concerned. Not that I was a Hollywood wise guy just because my sales office happened to be located on the seventh floor of one of those unglamorous glass towers at the
QUARANTINE--a freebie novelette
I 've written something over 100 stories and over 95% of them have been bought and published, but a few if them, such as A GAME OF TELEPHONE, have not. QUARANTINE was one of them for years until Greg Spector bought it and published it this year in his anthology of original stories FREEDOM OF SCREECH. Which makes it eligible for the Science Fiction and Fantasy of America best short story Nebula and the Hugo awarded by the World Science Fiction Convention of 2020. Read it here and see why no magazine or other anthology would dare to publish this story until Greg bought it for an anthology of just such hot potatoes and why it is not likely to win a Nebula or a Hugo. Ask me why I wrote such a story? You tell me!

VITAMIN C VERSES CORONAVIRUS Why I've not yet read this anywhere I don't know but that is why I'm duty-bound to do it myself: Vitamin C will be effective against the Coronavirus, personally, and collectively. Vitamin C promotes the body's creation of Interferon which is key to the strength of the immune system. Everyone should take at least 2000mg of Vitamin C, 1000 in the morning, 1000 in the evening, some say another 1000 mid-day. This is not curative, this is cautionary, keeping your immune system running at maximum. If you start to suspect that you may be feeling early symptoms take 1000 mg of Vitamin C an hour until your urine turns bright yellow, which means that your Vitamin C is at maximum and you are pissing away the rest. This will not always stop the infection but it frequently will. I am not making this up, it was discovered and elucidated by Linus Pauling, a Nobel class biochemist. Decades ago, I suffered chronic urinary infection like many men. When I
DIRECT ACTION CAN DO IT!
DIRECT ACTION Virginia with 13 electoral votes has now joined the Compact. The magic number is 270. Now the count to it is 209 and rising. Only 61 more electoral votes to go. Which state will be next? Which state will be the one to finally make it so? Save American Constitutional Democracy from the coming singularity via The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact In 2016 Clinton got 3 million more popular votes than Trump but Trump was elected President against the will of the majority of the American voters and the odds are that something like it is going to happen again in 2020. And if it does, the Constitution of the United States will be revealed as incompatible with American Democracy and something cannot help but give. There cannot fail to be a paradigm shift AKA a revolution against the Constitution as it stands. Indeed there has already been a quite Constitutional coup already via the Electoral College. One thing is sure--Donald Trump
A Norman Spinrad Retrospective
A LONG RETROSPECTIVE ON QUIETUS Here's the text in full, but this is another illustrated piece, so I'm also linking to the full online illustrated version All these interviews and articles in such a short period of time is wonderfully encouraging and greatly appreciated. But also frustrating and infuriating. With all of this, why isn't there an American publisher with the cojones or at least the commercial street-smarts to publish OSAMA THE GUN, WELCOME TO YOUR DREAMTIME, or POLICE STATE? Frustrating, infuriating, and I'm beginning to feel, rather disgusting. rhe full illustrated version The full illustrated version By Any Other Name: A Norman Spinrad Retrospective Sean Kitching , September 22nd, 2013 08:55 Sean Kitching delves in to the life and work of Norman Spinrad, who having turned 73 last week arguably remains one of science-fiction's greatest authors and enduring characters Norman Spinrad has easily the most fitting surname of any scien
AN HOUR LONG INTERVIEW WITH NORMAN SPINRAD
AN HOUR LONG INTERVIEW WITH NORMAN SPINRAD AT THE UTOPIALES FESTIVAL IN NANTES FRANCE the questions are in in French, the answers are in English November 2012 I was in Nantes for the Utopiales festival, the most widely attended true mulitmedia sf event in the world (circa 50,000 attendees this year), and the best mix (literature, cinema, art, video games, science, etc.) and for the launch of my lastest LE TEMPS DU REVE, doing half a dozen or so panels and about a dozen magazine, internet, and television interviews in Nantes, and more in Paris. Yes the novel, WELCOME TO YOUR DREAMTIME, was written in English and translated, but no I haven't been able to find an American publisher as yet, so this nationally publicized French edition is the world first edition. How such thing could happen, or rather not happen, despite my being Guest of Honor at the forthcoming World Science Fiction Convention in San Antonio next year and this being well-known, but on the othe
THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES
Free story of the week THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES This story was first published in ANALOG. It is set in what we now know about our universe--billions of planets in our galaxy, billions of galaxies in our universe, virtually certain millions of biospheres in our galaxies, surely we will discover other sapient cultures. And then what? We will know they are there, but then what? One thing is sure, it will change speculative fiction, indeed fiction period, because any fiction that doesn't face this existential reality will be outdated. THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES by Norman Spinrad No member of the Order of the Galactic Eye has ever gone down there because we can’t, but I doubt than any of us would if we could. Destiny is that to which one may aspire and therefor a potential choice, but fate is what is written in one’s stars. Or in our case in our DNA. Written there by those dow
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 BARRON--denounced on the floor of the British Parliament, the basis of a famous unmade movie in Hollywood held captive by Universal, more or less in continuous
