Story of the week--THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERE ---more or less once a week I'll post a freebie story here on NORMAN SPINRAD AT LARGE---one time non-exclusive reprint rights only
For decades I tried to write a story from the viewpoints of dolphins or whales and failed. For decades people have tried to speak to dolphins in their own language and failed. This story, first published in Asimov's Magazine , is about why. Dolphins and whales don't have languages because they don't need them. They've got something much better. THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERE by Norman Spinrad In the 1960s there was a band called Blue Cheer whose claim to be the loudest rock and roll band on the planet went unchallenged.

I'm 73 now and have read that book to both my son and grandson.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think a people's police as you describe it is a good idea. It'd have to be done in some graduated way. But yeah. I see you're in the next Asimov's Norman. That's reason enough for me to pick it up! Wanted to say hello. Sorry to have lost touch.
