Norman Spinrad At Large

A TALE OF TWO MICE:                                                              SUPERMOUSE                                   by Norman Spinrad "They're bigger than we are, but we're more intelligent than they are," said Mouse 2. "Are we?" said Mouse 3 dubiously. "A good question," said Mouse 4. "The question," said Mouse 5. "Some of us are, some of us aren't.  But at least you are, Supermouse." The five of them had taken to calling Mouse 1 that, and while there was something illusionist about it that he didn't like,"Supermouse" could  not deny that it was true.

They could all speak thanks to their larynx enhancements, they didn't have names but they did have simple numbers, not the gobbledegook se

AMERICAN GENERALS ON STRIKE AGAINST THE FOREVER WAR. This is not going to make economic sense for me.  GENERAL STRIKE is a 17,000 word novella that no magazine would dare publish and if you read it, you'll probably understand why, the very same reason why I self published it on Amazon, $7.00 for paperback, $5.00 because I believed it had to be read now.  Unsurprisingly, it hasn't exactly been a best seller. So I've just undercut myself and not only dropped the Amazon prices to $3.58 for the paperback, the lowest price Amazon allows and at which I get no royalty at all and $2.99 for the ebook which is also the Amazon minimum.  Not only that, I'm cutting even that by posting the whole novella on NORMAN SPINRAD AT LARGE for free. Why am I doing such a thing? Call it patriotism, call it direct action, call it putting my money where my mouth is, call it because I believe that current actions by Donald Trump re Iran among other things, make it  necessary.
