58. You Dang Whippersnappers have No IDEA what guys like HIM did for Science Fiction!

Satellites wouldn't be quite where they are, and the space elevator wouldn't be in the (early) stages that it is.

Seriously... what would be 'cutting edge' for you? I'd love to know that Baxter, Simmons, and Gibson have long since been overtaken. I need new stuff to read.

Now... If Weber can rival those, I'm all on board.

But them's is giants of an order I've yet to see overshadowed, so...

Give me something by Weber... I'll check it out.
