Same for Zelazny. I sent him a (terrible) poem once and he was kind enough to reply. Sadly I lost that letter.

I’m so sad to hear that he is gone
I loved his books and Steel Beach the most

Just bought one myself, waiting to see if the fussy process of getting the seeds out wakes up my hyperfocus side (which loves that) or the lazy side (which won’t let me touch it).

It’s disheartening when research is interrupted. So often the work just can’t be picked up again when (if?) funding returns and projects has to restart entirely from scratch. People lose heart when their work is ruined over incompetence and petty politics.

Racism is expensive. This whole messy chapter is costing us lives and trillions of $

Trillions. With a T.

Good news:
We could stop this financial ruin at any time! It's entirely self inflicted

Bad news:
But we won't. Because we like the racism. We prefer it to not going bankrupt / into recession

Making it impossible for an author to sell their next book doesn’t just kill that book. It makes it far less likely the author will continue writing at all. They have to make a living somehow and they were already earning pennies an hour for their bonkers fragile and emotionally demanding work.
