By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall As I am writing this, voting in the UK General Election is taking place. However, we will have to wait until tomorrow for the results. As such, I want to address one of the biggest perpetual issues in Britain, the housing crisis. It has become a kind of a dark joke … Continue reading [June 18th, 1970] A Case of Déjà Vu (Vision of Tomorrow #10)
This month saw such a bumper crop of books (and a bumper crop of Journey reviewers!) that we've split it in two. This first one covers two of the more exciting books to come out in some time, as well as the usual acceptables and mediocrities. As Ted Sturgeon says: 90% of everything is crap. … Continue reading [June 16, 1970] Solaris, Year of the Quiet Sun…and a host of others (June 1970 Galactoscope #1)
By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall There has been a steady rise in complaints about the state of current TV in the liberal society. It is commonly held up as the cause of declining moral standards and a crude form of entertainment. The Times decided to look into this and had a team watch through and analyse … Continue reading [April 28, 1970] A Strange Case of Vulgarity & Violence (Vision of Tomorrow #8)
By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall My area of the UK (considered either the Northern Home Counties or Southern Midlands depending on who you speak to) is not a particularly densely populated region. Even with commuter growth since the War, there are only two towns within 50 miles that contain over 100,000 people. This is all set … Continue reading [March 18, 1970] Future Cities and Past Visions (Vision of Tomorrow #7)
By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall Just some of the many brands of sex you can enjoy at your local tobacconist theatre It seems the final death knell for Capital Punishment in the UK will be sounded soon. There is a vote soon in the House of Lords, widely expected to pass, to make the trial period … Continue reading [December 12, 1969] A More Liberal Society? (Vision of Tomorrow #4)
By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall Among musicians right now, there seems to be a split around whether to look towards an experimental future or an idealized past for their inspiration. Both in pop music and SF, nudity and sex remain sources of controversy. The most explicit examples of Futurism come from two recent singles, Zager and … Continue reading [November 14, 1969] To Experiment or Not To Experiment, That is the Question. (The New S.

By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall The Times is running a series of articles where major thinkers elucidate on what they believe life will be like in 1980. The series started with Arthur Koestler (philosopher most known for his Orwellian novel, Darkness at Noon) who predicts that, in the Britain of 1980, Mediocracy will be the order … Continue reading [October 6, 1969] The Rule of a Mediocracy (Vision of Tomorrow #3)
Join us on August 29 at 7pm Pacific Daylight Time for the first edition of Science Fiction Theater—every week, we'll broadcast an excellent show or two, accompanied by fanzine readings and, of course, with commercials! By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall In general, there is a certain patriarchal attitude us Brits have towards the Commonwealth. We assume … Continue reading [August 28, 1969] Aussie-British Publishing (Vision of Tomorrow #1)
by Victoria Silverwolf Ladies of Darkness Two very different novels by women fell into my hands this month. Just about the only thing they have in common is a downbeat mood. Even that, however, is treated in highly dissimilar ways by the authors. Let's take a look. Shadows of Tomorrow, by Dorothy Daniels Anonymous cover … Continue reading [August 16, 1969] Soaring high and low (August 1969 Galactoscope)
by Fiona Moore I was interested in reading this month’s Ace Double because I’d never read any Rackham, but had heard some good things about his writing. Ipomoea turned out to be a mixed bag, a pacy adventure story with some interesting themes that didn’t quite live up to its early promise. Cover of Ipomoea … Continue reading [April 16, 1969] The Men from Ipomoea (April 1969 Galactoscope)
