Questions for Reflection

  1. Does anything matter more than survival – and if so, what, and why?
  2. If we had to make a choice, what should we save: human lives, or human thought (genes or memes)?
  3. Can we make an afterlife in the form of a virtual reality? Should we?

Hi everybody,

If you are in or near Sydney, Australia and would like to do some voice acting for a play on Abe Lincoln and Charles Darwin in time for their mutual birthdays please shoot me an email thesciphishow@gmail.com

The timeline on this is short, so you’ll need to be quick if you want in.

Welcome to installment five of Sci Phi Journal. This week we have an article by Michael Spence called Requiem for a Harlequin: Two Perspectives on Time, and a Celebration of Kairos, in Three Stories by Harlan Ellison. Michael blogs over at Brother Osric’s Scriptorium and it is well worth checking out. It is read by the author.
