12 – Colonel Spitfire and the 7th Brigade Part 1

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

This weeks installment of Sci Phi Journal is the first two part story and is written by Dr Chris Drohan. It is quite a weird story, but I also quite like it. I’d be interested to see what others think. Warning, there is a bit of reasonably graphic violence in this weeks story.

This weeks installment of Sci Phi Journal is a special release for the 200th Anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln. Dr Steve Fuller has given us permission to produce his play “Lincoln and Darwin for one night only”. The play is performed by Hayley Gallagher as Shelia, Kevin Woo as Jack, Charles Gallagher as Chuck and Aaron Binns as Abe. I hope you enjoy this play, although it is quite long coming in at around 85 minutes.

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?
