On my victrola: Logan's Sanctuary soundtrack. For an imaginary follow up to Logan's Run. You would not think this synth sound was born in AD 2000, so Nixonian its vision; and this plot synopsis is a hoot, too. (Villainous "Cobol".) --As in Th* Tabl*ts, bogus actuality has its own strong pull, such that it's not hard at all for an auditor to allow this world to occur, although it hasn't and can't. And why not?
But it only works with a sharp historical faculty.
"The art of divination by lightning distinguished eleven kinds of lightning..."
--von Cl*s-R*d*n, op cit
"Crave we gems? No penury
Of their material round us! Pliant earth
And plastic flame--what balks the mage his birth
--Jacinth in balls or lodestone by the block?"
--Sord*llo, vi.
