Summary: This week on Episode 113, The passing of Tom Disch is the major downer of the week. I start the rest of the hour with a story from Shaun Saunders. I run his short story H.A.D. as a prime example of how Science Fiction is on the bleeding edge of not only science but social and cultural dynamics. The tie in concerns new concerns in medicine and the age group they are aimed at. The story is disturbing in its own right, the truth is frightening. Plus AMC cable channel wants to one up SCI Fi, discussion on Tor Books release of free E-Books, does it benefit the authors? EOS is joining the free ebook fray - however I have reservations, Cambell and Sturgeon awards are out - with some drama thrown in with the Locus awards and at the bottom of the hour I play part two of Matthew Jarpe's Chicken Soup for Mars and Venus. Its 2 for a penny at the BMU penny candy store and you have a brand new quarter, enjoy!
