Welcome to episode 124 of Beam Me Up! Thanks to everyone for your continued interest! This week I start reading Uxo Bomb Dog by Eliot Fintushel. This is a longish story of the near future which tells the tale of a man and his dog and their efforts to clear the world of anti personnel weapons, mainly land mines. The story plays close to home, because his efforts of late are not in a far off third world country but Manhattan Island. Yes Elliots world has gone crazy and warring political groups have taken to stating their cause in the strongest possible methods.... In other entertainment, I found an interesting musical cut based on a 16th century Mandarin folk tale called Monkey - Journey to the West. Some of you might have seen a live action movie of this a few years ago, but this cut is from an upcoming opera in Mandarin. but the music is from an unusual source and it bring up some interesting science fiction images. The cut is called Monkey Bee - Take a listen. From the blog, Hulu tv has some great offerings, unusual time-line for the Chinese space launch, a mysterious Dark Force! Space Adventures is in some hot water, hackers have their way with an online sci-fi magazine sadly, Complete online version of Frank Herbert's Helstrom Hive and worlds may have actually collided! I think I have something for everyone this week! enjoy!
