Also, the Alien film was taken from "Discord in Scarlet", later part of _The Voyage of the Space Beagle_.

Wait, Voyage of the Space Beagle? The Alien films ripped off something called Voyage of the Space Beagle?

Read my dad’s copy of “The Voyage of the Space Beagle” (which included that bit” when I was about 10 (1974ish). The style seemed a bit dated, but the idea of Nexialism was thought-provoking to a kid and hooked me.

You might be interested in Asimov's story Sucker Bait, which has a similar kind of "science of connexity".

Born to Dutch parents. He spoke Dutch. So calling him Dutch would be ok I guess. But not German. Dutch != German, basically, we hid Anne Frank, and they killed her.

"van" is typically found in Dutch names, not German, if I'm not mistaken.
