        @HeerJeet Nice! I literally minutes ago added KSR's Three Californias books to my holiday wish list.

        .@HeerJeet not unless we are willing to start by moving the entire population of Bengal to Alberta, & build them houses & infrastructure

        @delong That would be an improvement from actually existing Alberta.

        @trekonomics @delong @HeerJeet @Annaleen Asimov consciously rejected the Frankenstein idea. But, then, he also was rarely dystopian...

        @HeerJeet I've been reading Paradise Lost and God's creation of earth brought to mind the Mars series. Tremendous serendipity; great piece.

        @HeerJeet thank you very much for this well written appraisal. KSR's writing is a big inspiration to me.

        @HeerJeet nice, I'm a KSR fan. :) My favorite non-KSR dys/utopias so far: _Manna_ by Marshall Brain, _Daemon_ and _Freedom_ by Daniel Suarez

        @HeerJeet Great piece, I've been a big fan of KSR since the Mars trilogy, his writing at least gives me a little hope for the future.

        @HeerJeet I think only if you start with 40 signs would you think of KSR as a merely efficient writer. His early work is lyrical, modernist

        @KevinBatton Fair enough. Maybe better phrasing would be that amid efficiency of 40 Signs, lyrical moments stand out more.
