I am re-reading the Lensman stories and the parallels between what the Galactic Patrol is doing to unseat the political machine and install the Galactic Council bear a striking resemblance to what’s going on now. Not that our military or politicians have Lenses, but one can dream...
The same dirty tricks by the opposition. The same information wars and lies. The same rigor to “PROVE IT! SAVE IT!” The Eddorians and Ploorians are slightly fantastical, but IMHO Smith would feel right at home with the political atmosphere and he’d most likely agree that the Deep State and the zwilniks are pretty much birds of a feather.
Just putting it out there.
I managed to picknup a first edition of the Lensman series a few years back, love E.E.Doc Smith books, very straightforward in theirnuse of language, multi-faceted in concept.
Nice.
One of my good friends told me about the lensman I'll have to check it out right now I'm currently reading the stormlight archives
It’s 1950s vintage but I like it. Have it on Apple iBooks app so sitting in a waiting room I can pick it up and kill some time.
I have one of his books on the shelf now. Different series. Picked it up at a half price store. It was OK, but not inspiring enough to get the rest of the series.
