what a snarl of metaphors …
and allusions!
What Psychic color.

What? The next Ginsberg?. Nah,
But the next best thing
Since Adam blamed Eve…!

Wow, it’s lovely to see people still commenting on this issue! I just wanted to add that the link to my comment above will no longer work, as the account is now defunct. I’m already figuring out what to submit for the next issue, too. Thanks again!

What a fantastic story! Would have liked to have seen it delivered live, but it works well on paper (note: am reading this in 2027, on a train, 30,000ft above the Earth ^_^)

Hey Brian
Can you hook me up Obodoimma? Only kidding, I enjoyed your poems. Colin

Great images. Powerfully conceived to converse with the words of those poems. I like the way the platform rises to meet my eyes or retreats as I scroll up and down! That, too, is part of the poem, and part of the way I read the electronic text/image.
Congratulations.

Congratulations for this wonderful issue. All stories were interesting and original and this is very impressive. Unfortunately, many currently published SF short stories lack originality, so your magazine is a pleasant surprise for any SF fan.
Qlone, for instance, is extremely inventive at a scientific point of view and the plot is excellent. Bruce Sterling’ s presentation was as clever and awesome as everything else he writes, but I am afraid that I am not very objective there as I am a fanatic admirer of Mr Sterling.
The story by Charles Platt is very funny and the one by Jetse De Vries is AMAZING!!! I am just sorry that I did not have the opportunity to read this story when I was a medical student, tortured for more than one year by Watson and Krick’s nightmarish helicoidal hallucination.
Thanks for the good time I had with your stories, congratulations for FLURB and keep up with the excellent job. I cannot wait to read the next issue! (I apologise for my English, it is not my mother language).

On TV and movies in those fabulous Sixties, it was computers. “My super computer will turn all my enemies into radishes. Ah, ha ha ha ha!” (pets white cat) “All I have to do is enter their names here and press this little button.” Then some lights flash and tapes roll back and forth while ominous music plays.
