I strongly second and encourage another Steampunk Book. Great idea linking Charles Hinton!!! Perhaps Edwin Abbott and other acute Geometers of the time as well. Very much enjoy your non-fiction science writings... particularly the geometry and artificial life, CA, GA, topics. Full Steam Ahead...

Very much enjoy your non-fiction science writings… particularly the geometry and artificial life, CA, GA, topics.

Full Steam Ahead…

I especially enjoy your characterization of Poe. Did you ever think of doing another SteamPunk book? How about something on Charles Hinton, all that 4th Dimension stuff, the Voynich manuscript connection... could be interesting? The Hollow Earth is great fun.

NPR's This American Life had a show about legacy this weekend and I thought of you, that you might want to listen to it. There is a story about a philanthropist in Wisconsin that was a great guy, but his legacy has become that of benign haunter. They also had a story about Ben Franklin padding his resume. He apparently never flew a kite. Good for Sylvia, I can think of few fates worse than hanging out in Riverside. Speaking of Newport Beach and twins, I have this great memory of being like 20, home on leave, and going down to Newport for a walk on the beach. I'm walking along minding my own business along the water and I look up to see two Amazonians jogging towards me. Twin drop dead gorgeous blond bomb shells jog up to and by me. I stopped and stood there in simple awe of the beauty of nature. I hope you enjoyed the scenery. Legacy: the vain attempt of dead men to control the future.
