News You Can Bruise for 2006 January 5

Permalink [Comments] (1) Bill the Galactic Hero:

Funny, well detailed over-the-top '60s satire from Harry Harrison, who wrote the story that became Soylent Green. Has the same thermodynamically bizarre attitude towards overconsumption as Soylent Green. I was (SPOILER) fairly disappointed that Bill never actually became a Galactic Hero, but that was probably intentional. I thought it captured a Paranoia-type mood much better than the Paranoia novelization.
