I watched your great discussions with Ajith and others a month or so ago, and am reading your "Continuity and Rupture" at the moment. Would you believe that back in the day I missed seeing Samir Amin speak by an hour or two? I found out that he had popped in for a lecture at the Fernand Braudel Center while I was out to dinner. My jaw simply dropped in dismay!Tallgeesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045006122540505779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051574527441977124.post-27588998469474554392021-04-08T08:27:15.583-05:002021-04-08T08:27:15.583-05:00Thanks for this kind review.

It's interesting that you bring up world systems theory since Amin has had a big impact on my work and his understanding of global capitalism largely determines my understanding of imperialism, the transition question, etc. Also since this is a SFF related blog you might be interested in Methods Devour Themselves which I cowrote with a SFF author. If you want I can send you a PDF.JMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384595330293618571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051574527441977124.post-580744904993457842021-03-20T13:48:16.280-05:002021-03-20T13:48:16.280-05:00Thanks for stopping by!

There is some jargon, and I find myself going back to the glossaries in Issue #1, and to the explanation of inverted roll mechanics in Issue #3. We'll see how this goes!

I saw that show, too, and actually have an illustrated script of it that my dad bought at the time. The only other reference to it I've seen online is a resume by David Mammana, who was a technical assistant on the show. As you can see, I'm totally fascinated by Archive Factor, and by realistic near-future spaceflight Sci Fi. I'm curious to know what else you know about Archive Factor and how you're connected to it.

They then turned out to be crap guns, that got the Swampies killed when they tried to use them, and the gunrunner wanted to be out of there before that happened. That's not political at all, I'm sure. There was also a "Friends of Delta Minor" or something that was funding the Swampies efforts at revolution, but were humans living in Delta Magna in cozy homes safe from any violence. Again, not suggestive in any way.Blackadder42https://www.blogger.com/profile/09807768702984641640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051574527441977124.post-28681706139739024452019-04-19T14:08:47.382-05:002019-04-19T14:08:47.382-05:00BINGO!BINGO!Tallgeesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045006122540505779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051574527441977124.post-77549246965620072062019-04-19T10:08:04.164-05:002019-04-19T10:08:04.164-05:00Tekumel!
