I've seen advertising for a new movie that's coming out soon - "Civil War", set in a nightmarish near future America. I've been thinking of seeing it. Has anyone else seen it yet, and if so do you think it's worth the price of a...

I'm British, and I'm old enough to remember the Cold War - or maybe we should now be calling it Cold War 1, in light of current events. I was a young man when the Berlin Wall was knocked down. When I was a teenager, some people...

I'm still going through my large collection of Ace Science Fiction Doubles, that well-remembered series of paperback books that were published from the early 50s to the early 70s. For me, it's a classic era of SF, when books were...
