The Feeling of Power
Carol, my dear friend out in San Francisco, and I were working on a project together in the Bay Area a few years back when she turned me onto a short story by Isaac Asimov she'd read in high school. The short story is called "The Feeling of Power". It was, of course, brilliant, and particularly apropos, but who would expect anything less from Carol?
I mention it now because my super-cool old college roommate Tom has recommended that I read "All You Zombies" by Robert A. Heinlein, which I intend to do over chicory coffee and Moravian Sugar Cake. Update: I read this short story by Heinlein, and I think I sort of half-understand it. I mean, I think I get it, but all the time travel and paradoxes are fairly confusing and I'm not as bright as I once was. The coffee and sugar cake were good though, and the story makes me nostalgic.
