Had another period-sf dream – This one was an Edwardian lost-civilization adventure. It wasn’t really steampunk, since most of the devices in it were human-powered (one involved a dance floor that functioned as a sort of giant treadmill); which might seem to be going backwards, but thematically the story (in the dream I was simultaneously reading, watching and critiquing) seemed to be about human potential – the hero looked like a jock, but was a Doc Savage type who was all about pairing mental and physical development. Unfortunately he was just as annoying as I’ve made him sound; it didn’t help that the only female character made Weena from The time Machine look like Marie Curie.

There's More History Going On

As Catherine Crockett over on Facebook put it, "the Libyan revolution was supposed to start Thursday, but it's happening now."
