: P.P.S. The Ansible, something that coincidentally was just referred to here by Arin (I guess it's a fanzine or something...was confusing at first, as I thought something was about to be physically teleported across space without delay), is a sort of Macguffin in this otherwise socio-political anarchic allegory. Called the Dispossessed, natch.
Technically, it's a semi-prozine (at least according to hugo category),
but yeah, it's a fanzine ;-)
It's put out by Dave Langford, a very funny individual. (He's got several
books out, amongst the funniest of which are _The Leaky Establishment_ and
_The Dragonhiker's Guide to Battlefield Covenant at Dune's Edge: Odyssey
Two_, the latter of which has recently been republished in _He Do the Time
Police in Different Voices_. I'd also recommend the collection _The Silence
of the Langford_.)
