Read  chapters  1-4,  or  "Part  1",  of  Schismatrix.  From
Lindsay's  release on  Zaibatsu through  the sale  of ESAIRS
89-XII as a work of art.

Not  being an  avid or  well-informed reader  in the  sci-fi
genre (I only  read a bit of sci-fi from  time-to-time) I am
not qualified  to give any  sort of review or  critique. And
considering  that  the book  was  first  published in  1985,
sufficient  information is  available for  the curious  who,
like me, still haven't read it.

I'm  pleased to  get up-to-speed  on the  backstory of  the 
outpost that is circumlunar.space.                          

On this  gopher hole  I started by  having phlog  posts that
attempted to  bring in some fictional  thought, very loosely
tied into circumlunar space,  having only read the backstory
on the  server. If it  continues to amuse me,  I'll continue
doing the  same sort of  thing after having read  the actual
story.  In any  case, it's  a pleasant  exercise, and  I can
always use more exercise.
