(1) Is anyone else not seeing the 27 comments currently
promised on the page? And (2) It's _Simulacron-3_ as
I understand.
I don't know how you forget one particular story by
Katherine Maclean.
http://youtu.be/uTyeLJtOprE
is something I've recently seen on the subject.
I looked at that, and couldn't connect it with any Maclean story.
The "forgotten great" I had in mind is
"Pictures Don't Lie". But there are differences.
It may be coincidental.
"Pictures" has a time element, which Star Trek used once.
And there's a Deep Space Nine episode, "Bar Yvggyr Fuvc"
(ROT13 unfortunately makes rude-looking words today,
or pethaps that's me). Different outcome.
"Pictures" was an "X Minus One", and ISFDB apparently notes
a Project Gutenberg e-text as a "chap-book".
Perhaps in this context it means pictures are included,
which they are. The translated titles I can puzzle out
mostly mean "Pictures Don't Lie", but in French it's
"Voir, C'est Croire", which seems rather jolly
(seeing is believing).
Unfortunately, Google results indicate it's half of
a prominent remark by the Marquis de Sade, and in
/that/ context - which I'm not pursuing - probably
not jolly at all.
Post by Dorothy J Heydt*My* favorite Maclean story of all time is "The Trouble With
Treaties."
I may have missed that; it doesn't seem to be
over-anthologised - it's not at Gutenberg, and
perhaps shouldn't be, I haven't done the calculation.
And, since she's still alive, it is copyrighted
in the United Kingdom. But I probably can obtain
one of the collections.
