I'm excited for this Crowley project.
Can't believe I haven't ever linked to Gapminder. Here's one pretty interesting progression (click Play), showing birth rates over the past 40 years in the US, China, and Iran.
I took a screenwriting class from Crowley in college. Heckuvah teacher! (I, however, am not a heckuvah screenwriter.)
I disliked Crowley's Lord Byron's Novel, even though it was very good in many ways.
Life expectancy vs. fertility is definitely a good graph to look at. Watch how China moves between 1960 and 1965! But at what happens if you substitute in the population axis; it doesn't move much on in that dimension at all.
Well, it moves little if you switch to lin.
1: Really? It looks kind of silly to me.
I am still shocked!
Seriously, great work on the show.
Neurath is my favorite logical positivist, that's for sure.
12: But how was he on the accordion?
More members of the Crowley Cabal, hurrah!
(JM, The Translator is probably the most accessible; Little, Big is the one that will be around for centuries if there is any justice; the Aegypt sequence is rather daunting; while of the early, more clearly sf-nal novels, Engine Summer is the one that still stays with me nearly 20 years after I first read it.)
It's only silly if you dislike fine editions of good books. I suppose it also depends how you feel about Peter Milton.
Crowley is one of my favorite writers, but _Aegypt_ was probably the least enjoyable book I ever finished reading.
In emotional impact/word, I'd say _Engine Summer_ is actually better than _Little, Big_.
