Staying in the same vein as the last couple of posts, here’s an oldy but goody. Hey, maybe the reason Card hates Star Trek so much is that they used up all the easy ideas and made sci-fi authors have to work for a living? Oh, wait, that was Arthur C. Clarke. In fact, I have no doubt that Clarke thought of truck-mounting a wide-field microwave array and pointing it at humans back around 1955.
