Notes From A Master
Frederik Pohl is one of the few surviving members of science fiction's Golden Age elite and the only one to maintain a blog. I spent some time perusing it today and it's filled with wonderful stories about his friendship with Isaac Asimov, the rapid rise of the science fiction publishing scene, and his own career as a writer and futurist. Pohl is 90 years old and still writes with clarity and verve. Some SF writers are cranks and misanthropes, but Pohl's blogging has the same compassion and wit that made Gateway one of my favorite books. I hope he continues posting for a good long while.
