Arthur C. Clarke is a devil.
He pushed his SPACE RELIGION on all of us, calling it SCIENCE FICTION, sending missives to his fellow SPACE WIZARDS, riding helicopters over their disgusting shrines.
Proposing one-world beast mark systems unequaled in human agony; a disgusting galactic nightmare of singularity enslavement.
Tracked and traced like goyim in a jewelry shop.
And all of you VACKED UP MORONS fell for it.
Arthur C. Clarke should be exhumed, his demon shaped remains put into a trash reactor, and used to heat a chicken farm.
I couldn’t stop reading this book.
GRADE-A TECHNO SPACE RELIGION.
Forgive me, FATHER.
THE SPACE ELEVATOR
Top floor in asynchronous orbit over the equator. Made possible through the magick of ZERO-Gee manufacturing process. Trademarked.
ONLY AVAILABLE IN SPACE.
Put ON your spacesuit and get to work.
Arthur C. Clarke.
Your future awaits in the VACUUM OF SPACE.
