Farewell to a man of vision
One of the first “real” (meaning hardcover) books I received as child involved a multi-national group of astronauts, stuck on an asteroid while they mined for thorium. One of them was a Filipino. Just words, when you are seven years old, but a fine introduction to the world of science fiction. The world which we grow into, much like a pair of pants that are bought on sale by a parent, waiting for the inevitable; that we would grow into them. I’ve read hundreds of title since then. Only one has inspired iconic images.
