Overview

Six "old fashioned" speculative fiction short stories: no supernatural battle climax!

- A countryman wants to live in a city of tommorrow. If he wants to be a citizen he needs to start some kind of business. Cats are the solution to his problems.

- What is going to happen with the Nobel Prize for Physics?
Well stay tuned: this scenario will certainly come true!

- Imagine the US with the metric system and a National Health Service! (Ok this one is farfetched!)
The real problem is how to deal with all the senior citizens: we need robots to care for them ... but they are not fond of robots.

- Problems with the banking rules for a limited but growing economy on a Mars colony.
Watch for the police chiefSuperIntendent Toorpikaï and the eclectic members of the Ares Constabulary: financial criminals beware!

- Everybody is a contractor and is judged by clients' evaluations, is that efficient?
(you'll probably think it's not fiction ... and you may be right!)

- An alternative version to 1001 nights!
Not science-fiction but stories from the past may explain today's events in the city of Basrah.

About the Author

Member of the French baby-boom generation (1948), Gascon by birth and culture (you know these guys in the 3 musketeers!), raised in Morocco. Has been teaching mathematics, building houses (as an architect), implementing programming languages and tools (as a software engineer). Usually write technical books on programming but has been indulging in Science-Fiction for a long time ... He lives in Paris (France), plays the flügelhorn in various brassbands (though he does not know a thing about music!) and is an avid practitioner of mountain unicycling. Apparently stuck in the sixties because he is unable to read science-fiction written after 1980 (except some Jack Vance books)... Does not want to use tools like #!%Word: types everything using VIM! (and would like editors to consider docbook format submissions)
