panniers go on the back of a bike
to carry stuff. I think they were invented a long time ago

this is probably true. Especially as, after one cappuccino I'm caffiene crashing
looks interesting, optimism is the new pessimism.

He spoke engaginly and with infectious enthusiasm
enough for me to spend £12.99 on his book and ad my name to the mailing list for his League of Pragmatic Optimists. It may be all tosh, but it's nice to hear some one with a positive view of both the future and the things technology has done and can do for us. It reminded me of what I enjoyed about reading sci fi.

I don't think I've read anything with a proper Utopia in it for ages. Working through the Oxford book of science fiction, so there must be one inthere, it was big in the 60s

Have you read Iain Banks' Culture Books

Tomorrows world was pants, but I know what you mean.

I have read all of them, yeah I suppose that is utopia
I'd not thought of it like that so much, I always associate utopia with cloying do-gooding futures, like Ursula le Guin. Banks does it with way more flair and doesn't claim it to be completely flawless.

I was not slagging her off as such
but her utopias are unsustainable. Also that Earthsea business was dull.
