Herbert Spencer (27 April 1820 – 8 December 1903) was an English philosopher, biologist, anthropologist, sociologist, and prominent classical liberal political theorist of the Victorian era. Spencer developed an all-embracing conception of evolution as the progressive development of the physical world, biological organisms, the human mind, and human culture and societies. He was "an enthusiastic exponent of evolution" and even "wrote about evolution before Darwin did."[1] As a polymath, he contributed to a wide range of subjects, including ethics, religion, anthropology, economics, political theory, philosophy, literature, biology, sociology, and psychology. During his lifetime he achieved tremendous authority, mainly in English-speaking academia. [mehr]

"The only other English philosopher to have achieved anything like such widespread popularity was Bertrand Russell, and that was in the 20th century."[2] Spencer was "the single most famous European intellectual in the closing decades of the nineteenth century"[3][4] but his influence declined sharply after 1900; "Who now reads Spencer?" asked Talcott Parsons in 1937.[ [mehr]

A collection of speculative stories about desperation, love, and human nature. Blood and Wires: After technological advances began to blur the line between man and machine, the world was unprepared for The Flare, an astrological event that left the atmosphere scorched and the world’s digital infrastructure severely crippled. Now, functioning mechanical implants that used to be common are the most desired commodities in demand. People fight for them. Kill for them. But as Adam and Thomas Carn find out during their search for their estranged father, there are worse things than marauders to be faced in the Post-Flare world. Of Mice and Men (and Cats and Rats): Aidan Chandler might be crazy, or he might be completely normal and it's everyone else who's totally mental. At the end of the day, he doesn't think it really matters. What matters is that the people only he can see, like the memory of his father's cruel words, won't leave him alone. But even that doesn't really matter now that he's got a plan. It's a plan that's brilliant in its simplicity, a plan that will silence both of his torments forever. Primary Directive: Judgment Day has come and gone in this second apocalyptic tale, and the verdict wasn't good. After a nuclear catastrophe wipes out most of the world, ailing roboticist Carlisle Evans and one of his earlier creations are among the few left in a world of marauders and ruins. [mehr]

For those wondering what this is, we over at Speculative Fiction Authors group started a game of sorts where we try to develop a story line by line. It works like this, one person write a line of a story in a thread and the next person writes the next line of the story. You can write however you think the next line might go. We continued adding lines until we had this story, or until the weekend was over, whichever came first. [mehr]
