THIS WAS A GOLDEN AGE, a time of high adventure, rich living,
and hard dying . . . but nobody thought so. This was a future of
fortune and theft, pillage and rapine, culture and vice . . . but nobody admitted it. This was an age of extremes, a fascinating century of freaks . . . but nobody loved it.

All the habitable worlds of the solar system were occupied. Three
planets and eight satellites and eleven billion people swarmed in one of the most exciting ages ever known, yet minds still yearned for other times, as always. The solar system seethed with activity . . . fighting, feeding, and breeding, learning the new technologies that spewed forth almost before the old had been mastered, girding itself for the first exploration of the far stars in deep space; but- “Where are the new frontiers?” the Romantics cried, unaware that the
frontier of the mind had opened in a laboratory on Callisto at the
turn of the twenty-fourth century…

Once again, there’s buzz in Hollywood about a major film studio trying to film Alfred Bester’s “The Stars my Destination” (1956).

The story has been rejected as “unfilmable” by many potential producers, but with today’s SFX and experience it should be possible. Let’s just hope that one, they do it, and two, they don’t screw it up by dumbing it down for subhuman millennial audiences. Vorga. I kill you filthy.

Who would play Gully/Geoffrey? I say Brad Pitt, Vin Diesel, or maybe Bruce Willis. What say you, Zoners? And Olivia Presteign? Either Cate Blanchette or Gwyneth Paltrow? Damn it. I can’t wait.

Gully Foyle is my name
And Terra is my nation
Deep Space is my dwelling place
The Stars my Destination.
