Some books remain relevant no matter how hold they are. Some books move in and out of relevance with changing time as old bad ideas keep rising their ugly heads. If you don't have a copy of "A Step Farther Out," you will not be learning history, you will be repeating it:

Alternatively, google for fourmilab.ch - I couldn't get fourmilab.ch homepage to load in Google Chrome till I googled it and clicked from there.

Guys, I hate to tell you this but Pournelle is a former Libertardian who now is a royalist.
I'm not kidding this guy wants a king to run the US.
Really.
The Step Furthur Out looks like the one after the end of the gangplank.
Understand me: Pournelle is a great science fiction writer and I enjoy his stuff. Own a fair bit of it actually and reread it. I can give no higher compliment.
I never ever ever however mistake it for reality.
