M. Kornbluth. This evening I discovered your blog quite by accident, by "googling" Kornbluth. I am delighted that you have extended THE WAY THE FUTURE WAS in this format and look forward to reading more installments. All the best, Doug Dear Mr. Pohl,

Recently, my father and I were rereading Damon Knight’s THE FUTURIANS and got to talking about one of our favorite writers, C. M. Kornbluth. This evening I discovered your blog quite by accident, by “googling” Kornbluth. I am delighted that you have extended THE WAY THE FUTURE WAS in this format and look forward to reading more installments.

All the best,

Doug

My mother's primary family line is Byers - from Ohio (Springfield, in fact), and we still have a few (now remote) cousins still on the family farm. I enjoyed "The Way the Future Was" when I read it as a new release, and hope that you'll re-release it, with updates, before long. Re-releasing your tome on local politics ( maybe in a dual volume with Robert Heinlein's 'Take back Your Country' [that'd be the Ace Double of all time!]) would be fantastic. thank you; Richard G.
