A ShortHistory of the Future is a book by W. Warren Wagar which was first published in 1989 and underwent two substantive revisions 1992 and 1999 . It is a fictitious narrative history of the ensuing two centuries, from the vantage point of the year 2200. The first version imagined a far more prominent role for the Soviet Union, which collapsed shortly after the publication. The final revision incorporates a brief section on the year 1989 as a revolutionary year . Content The first section deals with the present time leading up to Wagar s idea of the seminal event of the 21st Century a devastating nuclear conflict between Europe and the United States which is subsequently known as the Catastrophe . What emerges after the Catastrophe is a socialist world government, which lasts for the next hundred years until the Small Revolution of the late 22nd century, the description of which closes the book. Central to the philosophy of the world Commonwealth Government which rises after the Catastrophe is what Wagar calls Substantialism . Wagar once stated that what he called Substantialism in the book was his recasting of the ideas of Jean Jaur s . Theoretical perspectives Each chapter of A ShortHistory of the Future concludes with a selection of a diary or correspondence to give the reader a sense of the daily life of the related periods. Along with the socio political developments of the next two hundred years, Wagar also tries to imagine the consequences of Space colonization solar system colonization , the extension of the life expectancy toward 175 years, and the revision of such things as the education system and professional work. As a historian, Wagar essentially wanted to write a book in which one could fully explore what living in a truly socialist world might be like ...

Closure A Story of Everything is a philosophical description of the world put forward by Hilary Lawson . It is an attempt to provide an account that overcomes the problems of self reference inherent in other philosophy philosoph ical systems. The theory of closure provides a new vocabulary with which to do this. In so doing it manages to provide a way of holding the world without need for a recourse to truth. The resulting framework offers new approaches to the central questions of contemporary philosophy the character of language and meaning, of the individual and consciousness , of truth and reality. It has consequences for the understanding of the science s and also accounts for the need and desire for both art and religion. It provides a new description of the organisation of society. The theory of Closure is self referential with the consequence that the theory of closure does not offer final answers but a temporary resting place ref Closure, Routledge , UK, 2002, page 324 ref . The book has been controversial. Its followers have heralded it as significant step forward. Radical theologian, Don Cuppitt, Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge , described Closure as perhaps the first non realist metaphysics ref http www.amazon.com Closure Story Everything Hilary Lawson dp 0415136504 ref .

Searchlight is a very short science fiction story by Robert A. Heinlein about a little blind girl whose spaceship crashes on the Moon . The search for her takes advantage of her prodigious musical ability to locate her. It was originally written in 1962 as part of an advertisement for Hoffman Electronics. Heinlein says that because it was so short it was much harder to write than writing novels. Perhaps because of this, it was the last shortstory Heinlein wrote the remaining quarter century of his career was devoted to writing novels and non fiction essays.
