Vorga, You Need To Work At It

Good Old-Fashioned British Compromise, Hmmmm?

Although quite how Alfred Bester would have conjured up his novel "The Stars My Destination" with a baseline premise like this is questionable; it would probably have turned into an introspective character study dealing with anomie, angst and alienation, set in the dystopian hinterlands of Upper Dymchurch. Or something. Art!

Upper Dymchurch.
(They ignored planning permission)

As the doggerel goes, "Gully Foyle is my name, and Terra is my nation. Deep space is my dwelling place and the stars my destination." Okay, spurn the dystopian hinterlands of Upper Dymchurch, then, see if I care.
