The Meaning - (and most basic contradiction) - of Life
In Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life, Eric Idle sang that we - "Better pray there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth."
Certainly, when we catalogue possible theories to explain the “Fermi Paradox” – or Great Silence in the universe (and I was the first ever to do so, in 1983) - we soon realize that there just have to be traps that snare and

I noticed you had a blurb for Hanson's Age of Em. Did you write anything more extensive about the work? I'd be interested in reading it, if so.

I enjoyed your quote from "Glory Season" about the 'practical things' you'd to ask the local wizard/sorceror to come up with.It reminded me of the advanced technological contributions to 13th century Poland provided by an inadvertent time traveller in "The Cross-Time Engineer" by Leo A.

Have you tried ny Jack McDevitt - his stories are a bit like a cross between Clive Cussler and Jack Vance, with the emphasis on Vance.
