Isaac Asimov

In his opening lecture, he said he liked economics because it was the real-world version of Isaac Asimov’s (fictional!!) concept of “psychohistory” (which the Foundation novels make clear is a bad thing!!!!!)

Philip Roth
Abraham Josephine “Josie” RiesmanAbraham Josephine “Josie” Riesman

Though I have my problems with Philip Roth, OPERATION SHYLOCK remains the final word on the ideas and emotions that wrack Israel, and the Palestinians. I’m glad I read it _after_ I’d already been delusional enough to think I had anything new to say about Zionism and occupation
