There's a thread going on about public libraries but I don't want to divert it.

George Griffith, anyone?

The first man, I think, to envisage the supremacy of those who grok the Internet, something he managed to do during the days of Victoria. All hail George Griffith, that's my opinion. I note his Wikipedia article mentions that other titan of the age, W. S. Lach-Szyrma the contemporary Anglican minister of Marazion and visionary writer of Science Fiction, only to highlight the fact that he (the Polish gentleman) hasn't even got a page to call his own.

Valdar The Oft-Born, now there's a novel and a half. Has anyone else even heard of it?

Frankly I'm kind of stunned I'm not familiar with him, I've been a life-long science fiction fan and have gorged on several public libraries' collections.
