70 Years Ago Today

On June 8, 1949, a visionary science fiction novel was first made available for sale. Now, 7 decades later, our society is finally making that futuristic vision a reality.

Sadly, the book in question is not one of these.

Alas...



Indeed, modern technology has gone one better, allowing today's TruthyMinistries to edit or delete books that citizens already possess. This is just another example of where humanity has exceeded what was even conceived of by our forbears. 

Welcome to the future boys and girls. The world being created is more than just new, so you'd better be brave.

 It's NOT a how-to-manual! It's NOT a how-to-manual! It's NOT a how-to-manual!
It's NOT a how-to-manual! It's NOT a how-to-manual! It's NOT a how-to-manual!
It's NOT a how-to-manual! It's NOT a how-to-manual!  It's NOT a how-to-manual!
It's NOT a how-to-manual! It's NOT a how-to-manual!  It's NOT a how-to-manual!"
