My friends Gordon and David are visiting from Canada. Last night we met with my friend Alison at Baraka on Infirmary Street (a nice wee place where the lighting was mellow, the music not too loud, and the bartender nice to look at). Before long, the four of us dropped into a chasm of a conversation about supernovas, the nature of relationships, rainforests, and that gravity is, apparently, about to be rejected as a physical theory.
Somewhere inside this chat, Alison informed me that “Finity” (or rather “Finity’s End”) is the name of a spaceship in a famous Science Fiction series by C. J. Cherryh. So, to avoid confusion, I’ve changed the book’s title to Finitude — which I’m liking more.
Chapter One is now online for the advance readers (just e-mail if you’d like to join the group).
