yeremenko I believe as seems obvious that the ideas must precede the reality. Jules Verne imagined the submarine and so to must the space elevator be a step forward. The use of mind control devices such as psychotronic weapons is used by me in my book Doom Of The Shem. I love science fiction writing and think it is a great mind expanding genre. I am a humanitarian but agree with the concept of therio primitivism for humans and their interaction with other species. I have tried to use it as a motive in my own fiction writing. I have tried to show the fundamental horrors of not being ontop of the food chain in my novel called Doom Of The Shem. Doom Of The Shem is a science fiction novel that incorporates the horror of military action with the unavoidable hostilities that occur when an alien species invades a planet in search of food. The barbarity of war is brought to light by the work achieved by the nurses and medical personnel of the planets inhabitants. While a full blown military action story emerges from an ensuing war that involves the whole planet. It is especially centered on a squad of the planets army forces, who fight the alien invaders. These nasties try to subjugate captured species my genetic manipulation such as in Dr Moreau, and use these creatures to run fast food outlets across their empire, giving out a free plastic toy with every sale of a Happy Hatchling Brain Burger. doomoftheshem.blogspot.com

The rest of the Times article is worth checking out - there's a lot of cool information about space elevators and their potential development over the next few decades.

Maybe they won't always just be imagined. Going up...! (Too bad the accompanying illustration is a dead link.)
