HG Wells Contest - No Sci-Fi Allowed
This isn't new or anything. It's a story from this summer that I just recently noticed. It's pretty funny, in a sad sort of way.

"Funny and sad"; I can only agree with you. But our Reg could have made the whole story even funnier.
He wanted texts to be hand-written, no Sci-Fi theme. Nice ideas. But he could have gone farther : texts hand-written without any Sci-Fi and WITHOUT any word.
That would be real science-fiction, huh ?
"Edwardian", says Eileen Reynolds at the end of the article. Maybe so. I would not be so nice. It makes me think of a song by John Mellencamp, goes like : "Life goes on, even when the thrill of living is gone".
You like Mellencamp, don't you? ;)
Boljemoï,how did you guess ?
