ISSUE TWO

There are writers who have allowed their imagination to be stimulated by what is possible. They have dreamed; they have looked into the future. And what have they seen? Fabulous palaces, buildings, entire cities, devoted to pleasure, cosmic excursions. How many of them have tried to picture what would be in store for everyday life, if bit by bit it were to be raised to the level of what modern technology and science allows. If wealth and power were no longer outside of the community; if those cancerous monstrosities, art for art’s sake, thought for thought’s sake, power for the sake of power over men, were to disappear?
