The best Niven Story.
Revisado: 11-25-18
The Outer Limits episode didn't capture that Los Angeles feel that this story had. I felt like I was wandering through Los Angeles, given a guided tour by a native. Seeing the sights, and window shopping in the rain at Rodeo Drive. When I saw "Into the Night" with Michelle Pfeffer and Jeff Goldbloom some years later, I thought of this story as they went to many of the same places. I wonder how much LA has changed since this story was written as many big cities change. Landmarks disappear and places change and all those memories are gone. For those of you expecting the Outer Limits episode, you will be slightly disappointed. Unfortunately, the snowy climes of British Columbia where the show is filmed cannot replace Los Angeles for the sights and sounds. LA is a special place steeped in nostalgia and the movies and television have given us that city burned in our heads. This is a story of what someone might do on that last night on Earth. Its very much the story of a couple who wander around enjoying the sights and sounds of those special places they love. Grabbing a Hot Fudge Sundae and Irish Coffee before they become distant memories. Its still a love story, but very different from the episode depicted in the Outer Limits. In all it gets you thinking about what you would do that last night on Earth. Its a fantasy we all indulge at one time or another.

Like "Cloak of Anarchy", this story is peopled with fictional versions of several of Niven's friends. A discussion among friends about the theory of "Multiple Edens" suddenly becomes all too real, and the reason Tom Findlay has been asking such interesting questions over the years becomes clear.

Why I don't go out in the fog
Revisado: 11-25-18
This is the story that gave me a fear of fog. It really gives you pause to think. So when the fog is as thick as a cubic mile of cotton I tend to stay put. Lest the universe lines blur and I become stranded in one where they can't read minds.

One the best of Niven's Early works
Revisado: 11-25-18
This is one of the better of Niven's early works. Niven has that way of taking a premise and putting it on its ear even when he's the first one to do it. How does one wait it out for the years for rescue when one is sure to die? Niven's unique take on that premise becomes one of his better stories. Although written way before Pluto's moon was discovered and of course way before the New Horizon probe revealed Pluto's "heart" so to speak, he does get the absolute cold of Pluto down pat. Strangely enough a beast appears in this story which foretells one of the more bizarre photos to come from New Horizons. On the frozen plains of Pluto's heart one enterprising net viewer noted a large black blob in the crack of the hexagon plates of Pluto's heart. Could Niven have been right? Could this black blob be the result of a superconducting blob of Helium 3 and contaminants creating a living block of super cold liquids able to move about? Maybe, Maybe.... All we have to do is wait it out......
