Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

I always thought that was common knowledge given the way he just appears and disappears!
Putting aside the “separated at birth” moment, thank goodness “Stars My Destination”/”Tiger, Tiger” is back in print. At age 14 I spent some hours straining to “jaunt” when I could have been advancing my education with ‘Playboy’.
I recently was asked by a literate 14 year old what were, in my opinion, the best SciFi novels. My answer was “Stars . . “/”Tiger, Tiger” and Iain Banks’ “Consider Phlebas”. The latter, and its Culture successors, present a full realised universe, with deep philosophical underpinnings. Pressed for a third, I added the original “Ringworld”.
