=====> I first saw this on the day it was posted. At that time
my intention was both to tell Dr Wagar how much I had enjoyed
his book and to forward his appeal hither.
Well, I spaced out both efforts, but, having just wrapped up
the former, below I offer the fruit of the latter.
I hope to discern an unmistakable pen-l imprint on the next
edition of the Short History.

Subject: Third Edition of A SHORT HISTORY OF THE FUTURE
In-Reply-To: <Pine.SOL.L3.93.970708132955.11782C-100000@bingsun1>
Dear WSN'ers:
The University of Chicago Press has agreed to bring out a third
edition of my A SHORT HISTORY OF THE FUTURE, to apppear in the summer of
1999 and take advantage of pre-millennial fever. A SHORT HISTORY has the
strange distinction of being the world's only world-systems novel.
I will not have a chance to make any extensive or fundamental
changes in the text, but I can rewrite a few lines here and there,
especially in the near-future segment, "Earth, Inc." Some near-future
"facts" and "dates" will obviously need work, although I'm not sure that I
have to rewrite the Pakistani-Indian nuclear war of 2000!
If you have any suggestions for changes and revisions, I would
very much welcome them. Here's your chance to help rewrite future
history!
Thanks.
Warren Wagar
