That would be because thats what some of the static on your TV is!! The joys of Physics
Soon we'll be out, amid the cold worlds strife,
Soon we'll be sliding down the razor blade of life

I read only the first sequel of Rama. it goes on for a couple more, doesn't it?
Yes, there was, at least, a Rama II (maybe also another one?).

Anyway, the '70s clearly were the best years of science fiction: they even managed to make some predictions about the future which, sadly, have become quite true.

And equally sadly, the positive utopias don't seem to have materialised - yet!
