This is the introduction and index to ideas I started working on 30 years ago, and have summarised at http://www.writesight.com/writers/rodsroom/ (don't forget to click on the 5 Sample Articles in the upper left of that page). I'm no fan of commercialism (my book explains that the world is, incredibly, headed for a money-free future): and I'm pleased to be able to offer all my writings without cost. (I hope they're free forever!)

(SHORT ARTICLES/POEMS/STORIES THAT
SPECULATE ON THE FUTURE AND SEEK
TO COMBINE SCIENCE WITH MEDICINE
AND IDEAS WHICH HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
REGARDED AS BELONGING TO RELIGION OR SCIENCE FICTION)
Who wouldn’t love to believe the things we see in the “Star Trek†movies and TV programs are real? We could have warp speed, time travel, matter transporters, alien intelligences, a world without the worries of money, the creation of new planets, and so on. We’d have to move further ahead than the Star Trek years to find worldwide and universal peace, but I think all Trekkies would agree that Mr. Spock and his friends are slowly groping towards peace.
Well, people tell me it’s the 21st century. That’s what my calendar says - but everywhere I look, people are behaving as if it’s still the 20th century. Maybe they’ll catch up to the calendar in 20 or 30 years. In the meantime, we’ll pretend a new age has dawned - and we’ll explore how the science of the early 1900s (represented by the theories of Albert Einstein) can be united with the entertainment of the late 1900s (represented by the phenomenon of Star Trek).
&#61623; Amazingly; I read in a magazine about 10 years ago that Gene Roddenberry (Star Trek’s creator) received information from an extraterrestrial civilization about the fantastic possibilities in the show. He then took these and created his inspiring, futuristic program. At the time, I thought this was nothing more than an interesting magazine article. It sounded like science fiction then, and it still sounds like sci-fi. But at the same time, I’m willing to believe he really did experience some kind of vision - something that suggests Star Trek deserves serious thought, and is more than the product of a wonderfully creative imagination.
Do you remember the episode of “Star Trek: The Next Generation†where a woman from a comparatively primitive planet was transported aboard the spaceship Enterprise, and was overwhelmed by the sight of her world shining among the stars? Captain Picard explained that he and his crew don’t regard the woman and her kind as children. They are respected for who they are - people whose civilization just happens to be very young compared to that of Picard and his crew. In time, the woman’s civilization will learn, and be able to do all the things that presently cause her to think of Picard as a god.
