Did anyone other than me notice the passing of a great sci fi writer. Phillip Jose Farmer? "Maker of Universes," "Gates of Creation," etc? Has no one else read him?

Aye.. he died a couple weeks ago. I love his Wold Newton Universe. It's like one huge fan fic that connects every novel and tv show ever written. Like Hulk being a descendent of Dr. Jekyl and being a cousin of Lois Lane. Or Spock descended from Dick Grayson (Robin/Nightwing) and Sherlock Holmes (who also has MacGyver and Bruce Wayne among his descendents).

I like the tier worlds. And scifi did descend from him. Heinlein, esp. And Star Trek. Gene in his got to make some money in hollywood days must have read Pjf's parallel universes.

If you read my post you'd clearly see that I know who Phillip Joseph Farmer was. What with me being a fan of his Wold Newton Stuff.

Didn't mean you. You get it that he gave some ideas to sci fi of today.
