Wow that's the unvarnished truth, huge corporations do own the politicians.

thanks for posting these, they're a true goldmine.

though i think sci-fi authors should be spared tv appearances... why do they all have parted hair, googly specs and checked shirts? lol - at least gaiman manages to pull it off later on (though he looks slightly pallid and creepy here)

I think that Kim Stanley Robinson presents something that is more tangible than other utopias disscused, he seems to describe a soceity using anarchist communist principles.

Also is it just me or are his eyes really hypnotic?
