_The_ monthly SF newsletter, written by DaveLangford and distributed in print and (for free) by email. It has been running discontinuously since 1979. - http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/SF-Archives/Ansible/ The archive - http://www.ansible.co.uk/ Useless page - http://www.ansible.demon.co.uk/ DaveLangford's home page I'd highly recommend subscribing: it's an unbeatable source of SF information. -- TA TheAnsible is named after the device described in UrsulaLeGuin's books (mentioned first in 'Rocannon's World' (1966)), which has subsequently found its way into the SF lexicon, turning up in the EndersGame books by OrsonScottCard, for example.
