Alternative Truthes Alternative Children Stories Alternative Amendments The China Syndrome is a 1979 American disaster thriller film about a television reporter and her cameraman who discover safety coverups at a nuclear power plant. The China Syndrome premiered at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the Palme d'Or while Lemmon received the Best Actor prize. The film was released theatrically on March 16, 1979, twelve days before the Three Mile Island nuclear accident. The Day After is a television film that first aired on November 20, 1983, on the ABC television network which clearly showed how now matter how you prepared, the chance of surviving a nuclear war is quite unlikely. http://www.bcubedpress.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_After https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident Click here to listen to other episodes of this series.​ ​ ​

It was every Sunday night the kids would remind me to play the stream as soon as it was available. Many a late night to bedtime had happened because of it. https://www.cbs.com/shows/star-trek-discovery/video/C27A0B2A-7159-3C7A-3EAB-B8A6D4FCB578/star-trek-discovery-season-two-premiere-first-look-trailer/?ftag=AAM-00-10afd3a Oddly enough there is a generation gap to those willing to pay for CBS-Access.

If you’ll indulge me, I’m going to borrow the idea of eras from science. These eras are independent of genre as genres are closely tied to the human condition at the time rather than the technology to produce story. I expect that the eras will continue to change faster as we speed toward the Singularity.  I offer free a poster of how the seminal work of a new scifi-genre  maps into an era. Eras Period BCE - 1450 ACE Description Ancient BCE-1450 ACE  Ancient Civilization Sci-Fi  & 1ACE - 1500 Monastic bible industrialization
