I just hope they feel indulgent towards me.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The book itself weighs in at 340 pages &#8211; or 368, in the deluxe versions with bonus materials &#8211; with stories by many writers, including Jack McDevitt, Joe Haldeman, Peter Watts, Michael Swanwick, Tad Williams, the aforementioned David Brin and Gareth L. Powell, and too many others to list.  It&#8217;s quite a collection, and there are many more illustrators than me, of course.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3dartdirect.com\/blog\/archives\/1762\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/grafx2\/blog\/3D-art-Direct_magazine.jpg\" alt=\"3D Art Direct magazine\" width=\"249\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\"><\/a>It&#8217;s available in print (paper cover, or hardbound), as an E-Book, a PDF, and in pretty much any other format apart from Direct Neural Download which, in all conscience, I couldn&#8217;t recommend anyway.\n<p align=\"left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.starshipsofa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Starship Sofa<\/a> is (of course) the award-winning Science Fiction Podcast that I link to in my Humble Sidebar, which is on the left hand side of my blog&#8217;s main page.
