Reading THE GHOST IN THE MACHINE,1967 By Arthur Koestler.
I've got that book (Gunpowder and embers) as an ebook in my TBR file.... it's on standby for 'some time'
Fantastic book. I read it oh so many years ago and it's one that I've often recommended to non-sf fans as a book to try.I'm now reading Timescape, by Gregory Benford, along with some other things, including a lot of short stories. Timescape is brilliant, and a worthy winner of the Nebula Award. I'll post more on it once I'm finished, but it's one of the finest hard-SF books ever written, I have no doubt.

Yes - one of the greats I think. I've been very impressed with the short fiction of his that I've come across in 1970s-80's Analog magazines, also. I really rate Benford.I think Benford had a streak where he was one of the foremost writers of s.f. It's too bad he isn't often mentioned now, at least not on the forums I'm aware of.

You got a title for that book, it sounds like an 'easy reading' that I'd enjoy
Cheers
