Subject: RE: BS: Sci-Fi and/or fantasy authors
Last week I borrowed a classic from the Library - Robert Heinlein - The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. I just did a google search, the first result is a English language version of the book, the following 9 are foreign sites & versions??? I had expected to get Good Reads or similar English language sites, like Amazon, or Abe Books ... Tho there are 4 bookshop/online sponsored sites!
Now I know why - I missed this line - Tip: Show results in English. You can also learn more about filtering by language.
Well, I never, I didn't know one could filter - especially filter by language. Must be yet another example of AI, sigh, but maybe it's cos one of the main characters is a computer that develops consciousness, hmmm
It's a great book, published in 1966 & might have been mentioned in the past but I've not re-read the thread.
