Zeno's Ravens: A Philosopher Tells Tales

By Dr Ray Scott Percival

Henry Wiggins' old valve-radio set crackled in the night. "Researchers find that ravens have a theory of other minds," the radio host announced.""What on Earth does that mean, Henry?" Martha, Henry's wife, asked. "You and your silly science channel."Hard science fiction short stories with a hint of science fantasy, for your commute or lazy Sunday morning coffee. The tales are a mixture of apocalyptic alien invasion, romance, laughter, sexual enticement and sinister retribution. The stories explore cultural issues and the future of humanity-the global alarmism of Greta Thunberg, the scarcity of resources, the Enlightenment-from a philosophical angle. They feature thinkers such as Sir Karl Popper and David Deutsch FRS.Read one with your fresh morning coffee-or tea-and you'll have enough to enliven your thoughts and conversation with friends that week with the state-of-the-art ideas and enigmas.
