WASP is not a book that necessarily has to be science fiction or fantasy by its basic premise, as say DONOVAN'S BRAIN or DARKER THAN YOU THINK are. So the agent is called a wasp, and wasp imagery is repeatedly used to reinforce the point. "Neverthless, that wasp killed four big men and converted a large, powerful car into a heap of scrap." In a similar way, a single clever agent provocateur with a plan can start the downfall of a military regime. The essential theme of the book is presented in having a tiny wasp, less than half an ounce in weight, sting at just the right moment. As it is, my stack of books to be read is taller than I am at this point.) (As an aside, I picked up a copy of the slightly abridged 1971 Bantam edition because, hey there it was, and if I waited to find the longer version, I might never get to read it. "The Terran agitator was the sting to cripple the invincibility of the Sirian empire", hmm doesn't look like anything special, I would have mistakenly thought. Eric Frank Russell's SINISTER BARRIER I had heard about, because of its Fortean themes and I would likely have read it at some point, but his later book WASP would have been just another title in a long row of science fiction books. I want to thank all who recommended this book. 7/8/2023 0 Comments Discworld sourceryHad he used the elevator, the whole science of genetics might have been a good deal different. The shape of DNA, it is popularly said, owes its discovery to the chance sight of a spiral staircase when the scientist‘s mind was just at the right receptive temperature. Something goes click inside the observer's head and then everything falls into place. There's a lot of spadework first, of course, but what clinches the whole thing is the sight of, say, a falling apple or a boiling kettle or the water slipping over the edge of the bath. “It is a well-known established fact throughout the many-dimensional worlds of the multiverse that most really great discoveries are owed to one brief moment of inspiration.

Plus, most people have a plethora of things to manage back at home too, whether it’s caring for kids or an elderly family member, keeping up a social life, allocating time for hobbies, so they don’t get burnt out, etc. This is largely due to the fact that there are no clear boundaries when it comes to working anymore - working over the weekends is common, being available nearly 24/7 is expected due to smartphones, and so on.
