DI CASS NOVA
Pre-Capitalism
There are many hidden histories, and one of them is the reality behind
the years before undiluted capitalism comes to a State. In the US, it
was the time of Mafia; Britain had it in the 18th century, with
industrialisation proper following the famed crimewave. And as in
these, and so many countries, capitalism blooms once organised crime
‘cleans itself up’ and disappears into Big Biz.
EDITORIAL

THE NEW RACE
Fiction: It was a new kind of race. Was it due to meddling? Was
it inevitable it would happen? Was the way we treated nature
somehow to blame? But ‘… racing just isn’t as fast as in the old
days, before we changed,’ said the horse. His rival agreed as he
mounted the human.
THE SOLUTION
Planetary Security here. Flash Alert! –
Go ahead –
Malign internal terrorist threat, Category One –
That’s serious –
Human race creating planetary techno ecosystem –
Has it reached threat level? –
Many species dying. Climate irregularities. Planetary Genocide imminent –
Flash message – Self-suicide required. Target: Man –
The primary species didn’t want to do it, but there was little choice.
And little did man realise that, as he swam with the dolphins, the
cryptic message was getting through. And as man’s chemical cocktails
increased, they monitored the declining sperm count.
