Fred Saberhagen dies
Awwww.....sad =(
"One of the things that becomes harder as the world goes on is to draw the lines between human and not-human, between life and not-life. At one time in the past the lines were perfectly plain, or seemed to be, for Western man. Can they become invisible in the future? Fiction, and science fiction especially, is a good tool for asking such questions, and probably no good at all for answering them.
The berserkers know this much, at least, of life. That it must be destroyed..."
