Alas! Those who have met Nyarlathotep no longer have souls.

Therefore, they became bankers.

Or even farther back: 1826 The Last Man by Mary Shelly. Alas, again no zombies.

A little earlier is 1949's Earth Abides, haven't read it in years, but I recall it as being very good. No zombies though.

A comment on that article claims "That image is from a Palestinian bomb factory" and includes an image link, but that seems broken at the moment. Using TinEye I found no hits on the image.

Ah, found it: http://www.apimages.com/Search.aspx?st=k&remem=x&entity=&kw=palestinian+bomb+factory&intv=None&shgroup=-10&sh=10

First two images on the list, different angles.

In this case, stay put, go public. Shadow organizations don't like the light.

If you run, you are separated from people who can support you. You lose access to your resources. If you run, you can be disappeared and no one will know, because you're on the run, right?

Since you're a witness - Let people know, tweet, do a blog about it. "Hey Joe, I saw the damnedest thing..." By doing this you have already accomplished the thing they wanted to prevent - your talking about it. Taking you out then is counterproductive. Taking you out would increase scrutiny of whatever you saw.

At this point you can sit back and wonder if they were really out to get you, or were you just paranoid. Hopefully you'll never know.

Mayflies was really good, about a generation colony ship run by a brain-computer.

I think his most chilling was War of Omission which was based on a device that could remove things from space-time entirely, so that they never existed. Not even a memory is left behind. Brrr.

I'm going to add C.L.Moore as under appreciated, then saw that Lewis Padgett was a pseudonym for her collaborative works with her first husband.

Her "Vintage Season" has stuck with me to this day.

I actually think it would take longer to copy it than to make your own.

And its so minimal that given the same variable names I can see multiple students in the same class coming up with the exact same function, except for spacing.

By his graph, it looks like he's saying that he waited until almost at the stop sign, sneezed and slammed on the brakes, came to a stop of zero duration while obscured behind another car stopped at the stop sign, then gunned it to cross the intersection.

And that the officer totally missed the difference in position between a car that sails through an intersection as opposed to one that both decelerates to a full stop and accelerates fully up to speed over a period of about 3 seconds,

Hmmm. Maybe...

But I'd really like to see this demonstrated. It would make an interesting project. Mythbusters?

"Lord of Light" is fantastic. I'd also add "Dilvish the Damned" to the list.

Nice tagline... now I'll have to re-read that book.
