:  P.P.S.  The Ansible, something that coincidentally was just referred to here by Arin (I guess it's a fanzine or something...was confusing at first, as I thought something was about to be physically teleported across space without delay), is a sort of Macguffin in this otherwise socio-political anarchic allegory.  Called the Dispossessed, natch.

Technically, it's a semi-prozine (at least according to hugo category), 
but yeah, it's a fanzine ;-)

It's put out by Dave Langford, a very funny individual.  (He's got several 
books out, amongst the funniest of which are _The Leaky Establishment_ and 
_The Dragonhiker's Guide to Battlefield Covenant at Dune's Edge: Odyssey 
Two_, the latter of which has recently been republished in _He Do the Time 
Police in Different Voices_.  I'd also recommend the collection _The Silence 
of the Langford_.)
