	Jerry Pournelle
		Jerry Pournelle will, I am reasonably confident, go on forever, which means more strong sf like the "Janissaries" series, his collaborations with Larry Niven, Steven Barnes, Steve Stirling, Roland J. Green, Dean Ing, and more.
		I'm currently reading "The Legacy of Heorot" by Pournelle, Niven and Barnes, which seems to be shaping up nicely, with a beautifully realised first extra-solar colony (sponsored by the National Geographic) doing pretty well, but, as the people came to the new system in cold sleep, completely on their own.
		Niven and Pournelle were proposing that he meet with them for a couple of weeks and iron out a story outline.

		Everybody around the LASFS (Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society, of which I and Jerry are both members), is in the habit of calling him Dr. Pournelle, mostly, I believe, as a way of twitting him, since he's probably twitted them about something in the first place.

		Jerry has spent so much time in his CONFIG.SYS file you'd think he'd be an expert, but like the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew who remained perpetually the same age, Jerry remains perpetually a user, fascinated by the potential and frustrated by the shortcomings of computer technology.
		But Jerry apparently didn't read Alan's preface, where he clearly explains that he set aside plans for a how-to book, on advice from friends, to first write this book presenting the business case for interaction design.

	How Jerry Pournelle got kicked off the ARPANET
		Pournelle bids me tell you that if you intended to annoy him, you have succeeded, and that his next column in BYTE will have a lot to say about the ARPANET....
		This is only important if pournelle is going to say what I think he is going to say (what JMC told me pournelle was claiming), which is that the reason his account was flushed was because he favors the Strategic Defense Initiative, and MC is run by a bunch of communists.
		Pournelle claims that he heard at a science fiction convention that you (chris) had said that the real reason his account was flushed was that ``he (pournelle) is a fascist.'' Given the current political climate, this could raise some sort of ruckus, so it would probably be good to nip this in the bud.

	Dante's vs. Niven & Pournelle's Inferno
		Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle basically do this in Inferno, in which they send a science-fiction writer to Dante's Hell (after sending him to a ridiculous death) and see how he deals with it.
		This is more than a simple book "in which the authors introduce all their favourite characters from history, with a loose thread of plot." [Shippey] Niven and Pournelle not only provide new examples for the old categories of sins but also so change the entire atmosphere of Hell.
		Niven and Pournelle extend this s regeneration property to all of Hell; like Prometheus's liver which regrew every night to be picked out by eagles again, the damned have a continual miraculous healing so that they may be tortured for eternity.
