ADDS BOOK TO CART, not that I have any time even for HPSc-related reading right now. See also: DeFillipo, Paul. "Sisyphus and the Stranger." Asimov's. Oct/Nov 2004. 54-63., which jwgh was kind enough to send me.

Also I wonder if Blondlot influenced Bruno Latour's pre-actor-network-theory philosophy about equipment and artifacts and naming.
