Very sad to learn of Ian Watson’s passing.

I translated one of Ian’s stories to Polish, „The Tale of Trurl and the Great TanGent”, a homage to Stanisław Lem’s Cyberiad.

I think I last saw him in person at Pyrkon in Poznań two years ago.

I read "Slow Birds" by Ian Watson, the third story in The Year's Best Science Fiction: First Annual Collection, earlier today. It kind of blew my mind. It's very British. The setting is an Earth with pre-20th-century technology. People live in small villages and don't appear to have much awareness of life beyond their own locality. It opens with a May Day fair and race in which the 5 local villages participate.
