Photos of Hagia Sophia

I've never seen a photo that shows the way that building works:

The page also has links to photos of more architecture. Interesting.

1950s casual sexism: the girl gets married to the main boy; the girls work only as secretaries, etc.

His written stories did not strike me as carrying on the larger themes of "what is reality", but I never read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" or "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" to see how any story or book themes compare to the movies. His stories struck me as good old fashioned science fiction (from the '50s-'60s).

So bland, uninteresting female characters. Kind of like Hemmingway’s women?

In a hindsight kind of way, it is interesting to read sci-fi visionaries who predicted something miraculous but never foresaw women getting out of the secretarial pool. Robots that think for themselves – of course! Women who think for themselves – oh, come now, don’t be silly.

Somthing from before your time
