Re: Asprey

[mildred_of_midgard]

Aha, we're talking Human Automaton Heinrich again, as in Kepler's novel and Koser's book.

Yep, that's that what I meant by "relying on the wrong sources," when I quoted the "cold fish" line. Hard agree with everything you wrote here.

...Why does everyone take Koser's evaluation of Heinrich's personality at face value and remember it forever, and nobody has noticed his brilliant takedown of Catt? GAH.

ETA: I meant to say, no, Asprey hasn't impressed me at all. Which is too bad, given the length and detail.
