Antivehicular posted:IIRC the chapter with the size-doubling pseudo-gravity also involved Adams asserting that evolution would be disproven in his lifetime, which is... a remarkable claim.

Tunicate posted:didn't he have a stroke or some other kind of brain damage in the early 2000s? He had some sort of sporatic or spontanious or something aphasia and I think like.... Some sort of motor issue that prevented him from drawing on paper, but he could draw on a cintiq?
