Often when I read science fiction I tend to read the classics like, H.G.Wells, or Arthur C. Clarke. There is something about their style and storytelling that I find enduring and even attractive.

Our world, the Earth, has limited magic due to the lack of Springs. But this does not stop our business consultant, [...]

Well that hope was short lived.
