My Brother, I have been there. My Father went through it, I went through it several times and I am here to tell you right now - you can do this. I am so sorry this is happening to you; keep paddling to stay afloat, and never surrender to despair.

SF from the 40s through the 80s is my favorite type. Robert Heinlein and Vernor Vinge are 2 of my favorite authors.

My stuff will be right up your street, then!

For SF that fits that mold, start with either The Resurrection Junket (dark themes) or Hadrian's Flight (rollicking adventure).

For nonfiction, check iut The Secrets if the Heinlein Juvenile

Thank you so much!

There seem to be a lot of similarities in our backstories. Always glad to meed a fellow traveler :-)

Have you and/or are you going to restart the farm enterprise? We're starting to spin one up here (mostly subsistence, but we're also eyeing potential commercial angles), and would love to broaden the brain trust.
