Farmacopea fantástica: top 10 drogas en la ciencia ficción. La relación entre las drogas y la ciencia ficción es la de una pareja hecha en el cielo, las dos son senderos de exploración por las profundidades de la mente humana -universo adentro.
La cienca ficción, dicen, es en sí misma una droga, en lo que estimula la imaginación y borra las fronteras de la realidad hacia esa amplitud de la percepción donde el mundo son los mundos y las posibilidades son infinitas (azules como una naranja). Ambas permiten viajar sin tener que moverse, y quizá demuestran, al atravesar el universo en las páginas de un libro o en el humo de una pipa, el principio holográfico del cosmos: todo está en todas partes y en cada una: eterno cordón multiumbilical de Indra por el agujero de conejo hacia el Aleph -ubicuo útero- en la computadora cuántica del Hacedor de Estrellas. Carl Jung hacía una relación entre las drogas y el sentimiento religioso (océanico le llamaba Freud); la necesidad ancestral (astral) de drogarse es la misma sed de Dios. 10.

Quien recuerda es Álvaro Menen Desleal, narrador, dramaturgo y periodista, que, en un arranque de vanidad o inspiración, tuvo la osadía de fabricar para uno de sus libros una “carta” firmada por Jorge Luis Borges.
Kierkegaard dejó dicho que un prólogo es un impulso: como escupir por la ventana. Esta historia ya ha sido contada otras veces. La historia es esta: en 1962, Álvaro Menen Desleal ganó el segundo lugar (compartido) en el Certamen Nacional de Cultura de El Salvador con un libro que era todo un tributo a Borges. Mi querido amigo: Al conocer sus Cuentos breves y maravillosos, pienso que no fue meramente accidental que Kafka escribiera La Muralla China: se repite en usted la nota de lo que con Bioy Casares llamamos las antiguas y generosas fuentes orientales… Sr. Imágenes:

During this time no Novelette category was awarded and the Novella category had not yet been established; the award was defined only as a work "of less than novel length" that was not published as a stand-alone book.[1] In addition to the regular Hugo awards, beginning in 1996 Retrospective Hugo Awards, or "Retro Hugos", have been available to be awarded for 50, 75, or 100 years prior.
