"Did Germany learn from the Hundred Years’ War, or we from Hiroshima?"
A whoops in Poul Anderson's "Marius."
No, since the Hundred Years' War was between England and France.
If they learned from the Thirty Years' War is a more useful question.

It was January 2021, and Rick Deckard had a license to kill. Somewhere among the hordes of humans out there, lurked several rogue androids. Deckard's assignment--find them and then..."retire" them. Trouble was, the androids all looked exactly like humans, and they didn't want to be found!
OK, you're going to have to forgive me for what I'm going to say next.. I didn't actually know (or remember!) Blade Runner had an inspiration from a book 🙈 I'm going to forever crawl into the uncultured hall of shame hole for this, I know. But, maybe finally reading this book fixes a little bit of that, right? Right?
The resemblence is clear of course, and as I was reading the book my mind was going "wait what, they just made the movie out of the book!". But of course it's also not a direct adaptation.
Really great book in any case, happy that I finally got around to reading this classic.
हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
