J.J.: Arthur C. Clarke wrote a novel set partly on Titan — a favored

tourist destination in whichever future year the thing took place. Some v.

good and plausible descriptions of Titanian geo- (or Titanio-) morphology.

The whole thing was tied up with the Bicentennial somewhow — I guess it

came out in 1976, and the future year was 2776 or something. I wish I had a

better memory for books.

Sir Arthur, by the way, is just fine out there in Sri Lanka, where he’s been

living for the past 40 yrs or so.

(He is of course a Derb fan )
