The Pornography Wars is now completed in its second draft. There is still much work to be carried out.
It has gone out to readers for feedback. When they have passed their views back I shall implement their suggestions.
Then we proceed to the editing phase!
That’s me looking pleased with myself as I apply the final touches to the second draft!

The Pornography Wars – A Sci-fi novel
The new Science Fiction novel is progressing well. I am currently 90 pages into my first draft.
I like to write fast while the ideas are flowing. I try to get a rough version mapped out. Then I go back to it, flesh it out and tidy it up. Then I edit it thoroughly.
I have drawn up a skeleton plan in order to give some structure to the plot. That works as a rough guide.
As I begin the writing the characters come to life and begin to affect the plot. Things change.
I have the ending written and am now on chapter eight out of twelve. I have so far written 33,000 words. This next section I am working on is in a flux. I’m not sure how it will resolve itself in order to get to the ending. But I do have an inkling!
The themes of the novel are fun. I had this idea of writing a story from an alien point of view – an advanced culture of aliens have discovered the Earth. Humans are still very much in their primitive hunter gatherer phase. The alien culture is obsessed with sex. They make the Earth into one huge film set. They control human beings who are made to star in a trivial pornographic soap opera – for mass consumption.
So far there have been seven series of this pornographic soap opera. The humans have been placed in various scenarios each with different levels of society and technology. As they are finely controlled they think it is real. However, all human history is nothing more than a contrived soap opera. Outside the set human beings are still primitive hunter gatherers. Human history is nothing more than a pornographic series of poor quality soaps.
One of the aliens is fed up with the pervading sexual content. She wants the media shows cleaned up.
The future of the show is in doubt.
We’ll see how it develops!
It’s the sixties – the three thousand one hundred and sixties. The Federation is in conflict with the Confederation. The Troman war rages. There is a civil rights issue with the Androvians. Youth all across the galaxy are in revolt. Rock Music, on an intergalactic scale, is the medium of the rebellion. Zargos Ecstasy and the Terminal Brain Grope are providing the impetus for the rebellion. Zargos, a larger than life character based on Bob Dylan, Hendrix, Jagger, Jim Morrison and Bowie, struts the stage, putting his poems to music and rousing the spacefreaks to seek social justice.
If you lived through the sixties you’ll recognise it all.
Amazon Customer5.0 out of 5 stars Green But Wise Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2016 Harrowing, timely and thrilling. An astute observation, written as fiction, into the potentially disastrous environmental impact of our present way of treating the planet. Set in the future, abounding in wonderful gizmos, women presidents, and disaffected terrorists, it is part philosophical text, part detective novel and all rip-roaring action adventure.
Highly recommended.
MA Robinson5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, fascinating and a story that held attention from beginning to end.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2019This was one of those books I couldn’t put down. Ron Forsyth writes with clarity and power creating a novel that is truly enthralling. The central character Helen is well drawn and bears witness to an ever greater threat to the planet. The author’s command of events and creation of characters, Eunice being a fine example, underpins the catastrophic journey through hope, science and eventually despair. This is more than a science fiction novel. The characters are well created and never superfluous to the dynamic pace and plot. The writing is powerful and emotions are evoked by the credible, though thoroughly undesirable occurrences. The author writes with authority, knowledge and clarity on the scientific basis of the events and their implication. I applaud that. His empathy and passion and an ability to hold me as a reader made this a great read. I highly recommend it.

Amazon Customer4.0 out of 5 stars Are You Being Watched?Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2018An ambitious sci-fi novel packed with serious ideas and amusing moments. The alien perspective on humankind is sometimes hilarious and often thought-provoking in this racy, zany and sometimes politically-satirical story. It’s never sentimental and creates convincingly detailed worlds, with a solid biological and scientific feel. The novel explores multiple viewpoints with the thoughts and reactions of a huge range of characters and I sensed many influences, from the American sci-fi greats to – particularly, I think – British writers like Douglas Adams and Michael Moorcock. But it’s never other-worldly and I liked it that the question of what it is to be human is central to this stimulating story.

Books
Orders down the lines they pour
As through the night the presses roar.
Into boxes neatly packed.
Onto pallets tightly stacked.
Into lorries, on to trains
And off down the tracks again.
Convoys trundle down motorway –
Huge loads of books to convey
To eager people who wait
To hear the rattle at their gate.
Best seller lists record the score
As books are sold to rich and poor.
Everything is put aside
As the pages open wide.
Avid eyes devour the text
Wondering what is coming next.
A smile, a nod an excited mind
Delighting in what it is they find.
The planet is saved and peace reigns
As Opher’s message is obtained.
The hatred dies and birth rates dip
As Opher’s logic passes lip to lip
Chimps, whales and rhinos heave a sigh,
Safe again under unpolluted sky.
All is well and happy once more
As Opher’s words touch to the core.
But wait!
The alarm rings
And kettle sings.
Awake again –
Different refrain.
Down some lane a lonely moped bumps
Driven by a woman down in the dumps.
Such a long way to have to go,
A dreary ride through rain and snow,
To deliver one lonely pack.
Then to the depot, heads off back.

Writing January 29, 2021
It seems to me that the driving force behind all technological and scientific development, as well as design, is imagination. Once something has been imagined by a human mind it inspires people to make it real.
The early Sci-fi writers described future worlds with sleek modernistic vehicles and spacecraft. They had descriptions of futuristic cities and travel between planets. In Sci-fi stories craft could journey faster than the speed of light, there were parallel worlds and different dimensions and universes. You could even travel through time.
Once the ideas have been invented human minds start working on them.
These days we live in the world that has been created by the ideas imagined in Sci-fi novels. The views of those early Sci-fi writers have been realised in the architecture and design of cars, in clothing and in materials used.
We have a a world revolving around computers, robots, satellites, mobile phones and rockets. We have been to the moon and are planning trips to the planets.
We have nuclear energy, supersonic planes and bullet trains.
Our physicists have discovered black holes, quasars and quantum. Polyverses are a real possibility and folds in space may enable faster than light travel.
We live in a world that people a hundred years ago would have considered impossible science fiction fantasy. If someone from 1900 was to come into our time they would be amazed. Our gadgetry would astound them.
It is quite likely that in another hundred years time many other Sci-fi ‘ideas’ might become reality. Perhaps advances in physics will enable us to journey through time or out to distant galaxies? Perhaps nanotechnology will alter engineering and A/I will have ushered in a new era of self-driven vehicles?
The world of the future will increasingly look like the descriptions in Sci-fi books.
I would suggest that it is the Sci-fi writers who have made it possible. They inserted the seeds of possibility.
If someone can imagine it then somebody else will eventually make it happen.
I write Science Fiction under the name of Ron Forsythe (My Dad’s first name and my Mum’s maiden name).
