| Rudy Rucker ( - ) http://www.rudyrucker.com |
"Rudy Rucker should be declared a National Treasure of American Science Fiction. Someone simultaneously channeling Kurt Gödel and Lenny Bruce might start to approximate full-on Ruckerian warp-space, but without the sweet, human, splendidly goofy Rudy-ness at the core of the singularity." --- William Gibson, author of Pattern Recognition
"Rudy Rucker is the most consistently brilliant imagination working in SF today" --- Charles Stross, author of Accelerando

| The History of the Peloponnesian War |
| Thucydides (460BC - 400BC) |
An influential classic and one of the earliest scholarly works of history. Enthusiastically embraced by the author's contemporaries and immediate successors. History gives an account of the war fought between the Peloponnesian League (led by Sparta) and the Delian League (led by Athens) in Ancient Greece. Unlike the many appearances the Gods make in the writings of Herodotus and the poems of Homer, Thucydides sees history as being caused by the choices and actions of human beings. |
