Happy Birthday, John Varley! May your celebrations be as epic and imaginative as the worlds you've crafted in your Eight Worlds series. Here's hoping you party harder than a Titan from Gaea Trilogy—just remember to keep an eye out for any rogue sentient planets crashing the festivities!From exploring cosmic mysteries in Dark Lightning to envisioning apocalyptic thrills with Slow Apocalypse, you've consistently amazed us all. Your Thunder and Lightning tales electrify readers everywhere; may this birthday spark even more brilliant ideas (and fewer slow-moving disasters). Cheers to another orbit around our star filled with laughter, creativity—and zero gravity cake mishaps!
