It's a fact that many inventions and discoveries were preceded by mention in science fiction novels. Now, OSC is to blame.

I think this idea has been around much longer than SFTD.

Anne McCaffrey used subvocalization in the Ship Who... books and possibly also the Talent books. I'm too lazy to look at copyright dates.

This one has pretty pictures, but the UK titles.
quote:
The Ship Who Sang (1969)
To Ride Pegasus (1973)
This one is alphabetical.

This one has mini fora for each book.

See, now you're just being mean. Except I like Anne McCaffrey, too. But I hang out at OSC's forum, so he's gotta win.

STOP CONFUSING ME!

Does this one count? I think it was an Alfred Bester novel, where a man wanted to kill someone, and he was advised to repeat over and over in his mind: "Tension, apprehension, and dissension has begun." This was intended to block telepaths from reading his mind and alerting the police.

This particular meme has infected my mind for some thirty years now. Can't get rid of it. Thought I'd share it with you. [Big Grin]

quid, so I shouldn't mention that I'm fairly certain that subvocalization showed up in SF long before OSC or Anne McCaffrey used it? [Wink]

No, rivka, you shouldn't. And even if you were to tell me that, I would flatly, firmly, and vehemently deny it. In the strongest terms possible.

I WILL have my delusions!

Consider it unmentioned. [Big Grin]
