XIII Mandatory , Obligatory , Psionic Stuff Whomsoever dieth with the most toys doth winneth the game .
Ok , this is still a book about psionics so you have to read this , even if you already know it . Besides , as my words are as golden drippings from the nose of God , you will want to read them anyway . Other than that , even if you have read my other works and you probably have a considerable arsenal by now , there is going to be some new stuff as well as a short rehash of the older .
Psionics is doing psychic stuff , usually with the aid machines of some kind . Now , there is a debate as to what constitutes a psionic device . Some of the really old-fashioned folks hold out for the good , old , radionic boxes and I can ' t blame them . I like the good , old radionic boxes .
