It's supposed to be a general intro to science fiction, but it does emphasize cyborgs, gender, and weird fiction.

Did not know this about Old Bay
The origins of the company can be traced back to Wertheim, Germany, where Brunn started a wholesale spice and seasoning business selling to food industries, seeing an opportunity as spices were in especially short supply amidst hyperinflation in the aftermath of World War I. 9] Due to rising antisemitism as the Nazi Party rose to power, the company moved to Frankfurt, Germany; 1°1 however, on the night of November 9, 1938, a massive pogrom against Jews, known as Kristallnacht, led to Brunn being arrested by Nazi soldiers and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp. " According to Brunn's son, Gustav's wife paid a large sum of money to a lawyer for him to be released; as they had already applied for and received American visas, they were able to escape with their two children to New York City and later Baltimore, Maryland, where Brunn had family.!'! There, having brought with him only a small spice grinder, 8! Brunn founded the Baltimore Spice Company and produced the "Delicious Brand Shrimp and Crab Seasoning", which was later renamed Old Bay. 12[13]

every king in pre-industrial history would have paid every penny they could find to have a motor vehicle. and every king in history would have failed to come even close to being able to afford it, even if the knowledge of how to make them had existed.

that’s how much wealthier we are today.

“Dorfmeister” in English would be something like “champion of the village” so to call yourself that implies, in his case, that he won the electronica competition at a village fair. I don’t think “Kruder” means anything, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he won a few village electronica contests as well
