From: Keith F. Lynch <KFL@MIT-MC.ARPA> Forward's "Dragon's Egg" concerns beings made of neutronium and/or degenerate matter. Stapledon's "Star Maker" includes (among other things) beings that are stars, and beings that are galaxies. I believe that this is the first mention of such things (1937). This is also the book in which 'Dyson' spheres are first mentioned. ...Keith
