The original James Bond novels written by lan Fleming have not aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago, in April 1955 - features a villain who is both an ultra-rich industrialist and a rocket builder out to wreak havoc because he's actually a secret Nazi. What an absurd idea!
