I actually liked this show back in 1985. I thought it was remarkably creative for its time. Today, looking back, I can now tell it was just as derivative and goofy as all televised sci-fi of the period...but it's still a lot of fun to watch!

Why do you think the web was born? Porn, porn, porn!

God's Demon was 10,000 kinds of Completely Awesome(tm). One of the best takes on life in the Pit I've ever read. However, you MUST own copies of Barlowe's Inferno and Brushfire collections to properly appreciate the visual experience of the novel.

Egan has an amazing facility at depicting the interface of transhumanizing technologies with everyday people. I question his choice of setting it in a country that is almost guaranteed to become a nuclear waste dump in the next twenty years, but hey...I haven't read it yet.

OMG, this is AWESOME!

I honestly cannot decide whether this is the most awesome thing in the universe, or the worst.

WE MUST REPEAT!

This reminds me a *bit* of Adam Roberts' On, in which gravity starts working *perpendicular* to the surface of the Earth and the whole world, in effect, becomes a big wall. That was kind of a neat novel—I liked the concept—but *this*? Uhhhh...no.

Gods of Chaos...*why?* I tried to read that brick of tripe years ago in college and didn't even make it to page 80 before I realized it was: A) horribly written; and B) chock full of utterly ridiculous ideas that read like Henry Clay Frick's masturbation fantasies.

Wrong. Some things *are* just silly. But that doesn't mean they don't have their time and place in fiction!

I *really* like the final pic, Number 14. Looks exactly like what I've always pictured a traditional Arabic/Persian ghul would look like!

The Googleplex will almost certainly be one of the first AIs to become pseudo-spontaneously self-aware, in that the search and organization engine of Google will progressively be engineered with more and more natural-language and semantic search capability until, eventually, a threshold for self-awareness will be…

DO!

You just gave me my Quote of The Day!

OK, this is actually beginning to sound like it may not be utterly horrible.

I really hope this is actually going to be a film. If so, it looks awesome!

I *love* Norton Ghost 15. I've been a Ghost fan since...hell, v5.0, I think—but 15 BY FAR has the best featureset for its price. I've got it backing up my C: drive *and* my media drive to a pair of in-house external 1tb backup drives every three days, and every month to a pair of 1tb drives that I keep at a secure…

Shit, bull-shit, and horse-shit.
