@eviladrian: That may actually be the best example I have ever read!

@David Pasquinelli: There are greater than 6 billion Homo sapiens on this planet. The species has completely transformed the planet—so much so, that it has initiated a new *geological epoch*: the Anthropocene. It has created—from melted sand—machines that make it possible for you to communicate your opinions about…

@eviladrian: I miss those days, too. But those folks really didn't have the slightest grasp of how biology, technology, and sociology really work. Most of them were just hippies trying to hang on to the 1960s' air of limitless human possibility.

Whoah. I'm totally going to rip off Dixon and write a story from one of these dudes' perspective. Teleporting brain-pods? Psychokinetic postpostposthumans? RUNAWAY ORGANS? It's like this literally crawled out of *my* head. I'll gladly welcome a lawsuit, because this is too awesome to pass up.

I would KILL to see a Tycho Brahe biopic. As long as Christian Bale isn't picked to play Tycho.

Gods, I love 2012. Disaster porn at its FINEST.

OH! Or Robert Forward's Dragon's Egg. Cheela rule even *more.*

Get ye some Hal Clement. Mesklinites rule.

Well, first of all, I really, REALLY doubt that most trees are as close to Wi-Fi transmitters in the wild as the subjects in the experiment. Unless, of course, you just took a bunch of trees and ran Wi-Fi transmitter cable up their trunks to turn them into attractive hidden hotspots.

BURNED!

Wow. AWESOME. Analog synths will always sound like Music Of The Future to me.

Wow. I think I need more DMT in my system to properly appreciate the intricate subtleties of Coulthart's work—but I'm definitely buying that calendar.

Sounds like MY kind of future!

This looks like it's going to be just a fun, goofy, unapologetic comic-book movie. Hell. Yeah.

@ShubNecktie: Uhhh...really? Lots and lots of long exposition scenes? Have you ever read *any* of Lovecraft's longer pieces?

What a stupid move. All that's going to do is make more people resort to BitTorrent (which is totally cool with me).

The Amazingly Well-Equipped Bat-Man is the best thing I've ever seen.

HHHAHHHAHA. This is some brilliant writing. Her review of Wicked Beyond Belief is probably *the* best review of a serial-killer bio I've ever read.

I cannot cannot cannot WAIT for this book! I love Greg Bear, and this novel sounds like what Pandorum *should* have been. But with more shoggoths.

Really? *Really?* You expected something ELSE from this movie? Just LOOK at it—you could tell it was a SyFy Original writ large from, like, the very first frame! No one's going to see this thing expecting it to be Childhood's End Part 2 or some kind of Great Dramatic Presentation. They're going to see it to enjoy…
