I *love* Brave New World, but her version sounds even cooler than the real thing! And I've never been a fan of Fahrenheit 451—if it were about a giant flaming robot, I'd probably read it cover to cover in a night.

You and I both.
I firmly believe that Will Smith can do no wrong...but this may be the first time he actually does, because that idiot Shyamalamadingdong is involved.
This just looks...amazing.
I would kill to see a Revolt of the Stepford Wives movie. Especially if they all start dressing like Barbarella and following the orders of an upgraded Stepford Wife Model 4 called Ms. Stein M.
I demand nothing more nor less than complete immersion! Put my meatbody in a Matrix-pod, wire my entire brain directly into a virtscape graphics engine, and let me go full cyborg.
Privacy has nothing whatsoever to do with law or justice. Law and justice live or die according to the transparency of the legal process and the availability of evidence. If you haven't read David Brin's The Transparent Society, you really should. It's really quite enlightening—and entertaining at the same time!
I would love to have a supplementary oxytocin delivery system built into my brain. Hit a switch and a huge dose of oxytocin gets piped right into my hypothalamus and brain stem!
As much as I loathe dumbed-down kiddie-fic, I love Garth Nix...because he does honest-to-gods *young adult* fiction very, very well. I loved Shade's Children because it is utterly uncompromising and, though it takes it easy on its readers in terms of prose strength, it does NOT hold back anything. This new book sounds…
The barbecued babe was the BEST part! Even better than the cellar-full of halfeaten bodies.
You *do* realize that other family just kills and eats the kid, right?
I wonder how long it will take an emergent Digital Intelligence to recognize that the power dynamic between the human and the cat runs greatly in the cats favour? The DI will likely begin trying to communicate with the cat first.
The first two are just silly—VHEMT has long been known to be just a piss-take much like the Church of The SubGenius (to whom it is closely aligned)—but the remainder? All guaranteed to happen within the next...Idaknow, 100 years? All of them, all at the same time.
No, we won't, because it's conclusively been proven that dolphins DO NOT possess a language. But that doesn't necessarily mean that they cannot be TAUGHT one, or uplifted to the point where they can and will need to develop a tongue of their own.
I have the WEIRDEST boner right now.
Okay, this is a MUST SEE.
Privacy is highly over-rated.
Wow. That was fantastic! I just watched it bleem times in a row.
Lindelof is going to take an otherwise interesting pretense and turn into a soup of nonsensical allusions just like he did with Lost and Prometheus. Someone must've loaned him a copy of Joseph Campbell's The Masks of God years ago. He read it and didn't understand more than, at most, 30% of what he'd read, but he'd…
Wow. You guys should seriously consider upgrading the bandwidth to your text parsing systems and/or hypothalami. Sci-fi readers who can't absorb vast amounts of data in highly-compressed, high-bitrate format NEED to update their reading comprehension rate or be left behind reading YA fiction.
