Can you tell I'm a Neal Stephenson fan? He peaked at Cryptonomicon, then slid into the pit of "The Baroque Cycle" (Not my thing) Anathem was not bad at all, if a bit slow. Looking forward to getting a copy of "Reamde". Sounds like he's getting back into his older (better) style.

ReplyDeleteOne is fine, it's when they start developing a hive mind that I start worrying.
DeleteOK that is legitimately cool. I wonder what kind of payload a little thing like that is capable of carrying, other then a small camera.
