Hi all,
Check out,
Virus
Bill Buchanan
ISBN 0-515-12011-1
$6.50 paperback
Very interesting book about adaptive technology and one possible 'alternate'
future. May not be technicaly correct but then again, what prediction is.
On a related note (at least future tech predictions), I saw the new book put
out by Wired on this issue (don't remember the exact title) in the science
section of BookStop. It belongs in the sci-fi section. A bigger pile of
wishfull thinking with no realistic view of either technology or society
doesn't come to mind immediately. Is definately not a 'buy it'.

relations, for nature will not be fooled."

Jim,
Do you think that this quote should be forwarded to the White House,
or do you think they might have trouble with the concept?
