No, that's a new one for me, but I've already downloaded it and will check it out this weekend.

Two recommendations in return, one fiction and one philosophy:

  • The series of Culture novels by Iain M. Banks
    Features a fabulous and detailed universe (easily on a par with Frank Herbert's) where uploading and other enhancements are commonplace. Banks just died two years ago and the prospect of a world without new Culture stories is bleak, indeed.
  • The Mind's I by Douglas Hofstadter
    A series of essays exploring, among other topics, the nature of self vis-a-vis artificial intelligence and what its achievement will likely mean for future society.

I can talk about books all day long…
