			Thread started: Sep 26 2007, 6:51 PM EDT Watch I've read many of his books, and a lot focus on up-and-coming technologies. For example, Prey is a book about nanomachines that go mad and start killing people. It's actually got a lot of insight as to how man should always remain one step ahead of his machines. Not to mention a great piece of fiction in and of itself! Do you find this valuable? Keyword tags: None Post reply
	the_Finn		Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan	0	Sep 23 2007, 9:25 PM EDT by the_Finn
			Thread started: Sep 23 2007, 9:25 PM EDT Watch Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan was published in 2002 and a sequal has been released as well. The book is about a man named Takeshi Kovacs who lives 500 years from now on a planet named Harlan's World. The United Nations has grown to consume the galaxy and the nanotechnology, computer technology, space travel, and everything about the book is amazing. The most fascinating thing about the book to me is that everyone has a chip in the base of their skull that stores their brain. The "stack" as it is called can only be destroyed with lazer weapons and the fact that if you commit a crime they kill your body and put your mind into a computer where it feels as if no time has passed for 200 years does drastic things to the society.

	the_Finn		Neuromancer by William Gibson	0	Sep 23 2007, 9:19 PM EDT by the_Finn
			Thread started: Sep 23 2007, 9:19 PM EDT Watch Neuromancer by William Gibson was published in 1984 and was the first cyber punk novel written. William Gibson had brilliant ideas for the future of technology. Some interesting aspects would be the artificial intelegence was common, hacking was and always will be common, cyber cafe's will be the equivalent to strip clubs where people "jack in" to the matrix and do what they want while in these virtual constructs, and space travel is a normal thing. I would recomend this book to everyone, and if you like it it happens to be the begening of the sprawl series. Do you find this valuable? Keyword tags: None Post reply
	Parapper		The End Times Controversy: The Second Coming Under Attack	0	Sep 18 2007, 5:58 PM EDT by Parapper
			Thread started: Sep 18 2007, 5:58 PM EDT Watch The End Times Controversy: The Second Coming Under Attack this book really is in my own intrest this book is just time consuming its good but its make you question alot of things. The author speaks on the point that Jesus said he was coming back and the author question Jesus on that(I Know Weird). This book really judges the past present future and try to put Jesus in each one and thats what kind of cauught me on how you judge the future when your not in and you question Jesus in the future. Im not prompted this book but its alright if you want to kill time Do you find this valuable? Keyword tags: None Post reply
