OK I'm one of the voices, howling in the wilderness, against 4th ed but I have said that I liked the decking stuff.
I was ,finally, reading through unwired and was really worried by the hwole entertainment thing. People can live virtual lives, even a wired family all sitting around in a living room all watching differnet forms of entertainment completely oblivious to their fellows around them. In theory many office workers living in the protections of an archology could 'log on' to work while on their way. So how long until the corpers start to atrophy? I know the corps would love this-no need to go out, stay home and use corp approved entertainment, why go lcubbing in the meat body when you can do it in cyber and appear without the beer gut or in tres chic clothes you don't have to worry about staining/malfunctioning? Kid's no good at sports in the gym, well he doesn't need to wrok out harderrt, he just goes virtual and plays great. The idea of the educated part of meta humanity becoming more and more ...flabby while the SINlesshave to be physical? Anyone else ever read The Time Machine? |
