- I don't think Ryman got the point of the exercise.
- MacLeod's was the most clever and was remarkable for its lightheartedness compared to the others.
- McDonald seems to envision a future where the iPhone takes over. I also got the impression that he thinks Islamic fundamentalism will dominate.
- Griffith and McAuly envision environmental catastrophe. Yawn. Baxter envisions a Universe catastrophe. No that's what I'm talking about.
- I think the Watson piece is the most interesting. I'd love to see it developed into a novel. How would virtual people change things?
Yes, I think Ryman misunderstood the exercise
I like Baxter's and Watson's too and I also really like Robson's - these are my favourites. I like McAuly's end of the world but Griffith's not so much. MacLeod's is funny. I don't really care about McDonald's.
Welcome aboard!
I meant my first thread - the one I started not just responded to - not post
Evolution, just like gravity, works even if you don't believe in it.
