The Digital DreamBitingduck Press LLC, 2000 - 304 стор. The Time? The future. Hours, days, weeks, months. A couple of years, maybe. The Place? Here, I guess. Wherever here is. Our computers and networks make the world a single place. ItOCOs all becoming one. IsnOCOt it? The Digital Dream dramatizes the world made new by electronic intelligences that not only manipulate, but also create people and places beyond the physical realm. Andrew Ross unwittingly pulls Kathleen Hennessey into a most dangerous dance with a ruthless phantom network called BAMBI made up of minds both human and electronic. A NASA bird inexplicably goes awry. Sikpuppi, Predator, Stryka, and Underdogg hack into BAMBI, a cyberforce beyond even their teenage fantasies. McAllister and Crieff, two wiley old cops, catch the spin. Who is Robert OOCORegan? What is Blackdawn? Does an outbreak of plague in an Adobe Flats laboratory have anything to do with a runaway train in Chicago or with the American Presidential election? Boson Books also offers Waking Caliban by Michael J. Cale. For an author bio and photo, reviews and a reading sample, visit bosonbooks.com." |

Сторінка 51 - He is a great observer, and he looks Quite through the deeds of men : he loves no plays, As thou dost, Antony ; he hears no music : Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort, As if he mock'd himself, and scorn'd his spirit That could be mov'd to smile at any thing. Such men as he be never at heart's ease, Whiles they behold a greater than themselves, And therefore are they very dangerous.
Сторінка 220 - You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
