Coalition of the Billing

It seems as though with each passing day, this book becomes ever more prescient of our future: "artifical person", SARS, nuclear terrorism, ... the title of this post could've come straight from this novel, but instead it comes from the headlines.

It doesn't describe a world without hope, however, no matter how bleak a picture it sometimes paints. The older I get, the more I understand that change is neither "good" nor "bad" in and of itself: it's simply inevitable.

Military contractors will gladly fight terrorists -- for a price. By Bruce Sterling from Wired magazine.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
