Net Force: by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik......a series set in the not so
distant future exploring the effects and uses of virtual reality via direct
neural interface implants from the perspective of teenagers.......
Candle: by John Barnes....a sequel of sorts to" Kaleidoscope Century".....of
extropian interest is the reference to a "War of the Memes'. Memes having
attributes similar to that mentioned by Dawkins.....as well as similarities
to AI's. Actually this story might be a type of "singularity'....in that a
self aware artificial intelligence takes over the earth.....and mankind...and
how it does it and what the consequences are.....
