i feel extremely hypocritical responding to this thread,
because it really *is* so very off topic, but i have to
put in a plug for Greg Egan. absolutely brilliant for extreme
(and well thought out) technological extrapolation. he's got a computer-sciency
background (he might even have heard of plan 9...)

i'm stopping there, though i could go on and on.
