OK, so I was bugged last night about not posting.
Then, I laughed out loud reading this post in my aggregator. So I decided to share the love. You’ll laugh too. You may also feel a little frisson of fear, especially if at any point in the post or articles you asked yourself “What is this WoW thing?”
Don’t worry, it will pass.
BTW, if you’re interested in a really, really good SF, I can heartily recommend the work of the above blogger (Charles Stross) and the book Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge, which is very much a propos of the subject matter of Charlie’s post. It’s set 30 years in the future, which aligns perfectly with Charlie’s mental stretch back to 1977.
Hat tip to Marc Andressen, who turned me on to both of these authors in a recent post. Go thank him for your means of experiencing teh intarwebs, whence flows much now-shock.
