Ramblings

Just finished reading Anathem - Neal Stephenson's latest contribution to the literary world. The concept of multiple timelines in parellel space is used to bring off a not so crystal clear ending. I sometimes wonder if modern fiction writers are given incomplete scripts of the future and have to fill in the blanks with relics of the modern era. Just think how close people like H.G. Wells were with the fiction they wrote in their own era's. The book is a worthy read.

Rather than reading, the time has come to figure out what to do. The concept of playing a game appeals to the senses - work is too serious a proposition to deal with. The question that comes to the mirror is - are you really doing what you wish to do? If you are not, the time has come to change gears. Some of us have kept the donkey in the yard for many years. Have the impetus to get the raw material for those projects we've been planning - it appears that we will all have some time to contemplate life.

What would i say if i could say anything? Choose words carefully, because the wrong buzzword sends people off into a tizzy. I think i have said most things that i wish to say. We should be coming together to roll up our sleeves and create the food, shelter and entertainment that we require. Each of us is the director of our own movie - now we can film the scripts. What is reel becomes real - fiction shapes reality. Keep dreaming positive and envision a better world after the pop, now that we have awakened the weasel.

Oh? It hasn't popped yet? Never mind.

haha! Stephenson never has been any good at writing endings, but I never really cared because the beginning and the middle are always so good!
