I’d be interested to know why you think Snow Crash shouldn’t be made into a movie.

Goddamn that would be a trifecta of debauchery and epic lego.
All in due time boys. . .

Best to take a little sip, enjoy, and move on to the next dish.

The second best interview so far. I am looking forward to the Kevoh or Jonesy interviews …maybe Eric Sophie. Stir it up Keith!

I vote for passed out. We’d be way too anal to actually finish anything shiny before then.

Soren may be an [redacted], but he’s my kind of [redacted]. He was one of a handful of builders whose works dragged me out of my dark age, he was an early influence on me at CSF, and the esteem in which I hold him is probably good for a no-contact order or two.

And this:

Keeping up the momentum of a build is important.

Needs to be tattooed on my forehead. Only my really epic projects, like the Ringworld, tend to survive being shelved.

Interesting stuff about the creativity derivatives. Reminds me of Beaudrillard’s simulacrum and hyperreality. Food for thought.

Also, I’ve been MOT-ing terraforming and planetary surveying concepts, so it’s nice to see that I’m thinking in the same direction as a “hero”.
