Imagine that if you actually had music playing whenever you thought about it. It's not the technology that's the problem, i think, more our lack of control over our own thoughts.

But thanks for tuning in. <br /><br />Charlie and May: I loved Otherland, but can't get into anything else Tad Williams has written. <br />And if they want, I'll be the guinea pig to try the music chip to make sure they don't turn people into axe-wielding homicidal maniacs.

If you have not read these...the imbedded music and chips end badly. Serial killers who keep a recording of their inner soundtrack. Creepy. And computer viruses that attack your mind when you just look at them. Not good at all.<br /><br />Of course my novel has brain nanochips. I should add music. That might be fun.Charlie Pulsipherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877018077937978788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-57899584167909746702011-02-28T18:21:15.838-07:002011-02-28T18:21:15.838-07:00You've converted another one, I love "Lum...You've converted another one, I love "Lumos Flies" and will be looking for more by All Caps.
