The Diamond Age, I find a fascinating setting and, in fact, a brief snippet early on the book where Finkle-McGraw is talking to Hackworth about what went terribly wrong at the end of the last century planted the seed of a sci-fi novel I'm slowly but surely slogging my way through writing. Cheers Aj

They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett) |
