The Washington Post reports on a new book by Aubrey de Grey that posits that some folks alive today may well live for 1,000 years. Well, actually, they report on his claims and the contest held to debunk his theories of treating aging as a disease — and curing it. De Grey’s book has indeed just been published. And, no scientist won the contest, leaving it all rather amibiguous.

And yeah, Aubrey just looks soooo cyberpunk!

Well I took a little vacation from Cyberpunk to read Michael Stackpoles 3rd installment in the “Secret Atlas” series but I am back on track and have started Ian McDonald’s book River of Gods. Short background on this book – takes place in India in 2047 and takes a look at what future life would be like there.. Premise is cool and the writing is unusual. More as it happens.
