Bouncing around Toronto and 2 post Singularity futures
Over the last week or so, Elicia and I have been able to spend some extra time doing stuff around Toronto
In addition to a couple of morning tennis matches (which made up for your schedule evening games rained out), and seeing a 2 very good movies ( SpiderMan 2 and Will Smith's I Robot) we also visited:
I also managed to polish off Ken Macleod's "Newton's Wake" and Chariles Stross's "Iron Sunrise", after much anticipation.
Of the 2 I enjoyed Surnrise more, but that may be because its a sequel (more familiar) and its story universe is a little more interesting (to me) and messy.
Ken's writing has a background about the collision of societies (and its ideologies), where as Charile's is about the collision of technologies (and its ideological implications), which inform the stories they tell.
I look forward to read more from both authors placed in these settings.
