I've been harboring a strange urge to write a posthuman sword-and-sorcery novel . . .

razorsmile said...: You must!

Human-level intelligences with magic (i.e. physics-breaking, logic-breaking powers) in conflict/the same universe with with hard-scifi post-*inserttheunholy"S"-wordhere intelligences? Like I said, "You must!"

Mac said...: The primary hurdle is making it sufficiently dissimilar to "Rounded With Sleep," a worthwhile novel by fellow Kansas Citian Rob Chilson. In his book, live-action adventure gaming has taken over the planet via tele-robotic avatars. I don't want to take that particular route.; 10:30 PM

Don't worry. I've got an editor on my case! ;-); 4:14 PM
