5/28/2023 0 Comments Howard rheingold virtual realityMaybe, because this is very early in what I think is the third big wave of technology-enabled change, we can apply some of what we’ve learned to shape rather than be the victims of circumstance. The proximate reason is that I’ve written this at a time when a lot of people have some experience and knowledge of what happened to them and their industry and to the world as a result of the PC and the Internet. Why do you say so?įor a couple of reasons. Howard Rheingold You’ve called Smart Mobs your most important book. 12, 2002, in advance of the PopTech conference in Camden, Maine. Howard Rheingold - online pioneer, author of the best-sellers Virtual Reality and The Virtual Community - has a new book, Smart Mobs.

GM: Legs has a theory that the reason people were so frank is they didn’t think the book would get published. Like, Richard and Roberta, they didn’t want to talk about it. LM: You know, it was just part of their everyday lives. Legs has a theory that the reason people were so frank is they didn’t think the book would get published. Previously, histories like it had been rare - McNeil and McCain were primarily inspired by “Edie” by Jean Stein, edited by George Plimpton - but now they’re everywhere, with “Freaks and Geeks,” the March on Washington and lobster rolls getting the oral history treatment. “Please Kill Me,” five years in the making, was important not just because it made visible the genealogy of an underground music scene (the Velvet Underground to the New York Dolls to the Stooges to Television, Blondie and the Ramones) but because it showed how brilliantly an oral history could capture culture. “My story?” It took the help of McCain, a friend, fellow lover of oral histories and patient co-conspirator, to make the project come together. Not even McNeil, Punk Magazine’s “resident punk” from its founding in 1976 through its 1979 end, who couldn’t bring himself to write a memoir. The format was ingenious - no single person could lay claim to know the whole of the sprawling, anarchically creative, drug-riddled scene. 20 years ago, Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain published “ Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk” with Grove Press. They came not to bury punk but to praise it. 5/27/2023 0 Comments Death Wish by Cherime MacFarlaneIt was at a time in my life I wanted a change, writing was something I’ve always wanted to do.

The mysterious destructive force plaguing the characters also ends up leveling the series. Well, someone might know, but despite an “accident” involving glass that makes John McClane’s barefoot jog look pleasant and creepy ghosts trolling passengers in the hallways, well, no one’s saying what’s up. It malfunctions a lot, and no one knows why. You see, the technology onboard the eponymous spaceship, the Nightflyer, is malfunctioning. Not that far into “ Nightflyers,” Syfy’s bleak adaptation of George RR Martin’s bleak 1980 sci-fi novella, a large mechanical spider starts shooting up the crew with searing red laser beams. 5/27/2023 0 Comments On Basilisk Station by David WeberParliament isn't sure it wants to keep the place the major local industry is smuggling the merchant cartels want her head the star-conquering, so-called "Republic" of Haven is up to something and Honor Harrington has a single, over-age light cruiser with an armament that doesn't work to police the entire star system.īut the people out to get her have made one mistake.

He quickly made friends among the library staff and patrons, and also the wider public, some from a long way off, as they learned of his story. The idea was approved by the board of trustees and the city council, so he was neutered and vaccinated and became the new resident. Library staff, finding him next morning after hearing his whimpering, and having warmed him up while he purred the whole time, decided they would like to adopt him as library cat. He arrived on a freezing cold January night in 1988, via the book-return chute. For nearly 20 years it was home to the best-known of American library cats Dewey, or to give him his full title Dewey Readmore Books.
