Any time I get to write, when I am not ‘computing’, is a real pleasure. But for fiction parts everyone has tactics I suppose.
For me there is the old one about stopping while you are still going well. Meaning don’t force your way through it when you don’t feel it. That’s the time to do your rewriting or check grammar or go to the pub or whatever.

Having said that, in the book the main female character is the one people seem to like best. Perhaps because she is your average interesting person with a touch of the heroic.

There is a growing idea that our information society will bring in a golden post-capitalist age where creation costs next to nothing. This is why we should caution against this optimistic view.

DNA Lightbulb

Intellectual property (IP) and the value of information received little attention from economics in the past because it did not seem important. Now, in our information rich world, it is just beginning to be
