August Update
Greetings, everyone.
It’s almost time for a new Voided Man tale - The Signal and the Ribbon comes out on Sunday. This will be book 10, which seems wild to me, because when I was writing the original I didn’t know it would be a series at all.
Persius narrates the new story, and we learn a great deal about the mild-mannered genius. The Good King Johns – both the biological and the virtual version – al Read more of this blog post »

of
The Fields of Glass Next Door (The Voided Man Book 9):
"Original
I absolutely love the Voided Man Series and this may be my favorite one yet. The descriptions were vivid and the science was interesting. A sentient predatory "plant." I love it. " |

“And so the nineteen married couples and the eleven single astronauts made a pact and formed the Thirty Families. They agreed on the following simple but critical points: 1. They would never pass their ability to authorize the creation of new life extension treatments (or EXTs, as they called them) to anyone except a single heir, usually their oldest child, upon their deaths. 2. They would not allow the creation of any new AIs that were capable of accepting such authorization from anyone not the head of one of the Thirty Families. 3. They would create a new digital currency and would accept only it and nothing else from buyers wishing to purchase EXTs. 4. They would enforce their monopoly through the sanction of withholding EXTs.”

“When a person is listening, to music or a radio or whatever, she is receiving only 2% as much data as she is when watching vids. It’s true - look at the size of any files you download from the nets. And then, if a person is reading, he is only taking in 2% as much data as someone who is listening. Text contains hardly any data at all. You can read for 2500 hours and use the same amount of your mind’s processing power as you would use watching vids for a single hour.”

“They always wanted to know what I thought the important characteristics of a new government should be. My point of view was always the same, and I highlighted the same few points dozens of times in front of dozens of groups. “You have to keep it simple. You have to limit its powers. You have to put those powers in different places - no kings, no single groups that can do everything. You have to have elections so that people can toss officials who are doing a lousy job out on their ears. You have to make sure that everyone can vote in the elections. You have to make sure that no one can vote twice in the elections. That’s about it. If you actually do those things, you can’t go wrong.”
