I hope everything is well and your dad is getting better. Big hug and my best wishes for a complete recovery.-<BR/><BR/>Thanks! Yeah, you’re still on time to say 'happy bday' –I have been celebrating yesterday and I couldn’t finish writing my story on time to post today, as I do every Monday, but I’m almost done with it and in a few hours it will be here-. It will be cool to share such a nice meal with you. I’ll bring some red wine and a cake!<BR/><BR/>WOW, so you too love sci-fi! That’s COOL. I share your taste for Ray Bradbury’s books (I loved “Fahrenheit 451” and the excellent movie version, and also “Martian Chronicles” –haven’t seen the “Sound of thunder” movie tho, I’m interested-.<BR/><BR/>Asimov is amazing, sis. He created a futuristic planet (Trantor) and a civilisation where robots played an important role, based upon 3 laws that ruled their relation with humans. His Foundation series are awesome. I understand you though –when I was a student I didn’t have much time to read, either. I struggled between the obligation to study and the books of Tolkien –too tempting and continuously pushing me into a world of fantasies-.<BR/><BR/>I’ve always been curious and scared about the hypothesis of other species or machines taking the place of humans in evolution. Like ‘Terminator’, ‘Planet of the apes’, or lately about androids ‘Blade runner’ and ‘I, robot’. But certainly it depends on the creator’s work –men, who sometimes plays God, don’t you think?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Big kiss and hug.Leni Qinanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787813168299836381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199873995156498311.post-49364239634836285722008-09-15T03:55:00.000-02:002008-09-15T03:55:00.000-02:00Sorry sis if it took me quite a while to get here ...Sorry sis if it took me quite a while to get here and comment. I missed your birthday but I guess it's not too late to greet you! Why don't you come over so I can cook you spaghetti and fruit salad? Hehe! <BR/><BR/>I read Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer when I was in high school. I tried to start on Asimov but I only managed to read a few pages because my eyes kept on being dragged towards my physics and calculus books. yeah, I'm a certified geek. and obviously, I was in college when I tried to read some sci-fi. Ray Bradbury is a favorite though! Ever read the Martian Chronicles of his? Or the "Sound of Thunder" recently adapted to a movie? :-)<BR/><BR/>I'm curious about android love. I guess it's something that's futuristic indeed. Japan has successfully invented robots but with human emotions? hmmm, that's something that's worth exploring.. :-) can't wait to read more about the book Ed wants you to review.. <BR/><BR/><BR/>xxxGrasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536942840473455448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199873995156498311.post-21721973084133969402008-09-14T11:23:00.000-02:002008-09-14T11:23:00.000-02:00Hi Ghosty, SF freaks are prolly like trekkies or t...Hi Ghosty, SF freaks are prolly like trekkies or those guys who queue to get tickets for the last Star Wars saga, dressed in Darth Vader's outfit, lol.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, glad to share this with you guys, it's lovely.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you should write that book about the evolution of androids, lol, my colleague writer.<BR/><BR/>hugs + kisses 4 U 2.Leni Qinanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787813168299836381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199873995156498311.post-305812391258177622008-09-14T11:20:00.000-02:002008-09-14T11:20:00.000-02:00Hi Sage, and welcome to my surreal world, desert r...Hi Sage, and welcome to my surreal world, desert rat! :)<BR/><BR/>I saw you at Gautami’s blog, in that impressive and brilliant post about 9/11. It's a sad date to celebrate birthdays actually; those who left are always in my thoughts that day.<BR/><BR/>Glad to know you too have been through sci-fi stages and the authors I mentioned –now all classics-. I have wikied the authors in your comment –actually impressed by L.E. Modesitt’s frantic activity in life!-<BR/><BR/>Shame but I don’t read sci-fi these days, don’t know why. I prefer some poetry and fictional short stories.

I think androids will be more and more closer to human as technology develops, until nobody can tell an android from a human. Scary, eh? (they cry and fall in love in "Blade runner"). It's just a matter of time. Based on the book "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" by Philip K. Dick (I'm quoting wiki). Well, I have the book at home, hehee.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you liked Bjork's video. I've watched it a million times and never got tired of it. These bots kiss almost like humans... it's awesome. And yes, they interchange fluids, lol.<BR/><BR/>Bob is not an android. He's lost somewhere in hyperspace, hahaha.

Asimov, Lem, Tarkovski, etc etc...<BR/><BR/>I doubt androids are able t feel love just as humans do (but most of their charm lays on that doubt, how close to human can they get?).

Some commenters -and even silent readers- identify themselves with certain characters and are collaborating somehow in the story. Grass is very participatory in this sense, she's clever, witty, funny and very nice to interact with. There are others as good as her, and everyone is welcomed to join. It's very rewarding for both sides. ;))Leni Qinanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787813168299836381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199873995156498311.post-14336134456957456492008-09-11T15:36:00.000-02:002008-09-11T15:36:00.000-02:00Lol, glad you managed not to fall off your chair! ...Lol, glad you managed not to fall off your chair! :) I know you have to be mature than that for your kind of job with a degree in law. <BR/><BR/>Don't we wish everyday is our birthday?!
