Map of body, slow-shifiting caustics and acids corroding soft-tissue wells. Muscle sheath, cleavage-fissure working in to cores running alongside bones, the relaxed eddies created by spaces in between sinews just before they intersect and plan—pools, cruelly, where collagen and poor spent plasms might otherwise find relief, recovering. In...

“I woke up as the sun was reddening; and that was the one distant time in my life, the strangest moment of all, when I didn’t know who I was – I was far away from home, haunted and tired with travel, in a cheap hotel room I’d never seen, hearing the hiss of steam outside, and the creak of the old wood of the hotel, and the footsteps...

"Forget Jurassic Park, forget digging through fossilized and shredded remnants of DNA. With modern informatics algorithms and the vast database of genomes gathered by robotic sequencers, we are able to travel back in genetic time. We can statistically infer the genome of any common ancestor of any surviving group of organisms. We can even...

"Everyone experiences the Link differently. We will try to get the patch into a primary or secondary sensory cortex, but it's never perfect. It will take some months getting used to.

"A century ago, most of the world's premier observatories sat atop hills just a brisk walk from their home institutions. But no more.

Paul Virilio "One of the major problems now facing political as well as military strategists is the phenomenon of immediacy, of instantaneity. For `real time' now takes precedence over real space, now dominates the planet. The primacy of real time, of immediacy, over space is an accomplished fact, and it is an inaugural one. A recent...
