lol,at the risk of sounding like a smart ass,it's about anime......& philosophy. Ok,now serious; One thing it talks about is how many animes portray a future where cyberization of the human body is "normal" and common.However,the book argues that this has already occured but people don't realize it or sub-consiously don't accept it.For instance;we use pacemakers to control a persons heart beat,we replace missing limbs with prosthetic ones,and we use special medicines to control aspects of our bodies like blood suger and such.These are on the spot examples,the book could explain it better but thats a brief example of what the books about. |

That sounds really entertaining. I never really looked at anime in that way but now that you've mentioned it, cyberization is reoccurring theme. If you find that interesting, you might want to look into transhumanism. Its crazy, especially the do-it-yourself-ers. The only way I can explain it is that people aren't patient enough to have humanity evolve into x-men so they implant magnets and things like that into their finger tips. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QTuKhMBxWU |

Only because you're an archaeologist it doesn't mean you have to read historical fiction. ![]() A friend of mine is a fan of Manfredi's books.

haha but I like historical fiction. Favourite is David Gemmell's Troy series. I like the Manfredi's books but he's not great on the action scenes, and does get sidetracked easy with subplots and side stories. |

Just started a rather dry book called, Brain-Friendly Strategies from the Inclusion Classroom by Judy Willis, MD. I'm also reading The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins because a friend suggested it. Lastly, recently finished re-reading a classic and favorite, The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. This is just personal reading. The ones required for school are sometimes interesting and sometimes not. |
