Hey Eripsa! I'm sure your bead-version of the movie with the bad man and the kid from A.I. is great, but I was also curious, are you honoured and/or upset that Seth MacFarlane did a take on your awesome ideas about social network societies?

This only works for the very high or the very stupid.

It was portrayed as silly in the show, but maybe the Drazi way of assigning political (or religious? I can't remember if this was said explicitly) affiliation by drawing random lots into green and PURPLE factions isn't inherently worse than our human method. It's a bold effort, to be certain.

So I've been sketching out this book, I'm imagining it as a fantasy novel full of fantasy novel tropes but where the only magic system in the novel is a really effective and efficient political bureaucracy and social infrastructure.

"What if Terry Pratchett, but the exact opposite" seems like a tough pitch, even on the US market.
