    I remember reading about the Nooshphere (in The Phenomenon of Man, and other books by Teilhard de Chardin, which I read in French back in those days when I could do that kind of thing) and not really “getting” what he was talking about. Of course since then I’ve gone on to become a virtual theoretician of Overmind.

    I only wish my novels were as widely known as Kevin Kelly’s books, as we seem to share many of the same preoccupations. Unlike his books, mine have car chases, evil villains, and hot geek sex with gorgeous hacker/scientist babes. So you might think that I would have a natural edge on him, popular-mind wise. Alas, if you thought that you would be wrong.
