alas.
A rather strange Manga of the 80s that was rather popular in Japan. I cracked up when I read about it and had to mention it in the book.

Why? Hacktivist groups are real, alive, and do all sorts of interesting things.
The noun for them will probably be different in 2087, but I'm not going to go Andrew Burgess and try to create the slang of tomorrow. I've got enough going on the book already!

Were you able to take any constructive criticism or feedback from your readers?I'm not going to argue. If you have a question about why I wrote something the way I did, I'll certainly answer it. If you hate the book, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I'm quite happy that people were interested enough to discuss it.

Sometimes you've just got to finish what you start.
It's the virtual crazy glue I sprinkled on the cover.
+++ The main character is such an insufferable know it all, he literally goes into exposition in every conversation. +++
Well, he IS a college professor. They tend to talk a lot.
+++ There is world building, and then there is making a text book. +++
This book has broken down quantum phyics, kendo, Native American History, Rapeman, Otaku culture, Lulzset, Japanese gift wrapping, Korean-Japanese relations, and why polygamy has no place in modern society.
You forgot AI. A key plot point.
I didn't say polygamy has no place in modern society. In fact, I think its acceptance is inevitable in the US. It's already starting to edge towards the mainstream.
I do have fun with the concept, though!
Let me share with you one of the goals of RS. I am attempting to create a world of tomorrow that feels plausible and "solid." That you can feel. When you write a novel a couple of centuries out, you can do whatever you want. Matter replicators? No problem.
How do they work? Heisenberg Compensators.
But 2087 is too close for that to work. Beside, you can have all sorts of fun with the science of today and extrapolate out logically.

I'm going to create a thread about every book I read from now on, good or bad, just in the hopes that the author makes an account and comes to chat eventually.

But it has some interesting ideas, but they are buried in such crap. Ever had one of those books you hate but you keep reading?
.
Oh so its like the cyberpunk version of Perdido Street Station
BOOM!
I don't think providing my name and stating I'm the Rick Chapman who wrote the book is advertising.
Providing a link where you can read more about the book seems logical. Actually, most of the content at that link consists of reviews of other people's books and articles about self publishing.
Is there some sort of prohibition about me saying I'm the author of the book under description, using my name, and providing a link?

LolIf I try reading a book I don't enjoy, I remind myself that I could be reading a book that id enjoy.
Oh holy shit I didn't notice what was going on in this thread
Two things:
1. If you want to reply to somebody, hit the "quote" button next to the post you are replying to. Putting the text in the title of the reply is awkward and hard to follow.
2. "Signing" your posts is generally frowned upon and can lead to your being banned. When someone clicks on your user name, they will be directed to your user profile. You can put links to your website or other information in your profile.
