The world that George Orwell described is more of a reality than ever
before,
but is not Reality.
The world continues to remain divided nationally or even in terms of
alliance.
However, the world is readily broken down into three
different segments (1st,
2nd, and 3rd Worlds), but these segments rarely act in unity.
In Orwell's
world the world was very unified, in three parts if my memory is
correct.
Personal rights are on the incline in the world, but this increase
faces some
heavey obstacles, such as technology. Never before have we
been able to
intrude eupon the private lives of as many individuals as now, or been
able to
accurately record and recall as many histories of the individuals.
We are also becomming less organized, which was contrary to Orwells
dream.
I think the most plausible world is that of NEUROMANCER or COUNT ZERO,
what
was the author's name And in
line with movies, i think the Earth culture of
ALIENS is very realistic, or even BLADE RUNNER (minus the Outworlds and
such).

That author was William Gibson,
Robert. I'd have to agree with ya
there, I wouldn't be too surprised to
see us end up like that sooner or
later.

Goto Southie or the many projects of New York or Chicago.
Its reality, Macs, IBMs, Amigas, ST's, etc.. And look at
telecom, and the
personalities that rummage about here.

insult...

I will have to read those books and
decide for myself.

An insult I think you are
being a bit too sensitive, or rather, a bit too
unperceptive. Think of the many personalities within that
book.
Yes, many are undesirable, just as in today's society. And a
slightly less
amount are desirable, just as in today's society. So, when i
merely alluded
to this little valley of the matrix and the books, i was making an
accurate
comparison. This is a microcosm of society, on this board
especially. Its a
very accurate, and unbiased statement.
I think quite a few of his charcters were very heroic. The
names fail me now,
but the kid in Count Zero (hmmm, maybe that was his name...) was very
admirable. He went through quite a few changes (mother being
blown to bits,
along with home, ripped from friends and his common ground into a very
weird
and new world to him), but managed to stay both sane, intelligent,
cunning,
and survived too.
Or, the Mr.Wilson fellow. "Bobby almost pulled a
Wilson." I think he was
definately heroic. Almost messianic in nature.
And another one, the female in Neromancer. The one with the
permanent
sunglasses. She sounded like a very "heroic" female...

Um, this field is probably 0's
specialty. You'd be better off asking
him...
