Was kind of a bait (35/65) but the good ones actually are. the amount of trash under the same title is overwhelming, I agree. But just imagine though, theres some kid out there so wired that they actually theyre trapped inside a computer, its crazy

Because we have a bad habit of creating new technology first and then regulating it later, so smart people see the writing on the wall when something revolutionary is unveiled and then we suffer through those consequences and get to look at that author's book and go "shit, he told us so."
