Just Finished Sawyers _Mindscan_. A pretty good book... do all of his books use the same material? There was much in here that used the same basis for some stuff as WWW was... Cellular Automata and both books reference _The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind_.

I think Flashforward had a bit of living forever theme in it as well.

That said, I think Mindscan was a good read. I enjoyed the stories and the arguments of what makes a person a person. Interesting stuff.

My next read will be _The Tide Mill_ by MR member Richard Herley.

Kindle version of WWW:Wonder is still $12.99 even though the hard cover is $10.12. I'm waiting to see if they drop the Kindle version to $7.99 to match the per-order paperback price on March 27th.
