To me, Jaspers missed his chance to be a hero. With millions of dollars rolling through the door and a good chance at billions, plus threats from the White House, he didn't have the guts to do what he knew was right early on. We've all been there, I think (except the millions and billions part). But he could've been nicer to his wife.
cbell has thought through the assistant/head difference more than I had. (I wrote it, but that doesn't mean understand it. I'm not sure where all this stuff comes from.) I see cbell's point, although I think being wired is sort of like having a cell phone in your head, which to me would be incredibly intrusive. I don't think many people (in Mars Girl world) are wired, and usually it's a career necessity paid for by someone else.
I think of the word "assistant" like the word "toaster." It refers to a device manufactured by many companies. And yes, I'm waiting for my assistant, too. I think I'll buy a reader first.
