I'm reading the third book in Tobias Buckell's Ragamuffin series, Sly Mongoose. The series is a great space opera with the main characters hailing from colonies settled by Caribbean folk and Aztecs

They see uncontrolled sentience as dangerous and since humanity has thrown off that leash they take steps to end it. So far we've got scorched planets, space battles and did I mention the zombies? It's a hell of a ride. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Omari Confer <clockwork...@...> wrote: > > *Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy* by > Lawrence Lessig <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Lessig> > > > [image: File:Lessig > remix.jpg]<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c4/Lessig_remix.jp\ g> > > > > On Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 3:44 PM, Kelwyn ravena...@... wrote: > > > > > > > I am reading "Queen City Jazz" by Kathleen Ann Goonan and thoroughly > > enjoying her post apocalyptic novel.
