funny story.
a while back I got the story idea that the nanotech and AI 'revolution' points occur nearly simultaneously and as such the nanotech ends up under the control of the AI
I tried to figure out how to write it and realized I had no real basis in which to do so. I'm still kinda coming to grips with how communication/recording tech has altered the world.
But I imagined it happening over the space of about 24 hours, and changing humanity irrevocably and permanently.
I've been thinking about getting into ghostwriting but it involves, like, "deadlines" and "direct requests to alter things" and stuff, and I can't really collaborate very well, even in that limited fashion
@sydneyfalk can say I'd like people to drastically alter my work either. Good luck on your writing!
(it isn't that, exactly -- although I do understand that others feel that way -- it's more that I just don't know how to do it properly, somehow -- never have, it's a thing I'm working on sorta :\ )
I figured it'd take an anthology novel, because too much would be happening to focus on a small group of people, even if there were a deutagonist pair (or a tritagonist trio).
So part of it was in a hospital, part in a factory in China, part in The Busy Life Of A Television Personality, and recurring connect-backs to the key figures in the AI and nanotech research groups (one corp, one academic).
I still can't figure out how I can usefully write it, though. ^_^ Kinda makes me snerk.
@sydneyfalk I have a couple good stories you could ghost write.
