Fright Library founding thought: Information wants to be free - we have all heard similar statements. The truth is that information has no will - it is people that want to be free. The truth will set you free - unchain it on the net. Tomorrow the web could be a world that is mostly free. I have improved the html in my online novels. Making them as easy to read as e-book electronic formats. Novel: Channeling
the Demon - supernatural horror - Gary Morton - (75,000 words) The Future - Here's a short description of things to come - via a mysterious e-mail source. Letter from Wave 6
Gary, I've been picking up on some of your questions regarding the future and decided to get back to you on them. Perhaps you've noticed that we share the same name, and that's because you have survived and are alive in this distant future. I am you in total but let's not waste time on that when the design of this discussion is to paint the simplest picture of the future. The new world really began in January 2000 when it was announced that hydrogen in a near unlimited supply could be created through use of pond scum. You can guess the rest - the fuel monopolies died and the public domain gained an unlimited energy supply. IP Next Generation or IP 6 came on the scene around the same time. This new Internet Addressing scheme gave every person on the planet the potential of connecting nearly one hundred million personal devices to the Internet. Breakthroughs in wireless technology followed and nano technology gave us the ability to broadcast high resolution video from nearly any surface. Everything became a potential communications device with a connection to the world wide web. As software eliminated all language barriers an explosion of human communications took place that changed the human psyche. Near telepathy on such a large scale brought about the quick end of the old world. The concepts of commerce, money and value began to shift. You now rise to your position in the world telepathic exchange, pursuing an occupation on behalf of humanity. Wages are only paid in the sense that you are given what you need. Local communities and nations still exist as the physical nature of the planet has not changed. Sense of community and all institutions are embodied in ongoing mental activities and archives on the net. Nearly everyone broadcasts their daily activities to others, which means that reality or each person's vision of the external world is rich, detailed and accurate. News and media is a broadcast activity of the mind as select ideas and events filter up from the web to the individual. Nearly everything is public, but there is also a private realm for those personal parts of our lives - family life, religion, romance. Of course it isn't a perfect world, though it is close. Error means there will always be pockets of emotional poverty and suffering. Madness can filter down the net like the viruses of old. And then there are those of us who didn't quite make it all the way into the new world. I am you in total, as I said in the beginning, but that totality is a mental snapshot. They have recreated your brain in me. If there's a difference I would say that it is only in physical appearance. These spindly metal legs and my spidery body are not much like your body. Rest assured that you have a place here in the future. You have survived, though you are not quite human. You are content, though abandoned, here on Mars. ====================
