Thoughts about the book "Neuromancer".

This is the tale of the ultimate net addiction.The classic book n the cyberpunk sector is the book "Neuromancer", what is handling the thing, what is called the hybridization of the human and Internet. In the book, the heroes would travel in the expanding virtual reality by using the brain core stimulation. This book is the tale of many things and one of them is the ultimate version of net addiction.

What would you think, if your passion centers in the brains would be stimulated for years by using electric stimulation? And that experience is connected with the feelings, that you can fly like a Peter Pan or some kind of superman. or you will be free from the limits of natural laws and select the creature that you want. You can be a man or woman or even a cat or some bird, whatever you want.  Everything happens in virtual reality, what you feel like reality. So that kind of thing would open the new level of the net addiction.

This kind of system is extremely dangerous in the wrong hands, and this is the thing, that we must realize when we are creating technology, which allows the embedding of the human mind and computer.   That thing would cause extreme addiction. The thing in that book is that the person cannot even realize when being in the virtual reality called "the matrix".

Sometimes when I read this kind of stuff, I wonder, how those fictional heroes could even realize, that they are awake or what is the border between the virtual and real reality? Sometimes, when I think about this kind of thing, I remember the example case, where the child says that " I saw a dream, that I saw a dream".

I have permission to use that example because I was that child. And I wondered how many layers the dream can have? Can we have multiple internal layers of awareness? If we are thinking the matrix as the multiple layers of the virtual spaces, what is communicating with human brains, we can think also a very interesting thing, to use the matrix as the dangerous tool.

Of course, the matrix is dangerous for its users, because they can just sit or lay at the room, and if they do not realize that they are in virtual reality, they can just die because they don't realize that they must eat or drink. This kind of thing makes this thing more dangerous than people ever thought. If we are thinking the matrix as the mixture of dream and virtual reality we can say one thing.

That thing that can be called a virtual dream would allow us to transfer any memory of the other person to their memory. So in the world of Cyberpunk, that thing would be used as entertainment. But what if we can create a computer, what can be controlled by using brain waves, and then we would go to the Internet for the little virtual trip,.what would we do?

By using virtual reality, we could see things, than we ever thought. If we can navigate the Internet by using our brainwaves and copy the experiences of other people, we can feel total freedom. We can get some experiences from another gender, and that thing might feel interesting. But we can also hack databases and other things more effective.

So in those cases, we can face very dangerous thing, and that thing is that the protective systems can send the killing electric shock to the socket if the unauthorized use is detected. But by using this kind of system, what is connecting the entire humanity to the Internet, we could make the ultimate tool, or ultimate enemy, the decision is the people, who are making this kind of thing.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
