I wrote a 70Kword novel -- the genre would have to be
defined as "technology fiction" -- describing how a hypothetical
corporation can, using current technology, create a meaningful,
practical distributed v.world system. It explores all the themes
this list has talked about for the past year. In fact, I dedicated
the novel to the men and women of this and the www-vrml group.
It's not a Necromancer / Snowcrash / Permutation City vision at all,
but rather an entirely different (kindler, gentler) approach set in the year
2002. A story about humane characters dealing with real world problems.
Absolutely no VR cliches ala Lawnmower Man, Virtousity, etcetera.
Any thoughts on who might publish this hard copy, commercially?
It's a pretty well-written work (if I do say so myself...however a few who have
read it have been blown away by it, so I'm encouraged).
I have a literary agent but this is not her shtick, so I'm pretty
much on my own.
Of course I could put it up on the 'net,
but I was sort of hoping to publish it hard copy first.
Feed the cat and all that.
