Random quote: My pass had disappeared. Not that I believed for a moment that this was an accident; in fact, I had suspected for some time now that the Cosmic Command, obviously no longer able to supervise every assignment on an individual basis when there were literally trillions of matters in its charge, had switched over to a random system. The assumption would be that every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one. A time-consuming procedure, perhaps, but one that would never fail. The Universe itself operated on the same principle. And for an institution as everlasting as the Universe certainly our Building was such an institution the speed at which these meanderings and perturbations took place was of no consequence. - Stanislaw Lem (Memoirs Found in a Bathtub)

If you like near future books, like I do, you'll be interested in Walter Jon Williams' upcoming book, This is Not a Game.   We have high expectations for this book, not only because Mr. Williams has been nominated for so many awards (including the Hugo, Phillip K. Dick, Locus Fantasy, and two Nebulas), but also because he is apparently a hard core gamer with some impressive street cred.  The same can be said of the main characters of this thriller, that takes the reader into what he sees as the not-so-distant future of gaming.

You'll have to preorder this one, as doesn't come out until March 24.  You may as well read it on the 25th, though, because we're guessing it'll get a nom from somebody, and he might finally win one this time.  Think about how cool it would that you already read it before it was cool.   You can check out the latest review (such as it is) at Publisher's Weekly.
