If you want to see/imagine what this game we all love is likely to be evolving into read: "Dogfight" it's a short story written by William Gibson & Michael Swanwick.. Pure Awesomeness! (btw, William Gibson is the guy that wrote Johnny Mnemonic along with a lot of other great stuff)

Here's a link in .txt format: lib.ru/GIBSON/r_dogfight.txt

Please leave a comment below to let me know if you did or didn't like this story as much as I did..

Its hard to hold my attention long enough to read a short story but I did it, mommy I did it! Mrs Pork had to help me with some of the bigger words, but I made it to the end.
I can see the future of this this game as depicted in that story becoming reality, its only a matter of time. And of course Blue Max would still be kicking ass just like it says lol!
Great story Zeeb, thanks for posting the link.

Now Zeeb, black Friday has come and gone.....did you find a tablet? Hmmmmmmm? Didja? :huh:




SANITY IS HIGHLY OVERRATED....

From 2001?

Where did you find that? I was picturing a "Blade Runner" sort of scene.

"Fokkers and Spads" Nice. Can't say I liked Deke much. :S

Thanks for sharing!

William Gibson was the primary author of the story & also the same guy who wrote the story Johnny Mnemonic that was made into a movie starring Keanu Reeves as well as some other stories/novels turned into movies. He is known as the prophet of the CyberPunk genre.. and I have enjoyed reading almost all his books. Almost everything he has written is a great read!
