뉴질랜드 작가가 쓴 중편쯤 되는 그다지 길지않은 책인데, 저번에 다른 책들 사면서 같이 껴서 주문했던 책이다.
스토리는 간만에 산뜻(?)하게 읽었다고 할 정도로는 재미 있는데, 최근에 읽은 책중 젤라즈니의 ‘집행인의 귀환’과 약간은 (많이 아니고 아주 약간…) 비슷한 점도 있긴하다. 하지만 많이 연상되는건 아니라는거..
중간부터 나오기 시작하는 인간과 인공지능간의 대화로 생명은 무엇이고 지성은 무엇인지에 대해 몇가지 재미 있는 썰을 푸는데, 생명의 형태를 광물질 – 유기물 – 이데아로 보는 시각은 신선했다.
이데아는 지각능력이 있는 유기물이 있어야만 존재하듯이 유기물도 지구가 있어야 존재하는 것이니, 같은 기생-숙주 관계로 보는 것인가.
여튼 읽어가다보면 마지막 부분의 반전이 꽤나 유쾌(??) 섬뜩(??)한데, 이런 반전을 날려주기에는 역시 장편보다는 중단편이 나은 것같다. 살짝쿵 도시와 별을 생각나게 해주는 쎈쓰. ㅋ
뭐 이상한 리포트 뽑으라고해서 쿼리 만들고 있는데 열라 복잡해서 짬뽕난다 흥. 아씨 안할래.
yesterday, one famous tv star in korea found dead, it was a suicide.
many, almost every people were talking about this sudden news, since she was one of the most influencing star during past almost 20 years.
and after one day, i’ve seen this news
▒ 네이트닷컴 – 뉴스 (written in KR -_-;)
newspaper was saying that the reason of suicide ‘can be’ the rumor from internet. this news mentioned one line as ‘people around mz.choi told that she suffered with internet rumors’, and rest of whole article to describe what those rumors were. (what a stupid news….)
anyway, this fascio press was not giving this article without any reason. soon after, i’ve found this news, which is making this fascio’s direction clear.

………..damnation. this annoying politician now insisting that the suicide of mz.choi is purely because of internet rumor and define this as ‘everyone’s fault’.
so? what is the reason why the fascio is putting the internet rumor is a root of evil?
this news is also saying that another politician stated that government and national assembly will find a way to stop this ‘internet terror’ as soon as possible.
the news didn’t say the detail method or so, but most of people knows where this talk leads….
i’m sure that what they want is to censor the internet and the public voices via internet.
from the election time of current president, during the protesting of beef import, the internet was always the headache to the fascio. although the it is true that many of the opinions in internet are very immature, this internet made the existing press to lose the power to setting agenda and leaded many people to join the protest actively. no wonder the government wants to ‘control’ this.
current party and president has support of major newspaper press, and recently, president changed head of the tv broadcaster…. their plan to ‘press friendly’ (in fact, control every speech) is 80% done. the only left is the internet.
they will start setting the kr internet portal to remove anonymity. soon they will create or change related laws, so that spreading falsehood or defamation on internet to be a serious criminal. that, would be enough. soon they’ll be able to put many ppl into jail.
internet censorship. they are planning an impossible thing.
