Replication Nightmares from the 1950s

It’s 2008. The future sure is getting here slow… but it is getting here.

These hexapod robots remind me of a sci-fi short-story I read when I was a kid back in the 70s – the story itself being written in 1958 – Crabs on the Island by Anatoly Dneprov. Enjoy etc.

An ode to Cognitive Surplus.

A celebration of the inventive backwaters of the human spirit... a celebration of people who would appear to have far too much time on their hands...

A celebration of laterality.

If you come they will build it.

By knowledge shall the spheres be filled.
