Resurrection!

In other news, have just finished an incredible sci-fi book. It took me all of 2.5 days to rip through this one. Wolfbane, by Kornbluth and Pohl, published in 1959. It's like a precursor to the Matrix, but so much more! Rippling with ideas, philosophy and lean reasoning, this book kicks so much butt all over so many other sci-fi books I've ever read (ok, which isn't a lot, but I've read all the famous ones, like Asimov, Dick and Gibson). If you can find it, because it isn't a very popular book, I suggest you take an afternoon off and have a good feed.
