What do you think of CrimeNet?
|
"I'm afraid I may be falsely accused. I have been
in Ward 6, and do not want to go back! Scoundrels
run free, often in public office, while honest men go
to jail or the asylum!"
~Gromov
"Jolly good show! Salt of the earth! Backbone
of England! Give those ruffians the old what for!"
~The Curator of the Museum of Affirmative Action
|
|
"My guess is that it will simply provide
new opportunities for criminal elements and the
politicians who manipulate them. If the
resource is uncontrolled from below, that is by
the people, it will be exploited from above."
~Chiensha
"Any third-level magician worth his training
could easily defeat it."
~TelGar

Archive: What do you think of the almost-ready subway system?
|
"I'm really, really glad that it is going to be
underground. Even though I like being outside all of the
time, I would hate to see any trees destroyed to have
an above ground system."
~Shirrah
"Money spent on a subway in NorthWest is wasted on
people who disdain technology and prefer to walk anyway."
~Dewley Elekted

"My concern -- and this is only my personal concern,
you must understand -- is that a City-wide system makes
it so much easier for undesirable elements to
enter places where so much has been achieved to defend
against them. For example, those unkempt students, and
other NorthWesters."
~The Mayor's Wife
"Oh great, now the humans are so thick in the City
that they have to ruin the underground. How depressing".
~Marvin

"[The] dominant of postmodernist fiction is ontological. That is, postmodernist fiction deploys strategies which engage and foreground questions like ... "Which world is this? What is to be done in it? Which of my selves is to do it?" Other typical postmodernist questions bear either on the ontology of the literary text itself or on the ontology of the world which it projects, for instance: What is a world?; What kinds of worlds are there, how are they constituted, and how do they differ?; What happens when different kinds of worlds are placed in confrontation, or when boundaries between worlds are violated?; What is the mode of existence of a text, and what is the mode of existence of the world (or worlds) it projects?; How is a projected world structured? And so on."
