Damien, please enlighten me. hee<br><br>Greg Bear, Charles Stross, Greg Egan, Linda Nagata, Paul J. McAuley, Neal Stephenson, Walter Jon Williams, Bruce Sterling, Gregory Benford and Damien Broderick are among my favorite 500 lb. gorillas in the science fiction field. On second thought, Benford at this point may be an 800 lb. gorilla! I say this not only because he has written many bestselling SF tomes, but he has now branched out into biotechnology start-ups. At the Convergence Conference he spoke at length about the goals of his company and how they have some cool things in the works. <br>
