speaking of fiction, specifically sci-fi authors, I always wanted to ask you people, what do you read, or have read in the past. what's good literature according to you, and most importatnly, is there anything you can relate directly to electronic music, techno, idm and experimental and whatever else you call it? for instance, i know that the people who invented the term "techno" borrowed it from a novel from Alvin Toffler, maybe the third wave. anyway, the story was about the "techno renegades", and those guys in detroit decided that they were techno renegades, that's why they called their style "techno" in order to advertise it to bigger audiences. i wrote once a specific shrot article for a sci-fi fanzine on how sci-fi and electronic music are similar. if i find it, i will paste it here. otherwise, i'm going to write it again. good night everybody, dobri "The best way to predict the future is to go (mentally) in the direction in which your fears grow."
