Numsgil:
Welcome

EricL:
Welcome aboard.  Personally I found the first 100 pages of 'Prey' to be only okay and the remainder to be downright terrible.  The most interesting thing he can devise for intelligent nano-dust to do is emulate human form and run around in the desert?  You've got to be kidding me.

Numsgil:
Duh, human form is the pinnacle of perfect design.  Why wouldn't intelligent nano-dust emulate human form and run around in the desert?  I'm surprised you didn't figure that out on your own

Testlund:
Duh! The human species is quite weak, despite our successfulness. Any mammal in our own size is stronger than us. A chimpansee would win any wrestling match against a human. If it weren't for our brain we would most likely have gone extinct, which some scientists claim we were very close to just before our brains gained the ability for planning and abstractive thought. But most of all we're best at destroying ourselves and the planet. We're more like a cancerous desease than anything else. It could very well be we're just a temporary species on the planet, more like a short earth catastrophe, like the asteroid that whiped out the dinasaurs, just before it's time for evolution to start over.

Numsgil:
Exactly!  If that doesn't sound like the workings of a pinnacle species, I sure as heck don't know what does.
