V for Vendetta Director looking at Altered Carbon
The first book in one of my favourite sci-fi trilogies is about to get the movie treatment!
“In Morgan’s novel, set in the 25th Century, human memories are backed up and stored in cortical stacks, data storage systems implanted in the human body. If the body dies, the stack can be “resleeved” in another body, enabling human beings to become essentially immortal.”
Snow Crash next please? Pretty please?

The Day The Earth Stood Still (and yawned) may not have set anyone’s night on fire, but at least it served as a 30-second advert for Microsoft Surface. What does it say about the film that those 30 seconds were potentially its most entertaining?

2009: Year of the lonely geek
First, Apple decided to end an era of exciting keynotes, childlike expectation and reality distortion fields with a final, lukewarm showing at MacWorld 2009. Then Apple’s own Insomnia festival was relegated to history. Now, it’s the Leipzig Games Convention’s turn to bite the dust.

Spacechips, vikings and serious alien smackdowns are only three of the reasons you should watch the surprisingly enjoyable Outlander. Now in limited release across North America, and with a UK release set for April, this quirky little film kept me smiling all the way through. Highly recommended.
Reviewing technology with an occasional sprinkling of art and humour.
