        Read now.  Pretty decent speculative sci-fi on the Singularity,
        especially for someone's first novel.  Paypal the author a couple
        bucks if you like it.  Please don't bitch if you already knew
        about this from Slashdot or K5.
        \_ No it isn't.

A Casino Odyssey in Cyberspace which is a short story set in the Prime Intellect universe. It will be called The Transmigration of Prime Intellect, it is about half complete, and there should be news of it here within a few months. This online novel contains strong language and extreme depictions of acts of sex and violence. Readers who are sensitive to such things should exercise discretion. The "Jacket Copy" Lawrence had ordained that Prime Intellect could not, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. But he had not realized how much harm his super-intelligent creation could perceive, or what kind of action might be necessary to prevent it. Caroline has been pulled from her deathbed into a brave new immortal Paradise where she can have anything she wants, except the sense that her life has meaning. Now these two souls are headed for a confrontation which will force them to weigh matters of life and death before a machine that can remake -- or destroy -- the entire Universe.
