Reading this all I can think of are the "ractors" in Stephenson's "The Diamond Age" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age).
- Vaskivo 12y agoI'm reading and loving that book. Of all the technological wonders of the setting, "ractors" are what amazed me the most. It's the perfect interactive experience, a full-time "Wizard of Oz"[0]. Maybe we can see something of the kind in the following year with the advancement of VR thechnology..

- ashark 12y agoThe first third or so of the Diamond Age is one of my favorite things I've ever read. It's full of great ideas.
