Extraordinarily prescient as time marches on

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2005)

The Terminator is an all time favorite movie of mine. No need to write about it per say, so much as already been said over the last two decades since its release. I was just a kid when it first came out but it stuck it my head as being forward thinking even then. The one improbable aspect is time travel, scarily the other sci-fi in the story is becoming increasingly likely. A new book called "Radical Evolution" by Joel Garreau explores various endeavors by DARPA (Goverment's (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) The direction that scientists in the book are taking is one geared towards making people more than human (Enhanced) and melding them with machine and vice versa. A sobering and profound look at how close we may becoming to a day of diminished humanity. Hope not, but the evidence to the contrary is compelling.
