The Fifth Element by Terry Bisson
The Fifth Element: A Novel - Terry Bisson

I found this in my local library (not in the best of conditions) and read it without checking it out.
To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.

Yes, the plot follows the movie religiously (it is a screenplay novelization after all), but it looks like the author couldn't be bothered with doing anything more with the story than what there was. Some expansion of the universe and plot would've been welcome, especially since I know what the movie is all about.

There are screenplay novelizations that I loved ("Season 1" and "Season 2" of El Príncipe, for example), this one stands firmly on the other side of the scale.

Johnny Mnemonic - William Gibson,Terry Bisson

The film is from 1996.

 

Dialogue is crap. Acting is bad. 

 

 

But it is from William Gibson novel. Weird. 

 

So, what is the different between a human brain data storage and a hard drive data storage.

 

The answer is, data on a hard disk didn't really mean anything unless it is read by a computer and a human operating it, or at least have a human program analyzing it.

 

Data on a human brain, many might not even be accessible, don't need a media for it to be meaningful. As long as it is within the same brain and accessible, it is comprehensible and usable by the human who has this data.

 

So a human brain is far superior to a hard disk drive, more than a computer. The speed of processing is far superior than most computer. You don't have to open one file and then another to get the data. It is more like scrambled eggs, it is mixed in to all the other data already exist in the brain.

 

I like Keanu Reeves.

 

He will be John again in John Wick.

They're Made Out Of Meat
They're Made Out Of Meat - Terry Bisson Amazingly funny short story. Even though it only has five pages, it made me smile several times. Just read it guys, it's only five pages and available to read for free!


Also, credits to the writer for putting this as an author's note:
(Thanks for your interest in my work. If you enjoyed this little piece, please give a dollar to a homeless person.)

Any Day Now: A Novel
Any Day Now: A Novel - Terry Bisson An alternate history of the sixties, most particularly 1968 as seen through the eyes of Clay and his friends living on nearby communes. Rather disappointing overall with the historical changes feeling very arbitrary and not always completely in character from what I remember of that time. The commune life as well as individual radicalization from that time has been done so many times and I needed a better why and how for the historical changes.
