Minds, Machines and Evolution


TAKE THIS, MONKEY BOYS!

James P. Hogan stands among the foremost writers of science fiction today, and is renowned for his ability to combine accurate science from the cutting edge of present-day research with living, breathing characters in fast-paced, suspenseful stories. Minds, Machines & Evolution gives Hogan's thousands of avid readers both a solid chunk of highquality science fiction, and a look behind the scenes, as Hogan describes how his work came to be written, with biographical details that will make this volume an essential purchase for Hogan fans everywhere.

Read how a young girl raised by robots learned her true destiny. Travel back in time to learn that inventors are always misunderstood, even in the time of Og, the caveman. Learn about a political conspiracy more bizarre and sinister than any conceived by any conspiracy theory junky. And, if the idea of cloning worries you, Hogan will prove that you're not nearly as worried as you ought to be. Plus Hogan's thoughts on nuclear power, artificial intelligence, and the rise of scientific mysticism. And there's much more in this companion volume to Hogan's Rockets, Redheads &Revolution.

One of the consequences of being not unprolific in terms of offspring as well as writing is that as soon as each of one's children has had a book dedicated, grandchildren begin to appear. This is to the first, MARK JAMES.

Appreciative readers will be gratified to learn of my suspicion that I'm going to need a lot more books.
