Able to read a little bit more lately, so that is what I have been doing. I'm surprised at being able to do so too. I need to write a little bit soon, I have a few more books to finish.
I read "The Law of Nines," by Terry Goodkind (interesting first name, don't you agree?). It was interesting. The arguments offered were a bit repetitive, almost verbatim at different points (I did something similar, but I hope I altered the argument each time sufficiently enough not to be that repetitive). The subject was magic but it could have related to technology (which was inferred and was a related topic). It was an okay read all the same. It was an interesting way to write about magic though, or even technology (as some would think technology is magical if they saw it for the first time).
One point was made that was very interesting. What would happen if technology suddenly stopped working all at once? The result is kind of the same as would occur if a nuclear device were to detonate over an area, without the fallout. People could not grow food, go to work, there would be no electricity so food would spoil, accounts would suddenly have nothing in them. Everything would be regional again, or less. Bands would start to form again. People would have to grow their own food. Masses would die off.
