Posthuman Blues

The Mars radio show went well.

I received a nice email from a reader in Australia yesterday. He poses a rather pertinent question. In his own words: I can't believe how many books you read. Are reading and drinking coffee the only things you fill your day with???

Actually, that's not all I do (appearances aside). I also spend a great deal of time heating up microwave pasta, doing laundry and hatching ambitious schemes involving extraplanetary colonization and uploading brains into computers. It's a busy life -- downright hectic sometimes.
