Here's a link to complete review of The Silk Code in Sunday Book Review section of The New York Times, November 28, 1999 http://www.nytimes.com/books/99/11/28...
Sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!Here's a 23-second TV trailer for The Silk Code (from History Channel special about science fiction):

http://www.adherents.com/lit/sf_amish... The Silk Code as Amish science fiction ... scroll down to Levinson
Amish Science Fiction???? That's a new one for me. LOl.
The link doesn't work. Says not found.
And ... They hide under the bed, lurk in the shadows - & I'll be talking about monsters & The Silk Code 7am tomorrow Sat (New York time) on WFUV Radio http://www.wfuv.org/fordhamconversations
If you missed it this morning, now up online for eternity http://www.wfuv.org/news/fordham-conv... ... I talk about all kinds of strange things, including the Neanderthals that survived in The Silk Code
I feel so stupid. What is a Podiobook????
The name is not too well known - there was one big article about Podiobooks in Time magazine a few years ago. Anyway, the name comes from a combination of podcast and audiobook. Podcasts are free audioshows, which you can listen to live online or download on your Ipod (where the "pod" in podcast comes from) or any other MP3-playing device. When you put an audiobook on a podcast, it becomes a Podiobook.Evo Terra and Tee Morris came up with idea, and founded their company with that name a few years ago.
"Take a look at Paul Levinson's book The Silk Code. Coincidentally, this week's PBS Nova episode Decoding Neanderthals show's Paul' s prescience in one aspect of the plot." - Gerry Elman http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/11...
Bernie Overly's complete interview with me ... the stories behind The Silk Code, Twice Upon a Rhyme, my work with legendary djs Murray the K and Wolfman Jack, New New Media and more ... much of this never discussed before! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDKztm...
New review of The Silk Code - not completely favorable, but "The story is about a genetic virus on a DNA level and it discusses DNA based technology used by the Amish. I found the concept fascinating."http://silkscreenviews.wordpress.com/...
