message 51: by Bob (new)

Bob Lee (boblee333) | 32 comments I just read Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. It's about 900 pages long. At p. 600 it jumps 5,000 years into the future, with lots and lots of description. Although I really liked it, here's a question -- can there be such as thing as too much world building?

Sounds like he was more interested in building his world than writing a story.

I read her book on writing 'steering the craft' and found it extremely helpful in helping me improve my writing. I was wondering how her schi-fi/fantasy was. I'll check it out for certain.

Anna | 5 comments Hello everyone!
I read Collective Mind book and wondered one question. According to the book every person can sell creativity from their brain
and ask for that everything they want.. money, house and so on.
But the rest of their life spend like "a vegetable". And it's becoming a popular trend!
Many people live a wealthy life.
So I wonder what will be your choose? Money or creative?

This is a very interesting story and an intriguing plot. I Would be curious to read it.
For your question, money are important in the modern society, but a life without creativity, don't make you more poor?
