He's collected some excellent visual work from across the web that is well worth checking out! Thanks Colin!Five for the Future 10-20-09

Sci-fi writer Peter Watts commented on Eclipse Phase on his blog today. Thanks Peter!
In addition to writing some great books and being one of the influences for Eclipse Phase, Peter is noteworthy as also adopting the Creative Commons model with his books. His novels are available online--check them out! (Blindsight here, and Starfish, first book in the Rifter trilogy, here--and that's just to start!)
