Why not give up writing already?

A survey of recent state-of-the-arts in technology suggests some things may be finally becoming more exciting than old skool science fiction books. Surveying the news from events like SXSW and other weird, hyper-rationalized conferences of all things technical and technocratic, you get a weird feeling in the pit of the pit. Things like powerpoint presentations on space spiders, do it yourself blimp drones, invisible things beginning to speak, and facebook: alive and evil all pretty much point to a future of immersion far from plain vanilla reading. But hope comes in small packages, but it may be a completely non-western future. What is the state of the art for chinese science fiction, anyway? time to do some research.
