HTDA : How To Destroy Angels

First appearance of Trent Reznor since the end of Nine Inch Nails in the very new band "How To Destroy Angels". There's no much information about this band. Pitchfork indicates that "How To Destroy Angels" is Reznor's collaboration with his wife Mariqueen Maandig. The first single, "A Drowning" reminds us very well the typical sound and musical style of Nine Inch Nails (in fact, this song was mixed by Alan Moulder, who has worked with Nine Inch Nails in the past). The female voice of Mariqueen (formerly of West Indian Girl) gives a new freshness. This summer HTDA will release a 6-song debut EP... Wait and see...

Some videos about probably sequences and loops which we will found on the upcoming EP are available at http://howtodestroyangels.com

"The Currents of Space" from "Astounding Science Fiction"

First publication of The Currents of Space by Issac Asimov in Astounding Science Fiction. Novel has been published in three parts on Vol. L, numbers 2 to 4 (october to december 1952).
The Currents of Space is the second book in Asimov's Empire Series. The action takes place during the time when Trantor was building a confederation of planets that would ultimately grow into the Galactic Empire.

What he knew about the future could destroy a solar system…

…so they seared the memory from Rik’s brain, and left him for dead, a whimpering, thumb-sucking half-child.

Then Valona, a young, lonely peasant girl, adopted him. And gently turned him into a man again.

Hunted by kings and spies, caught in a web of interplanetary intrigue, Rik struggles with his own numbed mind and his unknown enemy in a desperate and one-sided race with time.

I, (Lego) Robot

At bottom, robotics is about us. It is the discipline of emulating our lives, of wondering how we work.

Rod GRUPEN, Discover Magazine, June 2008

Machines smart enough to do anything for us will probably also be able to do anything with us: go to dinner, own property, compete for sexual partners. They might even have passionate opinions about politics or, like the robots on Battlestar Galactica, even religious beliefs. Some have worried about robot rebellions, but with so many tort lawyers around to apply the brakes, the bigger question is this: Will humanoid machines enrich our social lives, or will they be a new kind of television, destroying our relationships with real humans?

Fred HAPGOOD, Discover Magazine, June 2008

Unless mankind redesigns itself by changing our DNA through altering our genetic makeup, computer-generated robots will take over our world.
