Transhuman Conflict

Hello Gang,
Since we were discussing Immortality and other transhumanist/Extropian topics recently
the following posting from the Arthur C. Clarke mailing list will be of interest to some members: Please let me point out that the "Alex" who made the following posting isn't me. He works for Los Alamos National Laboratory and has a Ph.D.. I on the other hand am just a humble High School Physics teacher.

Dear fellow members:
I work at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where, among
other
activities, research is conducted in simulating artificial
societies.
Recently, a large-scale supercomputer study was released
simulating
the effects of a terror strike in virtual cities in the
United States.

Along these lines, I have recently published a science
fiction book to
popularize the state-of-the-art post-Darwinian,
post-corporeal
research ideas I like to work on ( ISBN: 1419609440 ). It
received a
glowing review from a New York Times best selling author.
It is
available at Amazon.com at:

Should you be interested, the "Buy Now" button is missing
(will be
fixed in a few days) BUT the "1 used & new" button works.
I encourage you to read the online reviews and would
welcome feedback
from fellow members.
With warm regards,
Alex
