Mmmm and interesting title for sure, and with a title like that I just had to click on it.
The story it's self was also quite interesting, although a little lacking in the technical details that I crave. I don't find that to uprising, however. The sort of details I'd like would probably make the story very uninteresting to most people.
However none of this has any thing to do with the reason I chose to post this in my blog. No the reason for this posting came right at the bottom of the article. The use of the word now-caster is the reason. I've seen this 'new' word before. It was used in Burce Sterlings book Heavy Weather.
Another case of a sci-fi predicting, in some small way, the future.
