Let me know when they stop by Massachusetts, as I want to ask them how and why they think one can put forward a positive vision for a transhuman future based on Ayn "even children with copies of evil overlords in their heads don't fall for her shit" Rand.
I managed to briefly see a copy of the book. It would've been a hilarious parody of so many things if it weren't actually goddamned serious.
Edit: Seriously, it's like a Chick Tract had a child with Randian fantasy and bad self-insert Mary Sue fanfiction while coating itself in the accoutrements of science fiction.
Fictional evidence, much?
Fictional evidence as a joke, on top of what I'd consider loads and loads of real-world evidence.
