Mana?
« on: July 25, 2007, 09:10:13 AM »
there was a story that i am trying to refind on the net, it had to deal with the rise of robots replacing workkers under the Mana system and the main character fleeing to Australia which was run by opensourcism. anyone know anything about it or where to find it or even its title?

"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

I remember that. It's called "Manna", and it's by Marshall Brain (what a convenient last name!), who is the guy who founded HowStuffWorks.com.

Here's the link to chapter 1: http://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm
