For once the comments are quickly and pointedly onto this shallow techno-ebulliance that is so prevalent in techno-journalism. What is apparently lost on the writer is Lodge’s in-joke reference to a character from his own Thinks . . . – Ralph Messenger (supposedly based upon Dennett), director of the Centre for Cognitive Science at the University of…
