Forever Peace
22 yar after first winning the Hugo in 1976 with Forever War, comes a second Haldeman Hugo book, Forever Peace in 1998. These titles seem to have a connection but even though the war is followed by the peace, it is not a sequel. This one revolves around armies of robots where the soldier is in a bunker using direct input to control their actions. I have seen this theme before where a receptor, like the jack for a music input, is installed on back of the neck for access to the brain. I can't remember the name of the film. That one ended badly however this book ends in peace, Forever Peace.

The matrix!?
ReplyDeleteNot the Matrix. This film is last century. There was a couple on a space station. And they had an official visit them with a robot. He controlled it by connecting it to a plug in his neck. The woman had never been to earth and the man was trying to protect her from the medical technology that was taking over. One day he woke up and the visitor had put a jack in the back of his neck but he hadn't done it to her yet. They fought and the robot got involved as well. In the end she survived and made her way to Earth but unprepared. I reckon Haldeman got the idea for his book from this film.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that's much more complicated!
