Writing your own story around the same ideas is not plagiarism at worst, it's being unoriginal.

I have a CS degree and a history that includes working as a software developer and being a computer magazine columnist back during the 1990s. I guess I simply paid attention to the social effects of the IT revolution as I lived through it.

I have not watched the TV show. I do not generally watch TV sci-fi drama shows. They make me itch.

Can I remember I remember lots, I say. How much of what I remember is true is another matter.

I was Computer Shopper's linux columnist for more than half a decade, from the late 90s onwards. Yes, I know about Linux. (My first review of a Linux distro in the press was published in late 1996.)

I'm wearing black leggings and a loose top festooned with a Menger sponge of empty pockets stitched out of smaller pockets and smaller still, almost down to the limits of visibility woven in freefall by hordes of tiny otaku spiders, I'm told, their genes programmed by an obsessive-compulsive sartorial topologist.
Charles Stross
Fiction is about human beings, first and foremost. (It's not impossible to write fiction with no human protagonists, but it's very hard to keep the reader interested ...)
Charles Stross
The trouble is, if you go too far towards being polite, the label that applies is doormat.

My favourite movie is: Dr Strangelove. (I haven't seen any films released in the past 2-5 years, I'm afraid: I don't do TV/cinema).

The late 90s were crazy science-fictional if you were inside the superheated steam bubble of the dot-com 1.0 industry.
