Review by Noobi
Quentin Beestro's first foray into publishing has produced a real
shocker. The former game-programmer with Apache-Liberal studios
who worked briefly for the much smaller Arrested Experience
production company has set aside his coding to come up with a
rather startling subjective appraisal of the universe we inhabit.
I shared a cup of joe with Quentin recently and asked for his
inspiration to creating the book. Fidgeting slightly he told me, "The
3D universe I create-in even if it's 100 X by 10 Z by 10 Y animated
over 30 frames of time is only numbers inside the space of a
microprocessor. When rendered it may look like a world-space on a
flat screen or inside a projected hologram but its actually only a
digital stream of ones and zero agitating electrons inside a few
microns of airless space. Very deceiving."
"And from that?" I prodded.
"And from that I concluded that we too are a stream of data inside
a more intricate virtual universe, nothing more, nothing less."
"Wow..." I replied sitting forward. "So we are just ones and
zeros?" I said.
"Oh, no, we are not just digital, we are analog; it's a much more
complicated stream of data."
"So, I concluded," I suppose you're through with coding your own
universes, now."
Quentin looked uneasy. "At 50 cents a download I don't expect to
be able to support myself writing... No, I'll have to turn this into a
game and have it animated."
"It's the way of the 4-D world," I replied.
"Oh yes, " he smiled, "It's the way."
