K sai Wrote:Inspired by Inter-Library-Loan and Pratchett's 'L-Space' theory i.e. BOOKS = KNOWLEDGE = POWER = (FORCE X DISTANCE^2) / TIME.I refer you to The Science of Discworld and its sequels for examples of the wordline crossover. Now add the internets...
Given that Internet is esentially the biggest collection of interconnected books/knowledge (including esoteric and magical/scientific) to ever exist in the history of the planet - how long before it gains sentience and reality warping powers?
This could be a crossover with any fictional universe ever created - given the generally accepted theory that fictional universes are just dimensional bleed though, picked up by sensitive individuals.
Discworld/RL/Internet/Everybody!
Is this a should be? I can think of a lot of ways this could go very bad....
