Oh, and just a thought on the feel on this... (if no one's said it already - it's late enough my memory's starting to go.) whatever the tech is, and however good it is when used *properly*, everything they're using out there is jury-rigged. There should be quirks, foilibles, and annoyances. This stuff should have *character*.

Oh definitely. I was thinking of my narrator having built a series of very basic robots and plugged them to plot devices, and is now finding himself with a crew along the lines of Bootleg, the robot that keeps collecting stuff from the web and selling it to people without access to the internet where they are.
(sorry, the quote button did a wacky for no discernible reason.)
