Can’t you just imagine how annoying the Noosphere is? When you’re corpulating an AI partial: ding, message from the Noosphere. When you’re rearticulating your neural architecture: ding, message from the Noosphere. And what’s the first thing that happens every time you re-instantiate your polymorphic recorded anima? Ding! mind-virus from the Noosphere automatically draining your energy credits for something you don’t even need. Life was a lot simpler before the psychemerge.

The Daily Mirror was owned by Lord Rothermere 100 years ago, and we all know his views on that Hitler fellow.
