I wonder if the fact that both things I'd like are modes of transportation say something about me, on the other hand they are also both homes.

Hiroshi Ishiguro is a busy man. Between his two jobs, countless meetings and presentations, his demanding schedule was eating up all his time. So he built an android version of himself to pick up the slack.

Basic food stuffs with adequate nutrition were available at all times to everyone. Also, garbage dumps, recycling centers, etc were obsolete because these machine were all over and everyone just "recycled" refuse at the molecular level. PLEASE someone tell me the name of this book......I've been thinking alot lately about it, and all the ideas/inventions/new technologies in it, and I'd really like to have my own copy. OK, sorry, that was a bit long.

If you look at it the right way, it means that you need never truly die.

That sounds pretty useful.

Ah, but in that story, didn't the main character get trapped as a passenger inside his own head?

There's usually a catch.
