Along these lines, list members who haven't done so may wish to read Neal
Stephenson's SNOWCRASH. It is not only in part about language and memes, but
offers several strong visions of the future. And it is a great read.

Subject: (culturgen) mutation
I'm touched by how the series "The X-Men" deals on the culturgen of
mutation. In the movies versions, it comes easier to mind that the story
provokes mutation or at least effects the culturgen about biological
mutation or effects the culturgen on culturgen.
The firs movie of the series deals about how governants deal with public
opinion in the matters of the mutants. In doing so, it shows how governants
deal (and mutate, or least differ from other versions) the culturgen of
mutation.
There are the normal people, the good mutants and the bad mutants.
Well, this is meant to be just a comment, an attention on the effects of
showing hi-tech cultural products. At all, I won't go ahead in analysing
this. Just wanted to share some thoughts. This is the list to do it.
