Summary: 



Yes !! There is more than one James P. Hogan fan in NetLand !!

Read "Code of the Lifemaker" last summer. It was very well written
and quite humorous. Since then, I have read all his other novels.

I find his stories imaginative and fast moving. His technical
backgrounds, especially in the artificial intelligence realms, are
very realistic.

I like the philosophy and attitudes his main characters espouse.
I.E. ... [Don't ask astronomers about the validity of UFO sightings.
Astronomers aren't experts in this ... lawyers are ] etc.

For me, I'd put him right up there with Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein.

As for whereabouts, I don't know. He used to live in my neck of the
woods in the Sudbury, Hudson, Maynard, Acton area of Massachusetts.
