s.t.a.l.k.e.r.

Has anyone who reads this blog read "Roadside Picnic"? I'm really curious what the book is like, since it was an inspiration for the upcoming videogame "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl" and has already inspired a movie and an imaginary soundtrack (which is creepier than all get-out).

While I'm on the topic, can anyone recommend a scary game?

Update: Oh, hey. Looks like this tribute site has the book for download.

Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
