Cone Zero - Cern Project

STOP PRESS (10 Sep 08): A Black Hole needs an 'exit cone'. Hence CONE ZERO (published July 4th 2008) and the lemniscate on its cover. The Fix Review of 'Cone Zero' says: "You can see it coming, of course. It's like watching a disaster from a distance and being powerless to stop it." But Cone Zero as safety valve is currently saving the world! The Power of Imagination as prophylactic.

CONE ZERO (Page 129) - Story

This story tells of the statue from the front cover of 'Zencore!'?  And includes this passage: "Crashing, collisions, what was that ruckus? My eyes fluttered open and I felt a jolt of recognition, an air of familiarity. I couldn't believe it. Cone Zero. It barely changed. The only difference was the increase in destruction, how the shades of black had faded, and the stars - they looked loose, askew as if they could fall at any moment."

TO LET - Story

This combines the Credit Crunch with a Black Hole.  Perhaps a seminal work for our times.

Other stories in the book, too, are uncannily in resonance with the Cern Project that started today.

Other notes concerning the Cern Project and Cone Zero will be made available on this page as and when they occur. Please help us with these.

PS: Possibly considering CERN ZOO as a title for Nemonymous Nine! Thoughts?
