Scientists Horrified by "Mirror Life" That Could Wipe Out Biology As We Know It A group of the world's leading biologists have called for an immediate halt on a technology you've probably never even heard of — but is so dangerous that it could devastate life itself on this planet...

This article suggests we may be on the verge of a apocalyptic technology (no, not AI). But in Roger Zelazny's "Doorways in the Sand", a favorite of mine from decades ago, he suggested it might also make cheap scotch taste great, so there's that!

I can't argue with the choice of the top two games here 😀. I remember discussions with @davidbfox.com and @grumpygamer.com about abruptly ending the IJ&TLC game by punching Hitler was a good idea, I'm glad for at least this reviewer appreciated it! www.si.com/videogames/g...
