My immediate reaction when Neil suggested B7 fic in cyberspace was to instantly flash onto two cliches: the out-of-control holodeck simulation seen so often on Trek, and the dreaded "and then he woke up and it was all a computer simulation." I have the horrible, sinking feeling that if I ever tried to write a B7 cyberspace story, it'd somehow end up turning into one of those, whether I wanted it to or not...
I think I have a big advantage here. I'd loved B7 for approaching 20 years when I saw my first-ever Trek, and the Trek episodes (all flavours, or should that be flavors) combined I've seen would probably still be in single figures.
Ob B7: What do people think the computers of the future will really be like? Do people agree that the Federation computer technology we see on screen is just a smokescreen concealing the Real Thing? How does one go about programming them? -- I've never believed the prodding-with-fancy-screwdrivers line.
