The White Stuff

Hamilton, Peter F. and Graham Joyce. "The White Stuff." In New Worlds vol. 64.

"All you need to make afto-aspro is a little chip of breeder and the right chemical junk for it to scoff. […] You tell the afto-aspro what you want it to be, and it just fucking does in. […] The function is hardformatted into the molecular structure. It can be anything you want" (112). This magic-like technology is controlled by poor people and destroys Capitalism; cf. and contrast nanoforges in J. Haldeman's Forever Peace (cited in this section). (RDE, 17/05/01)
