Same idea - different direction I hope!

Our trip starts tomorrow so will be off until next week. So here's something to think about. Why is it that every year you get pairs of books that are so similar in subject that the authors could've been looking over each others shoulders while they were writing them. I'm not saying that they did I'm saying that ideas are viral almost like a radio station you can tune into if you know how. Just by comparing the blurb Neuropath shares many traits with Mariposa by Greg Bear. I may try and read Mariposa since it doesn't come out until November. Another thing the title didn't exactly shout tech thriller at me in fact it made me think of flower arranging!
