Starship Titanic is Launched!
Jones and Adams go back twenty-odd years - twenty veryodd years! - and clearly inspired each other and were
inspired by the concept, which was "a little digression" in
an earlier book by Adams: 'Life, The Universe and
Everything'.
"...the
Starship Titanic had, shortly into its maiden voyage,
undergone Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure."
The book - which Terry Jones insisted on writing in the nude - at first
glance looks like a good 'Python/Milliganesque' read
and worth six quid of anyone's money, but the interactive
version looks beautiful!
We were treated to a sample of the extraordinary vision of
Isobel Molina and Oscar Chichoni - a fantasy artist and an
architect - and their team of computer graphic artists.
If you have a PC
with a CD-rom drive (Mac version available shortly) forty
quid burning a hole in your pocket, a warped sense of humour
and a lot of spare time on your hands, this looks like a
world you could get lost in clear through to the next
milennium.
