"TechnoSphere is a 3D virtual world that is accessed via the Internet. It has a World Wide Web interface that allows people to construct artificial life-forms from component descriptions and place them in the world. The life-forms grow and evolve over time and regularly send messages ...
The atomic wind catches your wings and you are propelled backwards into the future, an entity time travelling through the late C20th, a space case, an alien angel maybe, looking down the deep throat of a million catastrophes.

Entities are broken down into their constituent parts. The components and the relationships between components are put into a list. The entities are then put into competition with each other and those which compete most succesfully are mated with each other and their ...
