About the Author

Sandor Swartz is a very peculiar device, but with awesome capabilities. Characterized by four (4) limbs each with five (5) sub-limbs for accomplishing the most excuisitely finely detailed of tasks, along with a sensory orb containing the central hub of a network of over 100 billion (100000000000) neurons, a vision system with reliable discrete object recognition and 3-D map generation capabilities, and a multipurpose orifiace for nutient aquisition, oxygen absorption and carbon dioxide dispersal, sophisticated acoustic communication, and distinguising a broad spectrum of chemical substances, Sandor Swartz is a force to be reckoned with indeed! Sandor Swartz has, relative to that which such machines have historically tended to be, had a particularly intimate association with the forefront of scientific understanding of the universe. Which is to say, Sandor Swartz doesn't believe the world is flat, or the center of the universe. Sandor Swartz also, in regard to the norm of behavioral characteristics of similar machines, is far more perversely cynical of the status of such machines and their place in the universe, a feature the other machines tend to refer to as 'the human condition', especially cynical of those machines who gain status by appealing to early iteration concepts of ancestor machines who also believed the small, rocky ball of dust they occupied the surface of was in fact not a ball but a plain, and at the center of the visible universe, and only propagate such early iteration concepts by reproducing themselves faster than the other machines and programming their young offspring machines at a phase in their development when they are susceptible to being programmed to believe anything. He also gets ticked off when he reads science fiction written by people who don't understand the science they work into their stories. But rest assured, he knows more than you do. He has a masters degree..... in Electrical Engineering. Sandor Swartz continues to be an exceedingly cynical machine as mentioned above, and would leave this ball of dust if not for the lack of a spaceship. So if you have a spaceship, please donate to Sandor Swartz. Until then, Sandor Swartz will have to be satisfied with being exceedingly cynical on this ball of dust. And exceedingly handsome. So sit back, relax, and read about the end of the world. 13 different ways, from the twisted thoughts of THE Sandor Swartz. You know you want to.
