looking for animal videos i happened across this thing.

It is truly chilling. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to see this thing with a big fat phenobarbitol needle on the front of it.

That was weird to watch, in the beginning I thought it was two anorexic people bent over with their heads into that machine type thing.

I have not read the book you mentioned, what is the machine that I just viewed in your video link?

Thanks

Fahrenheit 451 is one of my favorite triad of totalitarian novels. 1984, Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World. What they have going for them are that they are short and get to the point, and entertain while cultivating a wariness of power-hungry politicos. I would have to say that Ray Bradbury's 451
figured largely in my early waking up days.

HIGHLY recommended.

anyway in the book there is an 8-legged mechanical "hound" which, when the government really wants to dispose with someone, is given their scent signature and set loose to find them. It is equipped with a big fatty syringe of bigdrugs, which floats the "dangerous element" into a final sleep. When it catches up with its quarry, it injects and the person dies.

this machine WILL when fully developed be able to do the same thing. We're talking terminator here.

It's the first time I have seen anything that really approaches this kind of technology. Really, even as it is, I wouldn't want to be targeted by it, even without any weapons. in the first clip, it's got 4 large backpacks on it.

backpack nuke, anyone?

It's interesting you mention that book because I just bought a second hand copy of it this weekend from a trash and treasure market.. I look forward to reading it.

yes
although it might have worked better as a carry on sex romp
