I have one of me holding a Koala, hand feeding a kangaroo, being in a hot air balloon, lots of great pictures

Apparently the story takes place around the year 2070 and is about how life has changed with the advancement of technology. People are able to connect themselves to the internet and live an "online" life, or virtual reality.
Anyway, it sounds like it could possibly relate to the show. If you have read it, what do you think?? If you haven't read it, Google or Wiki it and tell me what you think.
Sounds pretty cool.....

One of my favs in my collection!!

Glad to hear that you only walked around it as walking up is seriously frowed upon by the traditional owners. I have also walked around it and thought it was amazing. I never realised it was so big.

I loved it when I was living in England and so many people asked me if I knew "so and so" who lived in Canada.

You've made mention of your Canadian/Australian roots DownUnder. Now I'm curious.
What exactly led you to be Canaustraladian???
You may be a more integral part of the healing process than both Simon and Garfunkel combined.

Canaustraladian?! I can't even imagine how one would pronounce that!

What led me to it? Like hot weather - hate cold weather. Like sand - hate snow. Don't like America* (sorry American's on here...I lived in Canada for 20 years) - still don't like America (sorry American's...I lived in Canada for 20 years....we were taught it in school! )

*obviously I am kidding....most American's I know are very nice*

I read half this thread and skimmed the rest. I think it does explain a lot and it makes sense in many ways. If this was in fact the umbrella to the show the last 16 episodes has a lot to cover. I'm sure every episode will be loaded with info to be able explain all the mythical questions/clues surrounding the Island through out the series, to a "dumb" audience. What ever the "myth" is they have shown pieces of it but haven't explained a bit of it yet.

The MIW/MIB conversation at the statue was the "meat and potatoes" of what is really going on. It's like the whole island is a chess board with people getting "played" by these two guys to prove who is right about whatever it is they are arguing about.

PS> If this theory has some potency I'm sure they will either be showing a lot of Australia this season or introduce a new character to the island, some kind of "myth expert" that will "fill us in" on the details of the "big picture".

You know what we're taught in school? EVERYONE in the whole world wants to be American. We rock. \m/
