The Millennium Lunch Club: who are we?
James Flint is long. A former neoscientist, he was the inventor of spliced babytech and discoverer of matter-passion telepathy. Now retired, he spends his time pinning thoughts to the radium-lined pages of magazines such as mute and books such as Habitus. Power outages in his area set limits to his productivity: where once he played music he now screams obsenities at his computer. He'd like to invite the world to lunch because... well, you work it out.
