Happy birthday to Ian McDonald (British novelist). Here's to Hope!

I just had my mind well and truly blown. I'm reading Ian McDonald's latest novel, Hopeland, and about a fifth of the way through he introduces the Music, a machine to play a piece of music that will take a thousand years to complete.
It's like the Long Now Foundation's long clock in a way, but McDonald's conception is more evocative and his description in the book is stunning in its beauty and power. It's the most striking thing I've read in a decade.
