If you wrote a book, what would it be about?

I'd love to write the next great American novel, but about the Internet generation. There's never been a decently-written book that reflects interaction on the internet as it really can be, much less the cultural clashes, sinkholes, complications, and flaming arguments that are involved. Unfortunately I don't write well enough to pull that off, but I'll probably give it my best shot someday anyhow.

Nothing that would sell well. It wouldn't be a murder mystery and it probably wouldn't have much sex in it. It'd either be about computer programming, or the way I think about things... which would be even less interesting to the general public about computer programming, since I'm not a celebrity. I guess I could change my name to Lance Armstrong or Bill Gates, and then people would care what I thought.

Probably an encyclopedia of every computer game created or some ministory series about various forums and the people that post there.

I would write about my life in a reflective way and analyze the psychological and sociological aspects that affected my behavior.

It'd be fun to cull through my random slips of writing and publish the few more interesting bits. I doubt it'd sell even remotely well, but there have to be a few crazy people who'd enjoy it.

Either that, or try my hand at something completely fantasy. I love books into which one can escape and it'd be fun to see what I could do with one.

I don't know what the other one would be, but one would definitely be my autobiography. Other than my autobiography, I am likely to author more than one book and on different subjects. History and detective work would especially be of interest to me.

I was at one time going to write a book about my supernatural experiences, but I am not going to do that now. I think when I go back to school I will change majors too.
