dsrtaoHow to scare yourself:
1. Read Dan Geer on monocultures: http://geer.tinho.net/acm.geer.0704.pdf -- especially the bit where he casually mentions that there are 10^60 insects on this planet, and 10^50 of them are ants.
2. Read Charlie Stross' _Missile Gap_ http://subterraneanpress.com/index.php/magazine/spring2007/fiction-missile-gap-by-charles-stross/
Shiver a lot.
