Shields, Maureen R. Book review: Ring, Kenneth. The Omega Project: Human Evolution in an Ecological Age. Library Journal, April 1, 1992.

Quietly, I wiped fresh sweat beads from my already moist brow and palms, shifting my body weight to aim the pistol, my eyes focused on the clearing. It was a deer, a young male, maybe eighty pounds, as anxious and as thirsty as yours truly. My hand trembled as he glanced in my direction, my body shook as he turned, offering me a clean shot at his flank. I'd arrived in the woods before dawn, having ridden all night on my motorcycle. No lights needed, thanks to my night-vision glasses, no sound since the bike was powered solely by batteries. I'd been staked out in this blind for the better part of eight hours. Sweat continued to pour down my face and soak my camouflage clothing, and the bugs were relentless, but I'd chosen this spot because it was only twenty paces from the creek, offering me a clear shot at anything or anyone that ventured by. Truth be told, I'd never shot anything more lethal than a BB gun, but desperate times required desperate measures. When he wakes, Eisenbraun finds the ship deserted and no longer functional. He escapes to the surface of an Earth terribly changed. The plan has gone horribly wrong, but as he adapts to a hostile environment, he realizes that there is still a way to accomplish what the mission had set out to achieve. But he also discovers that he faces a new adversary of the most unlikely sort. Now his own survival, and that of the woman whose love has sustained him in his darkest hours, depends on the defeat of a technological colossus partly of his own making. To solve the riddle and save the former president, the kidnappers give Sean just one week—an impossible task to evade a nationwide manhunt and solve the most dangerous mystery of his life. In The Omega Project, USA Today best-selling author Ernest Dempsey is at his most impressive.So, according to Elon Musk, “Ω” is his message for “resist the current [thing]”, as the last letter of the Greek alphabet is the symbol for the unit of measurement of electrical resistance in the International System of Units (the Ohm) which he took this name from the German physicist Georg Ohm. It's like 'The Omega Project' reads like it's pieced together, it's seems like he recycles storylines, makes changes to it and the flow isn't fast paced. During the time after the Great Die Off (This is not a spoiler), Robert invents first one thing (GOLEM) then another (ABE). Much of this is done off camera as well, but both play long standing roles for the remainder of the story. Golem is basically a super computer designed to improve itself over time and utilized to help mine critical resources from the Moon (and beyond). ABE is a microchip Robert installs into his brain. I do not want to be preached to in science fiction. Some great authors can pull it off. Frank Herbert in his Destination: Void series, Orson Scott Card with Ender's Game... they pulled it off. This book did not pull it off. In fact... I wanted to put a hat on Oscar, I did, I am ashamed of it, but picturing him with a hat helped me finish the book. So after the chaos he caused with another post in Greek – he had previously posted the word “dialectic” in October – Elon Musk decided 8 hours later to explain what the letter “Ω” means.

Considera que lo que llevó a la Humanidad prácticamente a la extinción fue el ego, cosa lógica y muy bien pensada, pero su manera de combatirlo es implantarse un chip en el cerebro que regule absolutamente todo el sistema, por ejemplo si sientes ira te da un chute de hormonas que la aplaquen, y así con abolutamente todo. Lo que consigue, en lugar de su bienintencionado propósito, es ser completamente dependiente de ese dispositivo, ni que decir tiene que no logró ser menos egoísta ni nada parecido por llevarlo. Además, el chip prodigioso tiene un almacén de memoria inmenso, ¡y no sólo eso! sino que es capaz de conocer cosas que ni su dueño ni nadie en el mundo ha experimentado. Es como un Pepito Grillo en su cabeza que conoce como funciona el universo por ciencia infusa. To solve the riddle and save the former president, the kidnappers give Sean just one week—an impossible task to evade a nationwide manhunt and solve the most dangerous mystery of his life. The idea that John and his MWD-k9 and Becca are accepted into the Chiricahua nation as warriors is pretty funny. In case you missed the last 150 or so years, natives don’t really like us. How do I know? I have worked on Indian reservations for 25 years an am a First Nations decendant. Sure I have a lot of friends, but generally, Tribal Council’s are careful to exclude non-tribal employees/members from ANY tribal events and you will not lead from the front on any policy issue. Also the idea that there is a traditional tribal gathering being acted out in ancient Indian escape tunnels where elders have visions which the military takes seriously, is ridiculous. The whole special warrior knife thing where “warriors have to kill anyone that touches their knife”, is bullshjt. Plus as I'm reading, just dumbfounded at several places were Dempsey easily could have made the intertwining storylines better verse the way he did it and left a few out.El prota es un genio, machista y egocéntrico. Parece que en la novela todas las mujeres están diseñadas para calentarle la entrepierna, y deseosas de hacerlo además. Quitando eso, en un momento de la novela alude a su orgullo masculino dolido... en fin. Based upon the OSS Project Omega plan and authorized by President Truman, a series of secret shelters were built throughout the United States. Each shelter designed to be self-sufficient for long term survival and very comfortable for long term living. The hero and his Military Working Dog, Klavia, are assigned to one such shelter, Omega 11. For all the uncool people who don’t know what Ω means – This is the last letter of the modern Greek alphabet. The upper case letter omega (Ω) is used as the mathematical notation or symbol for the last place in a set or group of items.
