Most (if not all) of his books deal with the latest trends in technology...

So many questions!!

Anyway, can I use this to destroy someone's brain, or control their mind... erm, I'm just curious. I'd never actually do this.

If you could put your brain in a robot body, would you? You'd look the same, except you'd only be 5 feet tall. But you'd have the strength of 5 gorillas.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side

***SPOILER ABOUT PREY***

Prey was good until they went all hollywood with the lets have these nanobots morphing into human form and stuff...

The ending was definately screaming "PLEASE MAKE THIS BOOK INTO ANOTHER CRAPPY MICHAEL CRICHTON MOVIE FULL OF FX BUT BARELY COMPARES TO THE NOVEL IN TERMS OF SUBSTANCE"
