That does sound intriguing. My mind has gone to mush at the moment, I can hardly concentrate. Read a book called Big Machine by some guy called Lavalle... strange book with some interesting ideas but it somehow wasn't that interesting over all. Took me ages to get through it for some reason. Possibly cos it wasn't that good but possibly because I'm a zombie.
Realised I had one of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series unread on my shelf, dunno if I'm gonna finish all fifteen 1000 page plus books(!) but this one is absolutely the kind of undemanding nonsense I can bathe my brain in for a few days without having to think too hard. The first one is an absolutely shameless rip-off of Lord of the Rings but as you go it diverges from that - it has to have some extra stuff in it really, there are around 20,000 pages to fill if it carries on at this rate.
