I always thought the cats’ Lord was called Aslan.

Actually CSA, I haven’t watched Hack//Sign either, but given that it’s an anime it may well not explain anything for the first half of the show, by which time viewers will have any number of new questions that will never be answered.

So, like Lost, basically.

I would have been really pissed off to read a book only to discover it was a matrix or mmo. I cant imagine how outraged ive have been if i watched Dallas only to discover it was a dream and therefore making it completely null and void.

Not seen Hack//Sign, but i imagine its fairly obvious its a game from the first episode (and the back of the DVD)… rather than watching it for 5-6 hours before realising it doesnt matter.

Cats Have No Lord was a fairly interesting book of the “based on my D&D campaign” sort. In the second book, it turns out that the entire world was really an MMO run by an AI that’s come awake, and we get a totally different take on the situation by knowing that.

And yes, The Hidden Land came out long before .Hack//Sign.

Dude is doing his best Matthew McConaughey impression. Cats and shirts have no lord. All the cover needs is Kate Hudson. Best read with “Browned Eyed Girl” playing in the background to complete the rom-com cliche.

“Who would call their world, cats have no lord? ”
Will Shetterly, thats who.

And SI, you might actually be right;
Wiki says: “Will Sheterly…. best-known for his novel Dogland (1997)”

Who would call their world, cats have no lord?

But thanks for clearing that up Simon. You haven’t heard of the book, Cats have no lord? It’s the follow up to Dogs have a largely corrupt but economically viable monarchy.
