				<em>Spook Country</em> author William Gibson and Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling will be turned into life-size animatronic statues, which at some point will gain sentience and battle to the death. At least, that'll be the case if the Science Fiction Hall Of Fame is as animatronic-happy as the Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame, which it really should be. The two will be honored, along with Betty and Ian Ballantine and weird cyber-artist <a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~cjk5/">Richard M. Powers</a>, at the Sky Church in Seattle on June 21, at a ceremony hosted by Connie Willis (<em>Doomsday Book</em>).
