swestrupI just listened to this wonderful lecture which is a very tongue-in-cheek account of how an unethical cyberpunk-style corporation discovered the gene complex that causes vampirism, their attempts to exploit it, and their hopes for profit.
Its all done in flash, and its mostly a voice-over with slides, so be warned. I found it immensely entertaining though. Oh, its also quite long. My guess is about 20 minutes.
Aparently this is background material for a recently released SF novel: Blindsight by Peter Watts. There's a review of the book here.
