>> What little information we get on other people seems to imply they range from "Oh the horror!" to "adapting just fine," which seems to be pretty much the same as our current world.

> I really like the story because it's not so much post-singularity as trans-singularity. It provides a believable account of what a scale-of-years Hanson-style Singularity would look like, and how terrifying it would be.
