>> I'll admit that I personally feel Ted Chiang has mined out the [](#s ""literal celestial sphere" idea, between "Tower of Babylon" and "Exhalation,"") but I'd love to be proved wrong.

>>> **u/dalitt** [+2] (14 hours later)
|

>>>
|
||
>>> I think plenty remains to do -- both of Chiang's stories are about [](#s "the mechanics of a 'literal celestial sphere'") but there's plenty to say about the social effects of finding out that you live in one.

>> Agreed! Scott's past stuff is up with with Yudkowsky's best, so I'm as hyped for this as I'd be for PBDATB.

>>> I'm not gonna get bothered looking for specific posts, but it's hard to call saying that calling a conservative movement racist also means you're a potential murderer, or believing the ess-jay-double-yoos are infiltrating geek culture to make fun of twue nerds, anything else than paranoid reactionary crap.
