full text.

u/zajhein [+3] *

Thanks for that. Probably wouldn't have cared or even remembered just the start of it.

u/alexanderwales [+4] Time flies like an arrow*

One of my favorites (but then, I'm a big fan of nearly everything that Vinge has done).

u/Escapement [+2] Ankh-Morpork City Watch*

Thanks for this. It reminds me of Yudkowsky's That Alien Message, but Vinge's work is better in many ways IMO. I really liked everything about this - a great story.

u/Zephyr1011 [+1] Potentially Unfriendly Aspiring Divinity*

This is a bit dull at the beginning, but gets significantly better and is definitely worth reading. That was great

u/MugaSofer [+1] *

Well, that was good. Surely the tech-support and NSA lines to reality are a serious security flaw, though?
