@dthompson I only discovered Vernor Vinge recently and really liked that novel. I thought it was an interesting conceit to have AI become less capable as you approach the centre of the galaxy. It was some really fun world building.

@kryptec yeah the "zones of thought" concept makes for a lot of interesting scenarios. the skroderiders and tines are very cool otherworldly species. I also like that due to the vast distances that information needs to travel for galactic communication that newsgroups have persisted lol
