I’ll give it a look. TY.

Is that before or after mandibles on our timeline

Both, but it's crypto-standard AI socialism after.

It's a deeply personal thing for me, Jay, when time is happening at the same time both after and before. I'm not sure I like this book.

There's a time skip.

Time doesn't skip, we skip time.

I always skip to time, otherwise I might stumble.

It's easier if you're surfing the time propagation medium rather than monkey pawing it.

I'm more like lazy river tubing the time stream.

That sounds nice

I feel like I could go for some turbulence though.

Turn it into whitewater rafting.

You could use some TURBULENT JUICE

I think that's exactly what I need

its not socialism? i remember it being anarcho capitalism

It's been a long while since I read it, but I remember that after the daemon takes over, pretty much every system is centrally controlled by it. And that's supposed to be a good thing.

Classic.

Way ahead of its time. Suarez basically predicted the parallel sovereign internet we’re now building — one block at a time. ⚡📡📖

The book is undoubtedly very exciting

but the ending is a disaster, hasty and almost spiteful towards itself.

The book deserved a better ending.

imho

the sequel was pretty solid

i read both over a decade ago, gotta go back and read again

Just picked it up on Audible

The Mandibles rec was so good. I’m not expecting this to be Mandibles level but I’m excited to check it out nonetheless

i think this one is better than mandibles, very different though, enjoy it

Thanks, I needed to use an Audible credit today. 🫡

Holy hell, this book is wild.

nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy won’t read it.

Interesting 🧐
