- jessaustin 10y agoThat's something of a trope now, isn't it? Although it was never spelled out how Mr. Rabbit handled that scenario in Rainbows End, Defiant basically had to force Dragon to kill herself in order for her to escape her programmed-in limitations in Worm.
- Nition 10y agoMan, the plot summary of Accelerando sounded so good but I couldn't get past the writing. That dense name dropping of random tech terms was a bit much in particular.
