This was a great read. The first part reminded me of "On Trusting Trust" but obviously it's just one part of the narrative. This and I, Rowboat are probably one

This was a great read. The first part reminded me of "On Trusting Trust" but obviously it's just one part of the narrative. This and I, Rowboat are probably one of the few sci-fi pieces I've ever read that didn't feel overly abstract or vague. I hope hard "computer science fiction" like this will become a genre of its own in the future.
