Don't want to ruin it, but I didn't expect this to be a narrative. Chilling and extremely hacker-oriented!
Oh boy I thought the same. I had a sinking feeling until I realized it's a story.
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.
Shh, don't spoil it :)
Great story. Only hiccup I saw was that he mentioned the patio was always usable due to their location but towards the end he said it was “enclosed”. Are there enclosed patios still susceptible to weather?
Enclosed patios provide some protection from the weather, but they are not the same as the insulated interior of a modern house. I've been to a house in Texas that had an enclosed patio that was unusable in the heat of summer. It acted like a hothouse.
This is someone advertising their ebook they are selling on Amazon. You probably didn't know that from the title, because it doesn't tell you anything.
I have no affiliation with the author, I found it, and found it interesting.
The title tells you the title of the story.
And you can read it on the website too. The title doesn’t tell you anything because if I linked the paper it’s referencing it’d spoil the story too.
Is the ebook the same as TFA or is there more in the ebook?
Based on the number of pages I'd guess that they're the same.
