Expect promptheads to dismiss this as being the ramblings of a "DEI hire" because they're confused by the dual use of "equity" in their title.

love how instead of celebrating the process of justice - where purloined goods are returned to their owners - coiners are fretting that releasing these coins now is an attack on the BTC price, because it's so thinly traded that people trying to realize gains are gonna tank the price.

Yah Skaffen is the best drone, obvsly.

Thx for the reference to Soldier F, didn’t know about his case.

Obvsly you've read the novel more than I have considering your nick... I might have to give it another go.

OTOH I'd rather re-read the non-M novels first, especially Espedair Street.

What is it with Rats extolling The Player of Games above other Culture novels? It's the one HN likes best too. It's probably the only one I've not re-read. Maybe it's how the main character is kinda seduced by the parody of patriarchal capitalism in the culture he's coerced to infiltrate.

Personally I think Use of Weapons is the best one.

Couldn't find the way to turn this into a pithy blog post so just dumping it here:

does anyone else feel that the rationalists want a future of a billion trillion virtual humans, each and every one with an immutable gender bit set?
