MicroSFF Once I was dead, it was curiously easy to accept it.
“Where are you taking me?” I asked.
Death extended a bony finger, pointing at a tall tower in the distance.
“What is that?”
“Your unread books. Unwatched films. Unplayed games. Etcetera.”
“Oh. How much time do I have?”
“All.”

yarden_shafir My teenage brother’s coding teacher is telling them to keep variable names short - 1-2 characters, to make their code shorter and save space.
If you teach, please don’t do this.
Im trying to undo the damage now.

@TheMcVariations @Glassworks18 Yes indeed. I liked it a lot but I’ve only read it once so far. Like Blindsight I think it’s going to take me a couple more reads to really appreciate it properly.

Sudden reference to the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo on a podcast and I find myself oddly transported back to Warwick Uni, where I must’ve first heard of them… memory is an odd thing.

@Glassworks18 @TheMcVariations Absolutely seconded. This and Echopraxia are among my favourites of “out there” SF that’s probably too smart for me to be reading.
