A wonderfully written story about the adult years of growing up, on a backdrop of the intense creative processes of video game design. I want these games to be real. I want to feel the characters expression through their art.

There are books where it’s a novel situation played out through understandable and straightforward characters. And then there are books where you have no idea how someone can keep so many deep actors in their head, you wonder if they were real people. Each character with their own motivations, and perspective. Sometimes I cheered for them. Sometimes I hated them. Always I loved them.

In any case, it’s a beautiful story. Heartbreaking and tragic.

I found out about this from this wonderful thread on the history of terminals kolektiva.social/@beka_valentine/111133366986262583

It’s not that complicated that we need a book about inputs and outputs… I mean maybe one does need this book if you haven’t yet groked this idea but..

Fun read

It's a fun adventure but the depth of the universe keeps increasing! I didn't even realize it was a slow burn, the flame just goes up really high!

What a twist! This was unexpenedently a slow burn. It kept getting more and more interesting and more and more of the universe unraveled showing it to be deeper and more interesting as the story went on. Even then, it's a wonderful "hardish" scifi novel. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

It’s a good pitch for nuclear and intermittent green sources and a call for further innovation.

The previous book from the point of view of Zoe. Well told and a good reminder that you can excuse any retcon with teenagers not telling parents the whole truth.

In all seriousness it must have been written at the same time. Pages cut from the previous book perhaps. Which leads it to fit very well in the series.

Lots of fun and a good button to the series.

Pretty good, I liked where it took the series

Might as well finish the series
