Reception
Algis Budrys praised the collection, saying that "There is a charm to these stories . . . which defies critical analysis in the usual sense."[2]
gollark: Like I said, it's not really very hard to do that (at least at a small scale, making stuff run with the volume of data Facebook deals with is a different issue), the hurdles are more, er, social and possibly legal.
gollark: The average person really does not want to do anything remotely complicated with a computer, which is problematic, and it doesn't really *help* that a bunch of stuff (down to the balance of upload/download speeds available on home network connections) on the internet is set up now to encourage using big walled gardens and discourage running your own stuff.
gollark: Well, you can't easily, which is the problem.
gollark: Because it's run by a bunch of individuals or smaller groups and can be networked together.
gollark: Which is why I like self-hostable/federated stuff.
