Yes I actually do like how almost every forerunner ancilla was once a living breathing person who had their essence and soul siphoned and immortalised through a digital neurophysical (neural physics!) sublimation process!
It’s genuinely brilliant and makes perfect sense, knowing what the Forerunners could do.
This little bastard was once a MAN!
Midnight Pals: Another Forever War
[white house] Trump: so we're bombing venezuela now Trump: no reason, really, just because Trump: we just had all these bombs lying around Trump: and we thought Trump: why not JD Vance: masterful gambit, sir
Larry Niven: MR PRESIDENT, MR PRESIDENT! Niven: we heard the news and we came as fast as we could Trump: who's this Niven: we are Niven: SIGMA narrator: SIGMA is the secret code name for a think tank of costumed science fiction writers dedicated to advising the president on matters of their expertise (see issue #43 - ed)
Niven: of course Niven: for security purposes, we have to keep our identities hidden Greg Bear: I'm Greg Bear Niven: Niven: really, greg??? Niven: every freakin' time
Bear: i'm greg bear Elizabeth Moon: lay off him, he's trying! Niven: get this guy out of the room before i--!! Bear: i'm greg bear Moon: c'mon, greg, let's go wait in the hall
Niven: mr president, we heard you were thinking of starting a war with venezuela Niven: for freedom, right? Trump: no, oil Niven: Niven: i mean, yeah, i know, but Niven: you're not supposed to say it Trump: who are you again
Niven: let me tell you, i am all for this war Niven: i have a spotless reputation of war endorsement Niven: you might remember a little war called Vietnam? Niven: well, i was for that
Trump: i don't remember Vietnam Niven: Niven: well, i was for it Niven: and i think history has vindicated me on that front
Niven: anyway, SIGMA has plenty of members who specialize in military sci fi Niven: we could advise you on how to do regime change Trump: no we already did it Niven: you did it? Trump: yeah Trump: 20 minutes ago
Niven: now there's more than one way to do regime change Niven: but it is as intricate and precise as a well-played game of chess- Trump: we already kidnapped the president Niven:
Niven: you did what Trump: yeah we kidnapped the president of Venezuela Trump: "kidnapping" Trump: an old word but a beautiful one!
Niven: you kidnapped the president of venezuela? Trump: yeah and his wife Niven: and his wife? Trump: very rude woman Trump: ugly too JD Vance: haha yeah boss she sure was! Trump: shut up Vance: sure thing, right away boss!
Pete Hegseth: [lurching drunkenly into office] Mr President, we need to bomb caracas to secure the future of the white race Hegseth: America has bombed korea, Iraq and Afghanistan Hegseth: and by gum it put them on the map! Hegseth: [violently vomits]
Trump: don't puke too hard pal, you'll tear your face lift Vance: hahaha good one boss! Trump: shut up Vance: right away boss!!! shutting up right now, boss!!!
Niven: okay but mr president Niven: surely you need us to advise you on your next step Niven: for example, a lot of Venezuelans were probably injured and maimed in those indiscriminate bombings Niven: what if we spread a rumor about organ traffikers to keep them out of hospitals? Niven: eh? eh? Niven: that one never goes out of style!

Finished Rogue Planet and my favorite part is in the first chapter where we get a glimpse of Anakin’s early life in the Temple.
He’s building droids no one wants, sneaking out to race, and making Obi-Wan run around Coruscant after him. Meanwhile, Masters are looking on fondly, saying things like, “He will bring you wisdom!”

Arthur Machen and Robert W. Chambers - Kings of Horror (Fantasy Reader No. 6) - Shroud - 1975 (cover by Greg Bear)
more people need to read blood music so I can talk about how fucking scary the end of that one scene with his mom is. it’s so good. imagine you’re a washed up middle aged scientist who’s kind of an asshole and you’ve gone to visit your mother like a good son should, and she finds out that you’ve been fired from your job and that you’ve started experimenting on yourself, and really you’ve come to her because whenever you get in trouble she is always able to identify the root of the problem. and instead of being angry she looks at you and takes it all in, and then asks how long do we have?
