Entropic posted:If you want really alien aliens, you can end up with some pretty bizarre stories SIR, I cannot properly convey the gratitude I hold to you for posting this link. Two and half pages in and this is the most... I diverge to convey; On numerous occasions the skillfully ordered presentation of concepts has resulted in mental states reminiscent of drugged ones ...this beauty is seeping into my mind. This is to Accelerando what Accelerando was to everything else. I also don't think it would be having this effect if I hadn't spent as much effort as I have to make my own "genuinely alien" aliens. So, yeah, thanks a bunch, man. Going to share this around.

Morlock posted:Some friends and I had a "What would you call yourself if you were a Culture ship?" drunken conversation years ago, and I'm still proud of declaring myself the Adequately Explained By Stupidity. I am going to remember this, and one day, post the results. Also, that is an amazing name for a Culture Ship, although may be more fitting for an orbital with a truly strange design.
