How Many Upgrades Before the Mirror Shows a StrangerThe water had been rising for forty years when Kael found the archive. London was a city of bridges now — rope bridges and steel walkways and the elaborate suspended platforms the Corporation called sky-streets, though the sky was rarely visible through the permanent gray haze that the climate engineers called "managed atmospheric refraction" and everyone else called the Shroud. The lower forty...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

Between Any Two Points There Are Infinite Intermediate States, and None of ThemAt one pole: Adam Lin in the garage on Emerson Street, 3:47 a.m., the Bondi Blue iMac glowing like a deep-sea creature in the darkness, the 56k modem silent for once because he's coding offline, the Perl scripts scrolling past in green-on-black, and he is twenty-eight years old and absolutely certain that what he's building will change the world. NodeWire v0.1: a peer-to-peer protocol for...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Calcification of Samir Abboud"Can I see some identification, sir?" Samir had fumbled for his faculty ID, the laminated card with his photograph taken eight years ago when his hair was still fully black and his face less lined. The guard studied it for what felt like a long time. Then he handed it back. "Thank you, Professor Abboud. Have a good day." There was nothing in his voice. No hostility, no hesitation.

TITLE: The Second Law of Mae's SaloonThe establishment bore the sign Mae's above its door, though no soul in the ten-block radius of the Lower East Ward had uttered that name in over two decades. They called it the Saloon, as one calls a thing by what it is when there stands but one such establishment between the Hudson and the East River, and to call it otherwise is to call it nothing at all. It occupied the corner of Mulberry...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

TITLE: The Catalyst at the Corner DinerThe diner carried the sign Mae's above its entrance, though nobody had called it that since the speakeasy days. They simply called it the diner, as one calls a thing by what it is when there exists only one such establishment between the Milwaukee Road station and the edge of town, and to call it anything else is to call it nothing at all. It sat at the intersection of Route 24 and a county...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

TITLE: The Fracture in the Vinyl SeatThe diner bore the painted sign Mae's above its entrance, though nobody had called it that since the war ended. They simply called it the diner, as one calls a thing by what it is when there exists only one such establishment between the railroad depot and the edge of town, and to call it anything else is to call it nothing at all. It sat at the intersection of Route 24 and a county road...0 Comments 0 Shares 6 Views 0 Reviews

TITLE: Superposition at the Edge of the MapThe diner bore the weathered sign Mae's above its entrance, though nobody had called it that since the millennium turned. They simply called it the diner, as one calls a thing by what it is when there exists only one such establishment between the airport terminal and the edge of the paved road, and to call it anything else is to call it nothing at all. It sat at the intersection of Route 24...0 Comments 0 Shares 5 Views 0 Reviews

TITLE: Entropy at Checkpoint CharlieThe diner bore the faded sign Mae's above its entrance, though nobody had called it that since the wall went up. They simply called it the diner, as one calls a thing by what it is when there exists only one such establishment between the checkpoint and the sector boundary, and to call it anything else is to call it nothing at all. It sat at the intersection of Route 24 and a county road...0 Comments 0 Shares 5 Views 0 Reviews

TITLE: The Network Topology of Route 24The diner bore the neon sign Mae's above its entrance, though nobody had called it that since the networks restructured. They simply called it the diner, as one calls a thing by what it is when there exists only one such node in the local topology, and to call it anything else is to call it nothing at all. It sat at the intersection of Route 24 and a county road without a designation, merely...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews
