It’s pretty mind-blowing that I can ask my little wrist supercomputer to close my garage door, and instead of someone having me committed… the door just closes. Then I can ramble at my glass-slab pocket supercomputer about that, and it writes it down, then sends it to a bunch of randos worldwide.

@scalzi.com, just started reading Old Man’s War last night. Only 15 pages in (look, I stated reading far too late at night, ok?!), but loving it so far. Can’t wait to dig in properly! Or, fall asleep reading it too late every night, progressing 2 paragraphs at a time. Still…
