Weird, I’ve got Linebargers in my lineage, but I don’t think they’re the same gene pools. Loving the podcast! Thanks for the effort on this thing!
Interesting story, though to my fast pace neurons (caught by a hell like fever) it seemed like a extreme inner musing a little hard to follow. But in any time I can get back to it.
It is amazing what a range of moods, settings, atmospheres, styles, the Instrumentality cycle contains. And in all of them, even the pulpiest ones, the author manages to get us to explore our preconceptions and prejudices, our complacencies and comfort zones. One of my favourite authors.
