The Freeze-Frame Revolution

from rivkat

Sunday is an evolutionary specialist on a ship that travels through the galaxies at relativistic speeds, planting wormhole gates so that humanity-or its successors-can have access to FTL travel. Most of her time is spent in stasis, so 60 million years or so have gone by and the things that come o...

There is a lot of technical mumbo jumbo that you have to slog through, but the underlying story is worth it. Perhaps I'll re-read it someday to see if I can figure out what ...

Most of the work is performed by an AI called the Chimp, but sometimes it needs human input to make decisions. The story begins ab...

The notion of the AI needing to wake up humans to handle some of the trickier judgments is both amusing and interesting. There's also a sneaky dig...

Long ago, Earth built and launched the interstellar spacecraft Eriophora, a sixty (or so) kilometer asteroid, threaded with tunnels and chambers, nestling a singularity at its heart. Flying at 1/5 the speed of light, it uses the singularity to create wormhole gates at the stars it visits, enablin...
