But if it's Cory's blog then he can do all the self-promotion he wants. That doesn't mean that we to have to like it of course.

It is later referred to as "Mike". Please flay me with scorn if I'm mistaken, but Mike appeared in "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". Is that a mistake from an earlier edition of the essay? Awesome reading of this collection BTW! In “When the Singularity is More than a Literary Device” there is a reference to a computer “waking up” in Heinlein’s “The Man Who Sold the Moon”.

I plan to finish the whole book. Enjoy! A small point of clarification: there are six essays there now, but more will be uploaded as I complete them. I plan to finish the whole book.
