Upon rereading Gentleman Jole, I was struck by a simple question: enabling technology is a fine thing, but would you really want to start raising children at your age? And on the topic of reproductive tech, what do you think of Lavie Tidhar's Central Station? It's wonderful to see how different authors take similar premises in very different yet thought-provoking directions.

Would I? No. Would Cordelia? Yes, apparently. Granted she has a longer life expectancy than I do, and probably better current and future health. If I had the anticipated number of years ahead of me that she does, any number of life do-overs could look more attractive.
Haven't read Tidhar, so I can't speak to that.

Just finished rereading Assassins of Thasalon. Thank you for the entertaining and satisfying end (beginning?) to Adelis, Tanar and Bosha's story,. Thank you for Chadro's HEA. And thank you especially for Iroki. I must remember in future not to ask too small. My only question is about pronunciation. Where is the emphasis in Arisadia? In my head I go back and forth between AriSAYdia and ArisayDIa.

A quick thanks for all the lovely stories, particularly those from the Vorkosigan saga, that've kept me enthralled the last few years. Ran through "Dreamweaver's Dilemna" yesterday and I had to ask: Have you read Asimov's "Dreaming is a Private Thing" by any chance? If so, was that an inspiration, conscious or otherwise? Two stories that go in very different directions, obviously, but the core idea is similar.
