Ive written a ton about him. http://www.omphalosbookreviews.com/index.php/reviews/search/author/chiang/NA Ive said many times that he and David Marusek are my two favorite modern, productive authors. Which is why I was so disappointed with this story. He is usually meticulous, but something was missing this time. IMHO the story was interesting, but there was nothing bigger at the end then I encountered as I went through it. It was missing that big punch of deep meaning that I find so often in Chiang's work.

I quite liked the meticulous and subtle nature of the story... but I am a big Ted Chiang fan so my view may be tinted. :-) Have you liked any of his other stories? Omphalos,
