wow... that spoiler was actually a spoiler. I was thinking "I should read that" till I hit that last line.

You should still read it. It's a very rare gem in the sci-fi literature.

It's amazing in any way you can imagine. In something like 40 pages you get presented with problems from several very different domains -- and proposed solutions.

Sorry about that, I removed the spoiler to not ruin the story for anyone else.
