The way I read it, those that cannot collapse the wave -- and the narrator discovers he's one of them -- are not fully consciously human. They lack souls, for lack of a better word. They are not as woven into the consciousness of the universe as others. They are extraneous, on a cosmic scale. Nan In a message dated 9/6/2008 1:52:38 P.M.

Yeah, I voted to nominate it for the Nebula ballot. I thought it very well done, with some clever ideas. I did have one very, very big reservation, though. Why should I be suicidal about the twin slit, or because some people collapse the wave differently? I don't see it, really. Seems bizarrely arbitrary -- like some Victorian being suicidal because someone discovers space is curved. That'll likely keep me from voting for it on the final ballot. cd On Sep 6, 12:07 pm, Alicia Henn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just read a story that Nan Kress had recommended to me last week. > I had been Greg Egan's biggest fan. > Now I wanna grow up to be Ted Kosmatka. > His story, "Divining Light" in the August Asimov's rocks electrons. > Definitely worth buying a copy on the newstand if they're still around. > > Alicia **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?
