Throw in the quote before one of the chapters about how surprising it was that vampires believed in god, and the conversation with Portia at the end just to drive the point home. The End.Ĭlick to expand.That's definitely the impression I got: unlike Jukka Sarasti in Blindsight, Valerie's story really emphasized the whole vampires-were-tweaked-to-kill-each-other-on-sight thing. Daniel's brain is being rewritten, I don't know why, what the fuck is going on.ĭaniel kills Valerie, what the fuck is going on.ĭaniel kills himself but fails, and now he is a p-zombie or something and he is going to go and do something and there are Jesus metaphors. The Colonel's brain is re-written by the Scramblers via Siri who they have compromised.ĭaniel and Valerie are alone. Valerie knows all and controls all, escapes her demise through double-trickery. Go to Icarus, meet slime mold, slime mold attempts to eat everyone as biological samples. Valerie, despite being just one brain, outwits the Bicamerals and makes sure exactly the people she wants are on the mission to Icarus. The Scramblers sent a computational slime mold to Icarus, and have also gutted Siri and replaced him.
OK, so in between Watts' repeated explanations and demonstrations of how anything that's not a human is infinitely better than a human and how complex chaotic systems can be trivially manipulated if you have a big enough brainpan, I sort of lost track of what actually happened. So, I've just read and enjoyed Echopraxia, but I have no idea what happened.
