    I just re-read _Reasons to be Cheerful_ and _Luminious_ over breakfast.
    Wonderful stuff. While I like Egan's postsingularity ideas, he really shines
    when he takes a single idea and takes it all the way. Especially the first
    short story should really be required reading for everyone to get them
    thinking about their motivations and why they have them.
