Non-Biological Intelligence II

See Non-Biological Intelligence

I missed two other Andersonian kinds of non-biological intelligences:

The Holont

"star dwellers" on a pulsar

For the latter, see the 4th jump, here.

(It is convenient to be able to summarize a lot of information merely by linking to previous posts.)

Kaor, Paul!

And I might suggest citing as well Anderson's story "Requiem For A Universe," to be found in ALL ONE UNIVERSE (Tor: Feb. 1996). Esp. this bit from page 64: "I must simply proclaim that there in the abyss a flame appeared, and somehow it smiled and its spirit said with unbounded love: "Go home to my forebears and tell them all this was mistaken. They forgot about themselves." "

Ad astra! Sean
