One of my favorite of his stories. I'd strongly recommend his novel 'Makers' as well, if you're into this sort of thing.

Oddly, I just finished reading that. Can't say it's terribly prescient -- it was published just three years ago -- but it does echo lots of things that are just happening now.

SF authors have always predicted the present. Given that most people seem immersed in the past, this works for them.

I really enjoyed reading that. Thank you for linking to it.
