Afterward:
...Basically, I have an apology and a prediction.
The apology is for the unrealistically slow rate of technological
growth predicted. Part of that is reasonable, I suppose. A general
war, like the one I put in 1997, can be used to postpone progress
anywhere from ten years to forever. But what about after the
recovery? I show artificial intelligence and intelligence
amplification preceeding at what I suspect is a snail's pace. Sorry.
I needed civilization to last long enough to hang a plot on it.
