  • This 100%. Only a hobbit would bring their favorite cast iron frying pan on a transcontinental hike into hostile territory.

    • Short story about space zombies

    Jump

  • I've read and enjoyed a lot of Stross's work. Some of my favorites are Palimpsest, Colder War, Singularity Sky, Nightmare Stacks, and Accelerando.

    Again, thanks for making the connection. I wanted to show the story to a friend, but the details I could remember weren't much use for a web search.

  • I saw that happen once in a big presentation.

    There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but "cancel" is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.

    I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.
