What a legend. Hexapodia as the key insight.

He used to go to library conferences somewhat regulary. I meet him a few times and he was always extremely nice. Laste time I saw him was pre covid. He was looking pretty frail even then but still signing books for a line of fans.

I literally finished A Deepness in The Sky a couple weeks ago and enjoyed it.

RIP
