Re: Turtles all the way down
one would think Terry had little relevance to an IT tech site
The inventor of Hex had (sad having to write in the past tense) a great deal of relevance to an IT tech site. And for someone who was not a scientist, his explanation of the scientific mentality was spot on. (I guess that was being a journalist who actually did the job properly.) As someone who recognises in myself a great deal of Ponder Stibbons, I can only say how saddened I am to learn that it is indeed Big Red Lever time.
I haven't read Raising Steam because I was afraid it wouldn't be as good as the earlier books, so there is that to look forward to.
