In the future, the world's most powerful and wealthy adventurers are programmers. Oh shit.
I was not sold on the first several stories but I was impressed throughout with how nothing I could spot contradicted our modern understanding of science and its progress even though this was written nearly 50 years ago. By the time I reached chapter 12 (The Sims?!) and chapter 13, a psychological and political masterpiece, I was a complete convert.
Lost the thread a little at the end though.
