I learned we lost John Varley recently. He was the reason I started reading books. #johnvarley I gotta find another "drop everything and read" author.
Was just thinking about #JohnVarley sad to hear he had passed. First read persistence of vision collection in 1978. His writing blew my mind. Been a staple since and reread his work regularly. Amazing SF author taking technology and extrapolating to the nth degree. Thank you John RIP

Does anyone know if #FrankHerbert ever met #JohnVarley? I would love to hear them discuss gender based concepts. the stuff they write about gender is crazy and awesome, but on totally opposite ends of the spectrum.
I want to point out that the writer #JohnVarley wrote a book called #SteelBeach that (spoilers of sorts) had an AI that became depressed because it listened to all of the problems of the entire population of the moon and how terrible that actually is for the AI and the people that rely on it.

Hey #JohnVarley here is an unexplored idea for the Church in the Hyperion universe. Maybe @scalzi could take a shot at it in the OldMan universe :-) https://t.co/3msfcZ0HXl
