Yeah, I got the opening all at once and worked from there.

Indeed. <3 I've been reading more hard SF lately, and trying to reach for the 
stuff that really hits that sense of wonder and scope - the stuff that really 
expresses the sense that this is something bigger than our current 
understanding, you know? All too much 'classic' SF just acts like these amazing, 
viewpoint-bending concepts just click perfectly within our social context, and 
our vocabulary, and our ways of thinking - as if the version that's shaved down 
to fit in the square hole is a square, instead of a polymorphous hypercube.
