Well I’m glad about Fansets. I have a large badge collection thanks to them.

EDIT: I can’t wait to see the Mobile Emitter at STLV, or whatever they are calling it. Would have been simpler to call it Mobile Emitter.

I played education games on a Apple II in 1998; I was in the first grade.

This type of advertising isn’t new. There is that famous (although the claims from the father have been questioned) New York Times article written by Charles Duhigg in 2012. A father of a teenage girl in Minnesota got upset for receiving coupons from Target for infant care related products. As the story goes, he later learned his daughter was in fact pregnant. It turns out Target was using some predictive algorithm to identify would-be mothers and straight up sending them coupons for infant care products. It seems ever since this article was published that they stopped doing this in such a direct manner. Again, there have people who questioned the validity of the claims for this specific story, but Target did confirm they were doing this.

Speaking of… Look at the cover. There is a Wells blurb.

You should read the duology (I’ve only read the first book) Monk and Robot, which is solopunk. The premise is that robots got tired of doing what they were built for, and decided to form a treaty with humans allowing them to wonder into the wild and live without human contact.
