Excerpt: The Beacon

“All right. That should conclude the lecture for today. You can fill out an evaluation and update your trees in queue-room three upstairs, it should be the only numbered queue-room unlocked. I recommend you look into the lectures 'The Tsurumaki Evolution,' 'Scattered Stones and 22nd-Century Memetics,' 'E Pur Si Viviamo,' 'The Hierarchical Tree of Knowledge,' and 'The Border of Artificial Sapience,' as well as the seminars 'The Strangest of Animals' and 'Illusory Upon What Screen?' Questions I haven't had the chance to answer during this lecture should, as always, be asked in writing. Now get out of here.”
