Ok, that was a new one for me.
ICYMI, this Bruce Sterling novel does have various anti-aging or life-extension angles and parts of it are pretty intellectually amusing (the arty parts were hard for me to take but certainly in keeping with the plot):

Doing my level best here not to link to dang Amazon.
Well, you get the ideaā¦ anyway. The kludgy archive.org link at least lets you read the book enough to decide whether itās worth your time to plunge into the whole thing.

Obviously convert them all into floating independent crypto-nations!
(That way we can lure the crypto-bros onto them and to their eventual deaths through mismanagement, lack of sanitation, disease and starvation - itās a win-win all around)

Thereās a minor Russian superyacht in the harbour here in town right now. Looks like sheās running north to Russia.
I would really like to see local authorities seize her but somehow I donāt think Norway has the backbone to do it before she reaches the border. So frustrating.
