Interstellarnet: Origins
“I presumed the pesky constraints of relativity: no FTL travel. One thing led to another… Soon I was pondering a comm network that functioned across the light-years. And, we homo saps being a tad competitive, about interstellar cyberwarfare. I’m a computer guy. I started writing functional requirements for the network. Human explorers will depart from our solar system with familiar languages, predefined protocols, and ready-made comm gear. NASA is already hard at work on an interplanetary Intern...et. It was more fun to imagine how an InterstellarNet might spontaneously arise—and thrive—among species that initially lack any common language, experience, or technology. At this point, I should mention that I’m not only a computer guy. Besides computer science, there’s physics and an MBA in my shadowed past. From that MBA program comes background in economics—also known as the dismal science. Sometimes in my fiction I play with physics. As often I play with computer science. InterstellarNet lets me play with all three sciences.MoreLess
