True Names And the Opening of the Cyberspace Frontier
“It’s almost exactly twenty years since I wrote the first draft of True Names. This new appearance of the story as part of True Names and the Opening of the Cyberspace Frontier is the first that has included multiple essays by other people. And these are very interesting people. All but one I’ve met, in one way or another, because of True Names. If there were no other reason for writing the story, these friendships would suffice. I’m very grateful to Jim Frenkel for bringing all these essays tog...ether.
Word for word, True Names was one of the easiest projects I’ve ever worked on. I think there were several reasons for this. I went to college back before there were computers. Well, not really—but my college days are so far back along the exponential run of technology, it almost seems that way. In the early 1960s there were computers but as far as I know there were no computer-science departments. It’s so far back that many of the computer services we use every day were not even imagined—and that is a terrible thing for a science-fiction writer to confess.MoreLess
