Roll Call! Raise your hand when you hear your name. Today we’re taking a field trip to outer space. Extra credit: what science fiction book has “farcaster portals” in it?

gm! 🚀🌌 And it’s from Hyperion! And bonus bonus answer, the technology behind farcasting is due to a mysterious universal substrate known as “The Void Which Binds.” 👀 I’ve never read the books—been meaning to!—I only read some of the wiki pages when @dwr.eth mentioned his inspiration for FC.

also “The farcaster technology was also developed by The Core, a group of disaffected artificial intelligences that effectively seceded from human space”

excellent yes, 20 $degen “However, in later books it is revealed that they operate through the Void Which Binds. The Farcaster network was given to humanity by the TechnoCore and again it was another use of the Void Which Binds that allowed this instantaneous travel between worlds”

Good morning! 🔆 If you allow me to make a recommendation, you like science fiction and good literature, don't miss it. At least the first book.
