Peter Watts on EP
Sci-fi writer Peter Watts commented on Eclipse Phase on his blog today. Thanks Peter!
In addition to writing some great books and being one of the influences for Eclipse Phase, Peter is noteworthy as also adopting the Creative Commons model with his books. His novels are available online--check them out! (Blindsight here, and Starfish, first book in the Rifter trilogy, here--and that's just to start!)
