--- End quote ---
There are three sequels, four books in total. The last one has a starting point similar to Lem's Fiasco: a person from our time is woken up in the far future, and tries to find their place in its very different society.

The last book also retconned things a lot to set the original events in 2015, not 2001. Considering the slow pace at which QC time proceeds, is it possible that "today's" Northampton coincides with the founding of the monolith on the Moon?
Is it cold in here?:
>the dimensions of the monoliths are in the precise ratio of 1:4:9 (the squares of the first three positive integers)
Which reminds me of a favorite bit of Star Trek fan fiction, a riff on Journey to Babel in which the Enterprise D is transporting all-powerful beings to an all-powerful beings conference.
Upon finding out that the 1:4:9 monolith will not fit on board, Riker (I think) orders

That follows an exchange
"This monolith is white, unlike those found in the vicinity of Earth which are always black."
"Difficult to understand how so advanced a race would resist monolithic integration."
It's a favorite, but I have not been able to find it for years.

I'm impressed that Jeff managed to make a completely featureless floating black slab look crestfallen.
SmilingCat:
Oh god, I can *hear* that comic title.
Though I do have to wonder, does this mean immortal wardens of time and 9000+ year old Atlantean shark girls really exist in the QC timeline?
Also, I have one complaint. Mumei didn't throw berries at anybody.
shanejayell:
What does the monolith DO with a latte anyway? *lol*
