30.11.2013 20:25 gunnar@skipforward.net repent sinners! Funny and semi-hard scifi!
17.11.2013 17:00 emily@skipforward.net Original and clever with great moral craziness.
17.11.2013 11:14 matthias@skipforward.net I have the need to call this a horror story, although not of the usual kind. Great idea, very well written and, unfortunately, so, so true in the end.
03.11.2013 13:39 sven@skipforward.net Ingenious idea, great writing style. Greg Egan just has it. Unfortunately I foresaw the twist at the end, but it's great anyway, and I did not forsee his "solution" - particularly funny nowaday, because that's exactly how we solve problems in the 21st century :D

06.10.2013 15:01 andrea@skipforward.net Great storytelling and twist!
05.10.2013 21:59 doris@skipforward.net I do not like dark humor
02.10.2013 09:30 baumann@skipforward.net Excellent, one of the Top5 stories in the 25 story set, superb twist great topic about virus design and moral issues.
30.09.2013 15:17 malte@skipforward.net Egan's dark humor at its best. A must!
29.09.2013 14:04 heiko@skipforward.net the virologist constructs an intriguing set of virus to convince the world to live morally. Turns out to have problem in it, you guessed :-)
