Very interesting!

In contrast, I think for me a tremendous part of the joy I get from reading science fiction is knowing there's another inventive human on the other side of the page. When I know what I'm reading is the result of a mechanical computation, it loses that.

But the real noodle-bender for me is would I still enjoy the book if I didn't know?
