But the reference to the Gordian Knot might be lost to most teenagers now days. I'm still wondering about Jijo's big moon, Loocen. Will there be giant snakes there that try to kill everyone? I see the name and I keep thinking Laokoon Group, the Greek statue. Maybe Dr. Brin named it so just because the Synthian is going to be able to sell off all of its technology. And the three most important things in retail are loocention, loocention, loocention. My head hurts a lot too.
