    As a result, the year 2013 C.E. would be an alien “timescape” to someone in the year 1813 C.E. But the year 20,000 B.C.E. would not be an alien timescape for someone in the year 40,000 B.C.E., even though 20,000 years separate the latter example and only 200 years separate the former example.

This, THIS is exactly what I meant here only a smaller scale. I completely agree.

And I really enjoyed the way you wrapped up. Good stuff.

That was a wonderfully written comment flagamuffin. I love your quote here:

    I think in this generation we've finally grasped that change, especially with regard to technology, isn't going away anytime soon.

That's exactly right. It is going to be really exciting to see what type of species we get that is used to constant and rapid changes. A literal tsunami of computation is on the way.

And thanks, hopefully the rest of the series is equally as enjoyable.
