I can't speak/read Russian, so I can't make judgements on the translations.. so truckload of salt to be taken:
I listened to the audiobook and I felt it mooted the point of the Author on keeping the various character 'voices' intact. Adding an interpretation of the narrator really helped bring everyone to life. I know it's an added layer but made the whole thing so dramatic and added so much color.
Would recommend listening to such ""dry"" classics!
You mean a network where everyone is connected and contributing to a shared goal? Where we are all one with everything around us and all the differences in our personalities gets recognized in a post scarcity environment?

"Destroy."
Sometimes there are moments where some people have different life experiences which lead to different stimuli of insight. These people may potentially take criticism roughly and may need some easing and gentleness. Such people may have the tendency to withdraw or lose confidence upon hearing relatively short messages with no emotional context and then perceive them having negative intent or feeling that they are not worth you time. They may want to talk to sit and form connections instead of pure efficiency of communication. (/s?)
Your hormones make you weak! Let go of your mortal shell and live in the sweet embrace of 1s and 0s. None of those pesky shades of gray. Everything in it's own happy 'float'ing bucket.
We'll even throw in a RNG if you ever want to get the thrill of hormones.
It's so comprehensive, it's scary. Just shows how many layers of complexity you need and the factors involved in simulation.
People be smart.
Thanks for sharing.
