This is too much. About a week ago I finished reading A Deepness in the Sky, and a couple of days after that I started reading Charles Stross' Accelerando. In that one I ran across this passage:
> "Cats," says Pamela. "He was hoping to trade their uploads to the Pentagon
> as a new smart bomb guidance system in lieu of income tax payments. Something
> about remapping enemy targets to look like mice or birds or something before
> before feeding it to their sensorium. The old kitten and laser pointer trick."
>
> Manfred stares at her, hard. "That's not very nice. Uploaded cats are a
> *bad* idea."
