Oh, I had no idea that she logged out. I love her books, especially "Bones of time" is pretty cool. Coincidence... I just thought about her yesterday while reading some newer stuff from Linda Nagata, they are often compared.
Finding out about Kathleen has been a very unpleasant surprise. Her unique voice is missing now, but I'm sure other versions of her continue to think beautiful thoughts elsewhere, and I look forward to meeting her in person in other places and timelines.
You should read "Zero/One." It is a very short novelette (you can read it all in one hour or less), written with the literally skill of a master. In a nutshell: the future belongs to the children, and the children will save the world with the help of superintelligent AI and other futuristic tech (Big Data, nanotech...). Katheleen sets the story at the end of this decade, which is perhaps too optimistic, but we could well see all that in a couple of decades or so.
I also like Linda Nagata, my favorite is "Limits of Vision."
I am Kathy’s sister, Mary. I just came across this interview. I could hear her speaking all those words. Thank you.
Thank you Mary! Kathy was really a beautiful soul.
