@tomrpike.bsky.socialMs. Space Linguist, You could have deciphered it. I gave you all the clues.
@tomrpike.bsky.socialYou're welcome to try to guess what language it is - it's a descendant of a real language - but frankly, I hope you can't!
@tomrpike.bsky.socialJust sold "Three Glyphs", the second adventure of Sister Arzhaana, Space Linguist. In it, she works to decode clay tablets on which almost every word is exactly three glyphs long.
The story was inspired by Alice Kober's work on Linear B. Look for it in @analogsf.bsky.social in a year or so!

@tomrpike.bsky.socialA cool thing to do if you're anxious about AI is read "Conscience", which is about a planet-spanning AI brain that keeps people alive inside itself to act as its conscience. You can tell your therapist that, for some reason, you thought this would help
