I read it, and am wondering when you'll be writing more!
I always wondered if any fans wrote their own version of how the Sterlings got home (and when - 200 years after JFK or close to their own time?).
My favourite scenario is that they're standing near the portal to go home, and Hal summons Nuveen Kroll so he can give him back his precious access crystal, then step into the portal to return to Earth. Whether Kroll follows them through and finds himself as a 'castaway' himself is optional! Maybe he could become an actor playing a lookalike of Jonathan Banks...
I love that idea! Kroll having to live with the Sterlings while he looks for a job etc ha ha ha that would be like the ultimate revenge!
