(urth) started my second read of New Sun

[Lane Haygood]

The "HTW" or Heaven of the Forms from Plato/neoplatonism and Wolfe's
good-natured piracy of kabbalistic terminology share a common cultural
source and still crop up in more modern philosophy (Leibniz,
Plantinga, David Lewis, etc.).  It's all very interesting, at least to
a philosophy geek like me.

I always like it when very different authors mine the same ideas and
come up with differnet-sounding though very similar in form plot
points.
