[ Dramatis Personae: Programmer, IT Person, Client Relations. Not present: Second Programmer, Facilities. The setting is the Programmer's office, which is missing the desk, though the desk contents are on the ground, arranged as they might have been. ]

Trivia: The second-place city in the first and second rounds of balloting for the 2008 Olympics site was Toronto. Third place changed from Istanbul in the first round to Paris in the second.

(The book was published in 2004, before the Athens game even, so there's just projections of the future in it.)

Currently Reading: Roma Eterna, Robert Silverberg. This is kind of Silverberg's Foundation, events at important points in the history of a different Roman Empire while characters who haven't actually got very much to do with them set the background.
