TRIVIA In the short story compilation ''Luminous'', the word "luminous" occurs exactly once in every story (except for the title story ''Luminous'' in which it occurs many times). Continuing the tradition, a large number of Egan's other published novels and short stories include the word "luminous" exactly once. In an issue of the Top 10 Comic Book , an AI officer is asked whether he would have ethical issues with transferring his mind into a new body for purposes of undercover work. He answers that, as he is a "High Church Eganite", he would have no problem. FOOTNOTES EXTERNAL LINKS
