Thanks to Yao for pointing out the link to my audio version is dead. I've uploaded a new version where I hope it will remain forever.

Cory: Maybe you could update the link? Thanks.

Just after "Japanese fan-translation", you have a single quote opening the link to http://craphound.com/?p=2357, but close with a double-quote; this nukes the rest of your links. Please fix this; it affects links on your stories index so that I had to view source to find links to Human Readable.

Just wanted to say that the link to the french translation is broken.

Loved this story - I am busy working on building a reprap for work, to train people in 3D manufacturing (google it), which is literally a printer...a 3D printer which replicates itself, and can make other things too. 100 years from now, and a lappie might even be possible from a home-made unit...who knows ?

Goop - sounds a bit like acetal, but clearly its nano....this story isn't that far off in another way, as governments assume a more totalitarian stance as time goes on, and a revolt of this sort is surely in the offing...

Very quaint.

I went ahead and did a Chinese translation too:

Thanks for such a wonderful story! =)

Here's a Japanese translation by my ITETHIC student Hikaru "Anna" Otsuka.

Has anyone compared this with Nancy Kress's "Nano Comes to Clifford Falls?" Also a world with printers, only Nancy Kress is scared of them. She'd be one of the people banning printers. Such a good contrast between two very different philosophical and political minds.

Some folks have built 3d printers that can reproduce about 60% of their hardware. The rest is off-the-shelf parts.

The project homepage is here: http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/WebHome

I asked my mother to do a translation in Hiligaynon:

Something I always disliked about most "cyber-thrillers" -- the McGuffin file (software, chip, hardware) is always a non-reproducible Quest Object, that is, the hero can't just copy it onto some kind of server (good idea), spam USENET with it (better idea), or simply keep the specs and toss the offending atoms (and then get viral with the schematic). At last someone's gotten wise. Great story, Cory.

Hi Cory, I've translated this into Romanian as well. Perhaps some of your readers might find it useful -

If printing more printers was possible, wouldn’t it have been the first thing anyone tried to do with one?

My first wish would be a wish for more wishes.

Cool story, I just came across it. Reminds me of an old Damon Knight novel called "A For Anything" so I guess there's sort of an archetype underlying both.

Funnily enough, I found one of these Printcrime booklets (small little 'folded up' in booklet or 'zine' form) on the TTC in Toronto a few months back. I still have the copy lying around in my apartment somewhere, it was quite a good read.
