Telle était du moins sa conviction jusqu’à ce que lui parvienne l’email d’un mystérieux expéditeur, message qui contient quantité de détails intimes liés à son enfance et connus...

What Hacker News says
- Anyone else struck by the similarities between the description an "The Cookie Monster” by Vernor Vinge?
- His larger works are getting a lot of praise (justifiably, I read "A fire upon the deep" on a friend recommendation, then everything else Vinge wrote), some of his short stories strongly resonated with me, too.
The cookie monster is, IMO, a thought-provoking marvel.
- The Cookie Monster was one of the best short novella's I ever read, and its influence can be seen everywhere from Greg Egan's Permutation City to episodes of Black Mirror.
Edit: I got it backwards, Egan's book came out first.
- Cookie Monster was my gateway to Vinge, highly recommend.
- Anyone liking Lena might also like to read Vernor Vinge's 2003 novella The Cookie Monster, which at least ends on a bit more of a hopeful note.
- Vernon Vinge's short novella The Cookie Monster comes to mind:
