Dear Laura,
Why were the Norns made? What happens when they die? Is there a Norn after-life for good Norn girls and boys?

Dear Curious About Norns,
Maybe the Norns were created because Steve Grand was bored one day and wanted something to do? I don't know. After death, had the Norn in question obeyed the hand unquestionably, spoken only when spoken to, played kindly with all distant relations, and finally went swimming in the piranha pool when instructed, they get to sent to Silicon Heaven, a haven where one (according to some Greek Norn philosophers) can enjoy eating all the cheese and honey one likes. There is no sickness there, nor Grendels. On the other hand, if the Norn in question was bad, well... Let's just say death is a little less enjoyable. Some also say that there is nothing after death, but then, where would all the calculators go?
