Metaplanetary was published in 2001? "Computational dust motes" features in "A Deepness in the sky" by Vernor Vinge which was published in 1999 so Tony Daniel didn't invent the concept. I wouldn't be surprised if the concept is even older tbh.

Good insight, thanks for reminding me of that also great book by Vernor Vinge! Anyway, Metaplanetary is one of my favorites.
