 # ifuture
 
-An implementation of Futures built on Ruby Fork and IChannel.
+An implementation of Futures for Ruby using process forks with IChannel.
+
+The Future starts running right away, but isn't blocking because it runs in its own Process fork. If we wait until the Future is ready before asking for its value, the value will be returned right away. If we ask early, it blocks until delivery.
