Mmm, I know what you're saying, but I think that the set dressing is always going to surround an emotional core we understand. The technology might as well be magic. It's therefore not that big a deal to wrap your head around it in human terms. Sci-Fi nerds like consistency, though, and the intricacies being played out at extreme depth. The whole "intricacies" thing is the crucial part. Great writers take basic ideas and stretch the metaphors they represent into really well-contrived central themes that would be hard to see - if they didn't take those metaphors and run with them. I'm not saying exurbia doesn't do this, mind you. He evokes pretty strong emotional themes out of metatextual space, and it is enviable that he is organized enough to x-tuple check his work; thereby he polishes it to a mirror sheen. The technologies employed are generally not the most important part. Ultimately, the human emotions that follow the logic explaining the technology are. The good writer shows us why we should care about this magical technology or setting because it makes this character do this for that purpose. When we write good emotions, we have the foundation of good writing in general. :0)

The galaxy taunts me, just as it taunts you, and others. It calls for us knowing that we wont live long enough to answer. It puts on a show we cant pay for, pulling up a chair we cant reach. The galaxy isnt calling us, it's calling for someone worth its time. Perhaps a race that managed to leave and is just now coming home. Maybe a race that found the path to the multitudes of stars and lived the trip in its entirety, like a child telling a stranger about everything that excited them about their existence alone. Whatever the case, the galaxy is far, far out of our league.

This is one of the best short stories I've heard! I have a couple of thoughts on it, and even though no one will read it, I just want to blow them out. I think the main underlying theme of the story is to take risks and be bold, as shown with Paula Hammond's future's description, and the aline's description where the narrator dies in a starship to a particular place (unable to spell it), and that he will think back and realize how truly boring and dull his life was, andthat he would realize his passions at the last moment. I also think the ending hints at, perhaps, the lantern was coming back because the narrator was actually a past self of the Lantern, and it wanted to do that occasional ritual where they would visit their past selves. I really like this sort of ambiguous endings and details that allow the reader to interpret and come up with what the story means!

I decided to order this book and I planned on writing a comment here when I was done. But after finishing the book I didn't know what to say really. I was full of...thoughts and ideas but well too many to make sense of in a single comment. And so...rather than saying how good of a writer you or how intresting your thoughts are I decided to write a story of my own. And so...that's what I am doing. Writing a book of thoughts, of ideas. For my eyes, for my mind only. Why? Well. I know not the answer to such a thing. I am curious about what will become of my story. I decided not to write it in a standard way. After seeing your idea of having multiple stories in the same setting I decided to do something very similar. A story, not entirely my own built by many ideas cramped together and a story entirely my own. Hard to explain. But well. I hate happy endings. And so, nobody in my story is perpetually happy. Nothing is perpetually right. And in the end, they all die in tragedy. And in the end, everything dies in tragedy. What am I even saying? Is this your books fault? Lol. However, I can say with absolute certainty that I do not regret buying your book.

The Hidden Reality: *SPOILER* The Lantern, knowing all that there is to be known, must actually be living a most depressive life. Nothing he does is free will, but out of a necessity to direct a timeline. He is essentially a cog in the machine of time. The Lantern provides his past self with the argument that if he continues life as it is, he will use his free will to squander opportunities life throws at him and die with an opened perspective and regret. The proposal the Lantern offers to his past self is actually the transition of seeing life as free will to seeing time in its entirety. This essentially would put his future life on automated time-loop of; seeing the future, directing the present, seeing the future, directing the present, etc^10000. No choices ever made would be new. It would be the equivalent of transcribing a book word for word, over and over. To me is sounds like an eternal sentencing to boredom and depression; the ironic counter to the promise of getting away from his present life.

@adamklaits6379 5 жыл бұрын

Sure it may be all determined and inevitable, but why should that make him depressed? If he is still doing the things that make him happy and give his life meaning it shouldn't matter if he wouldn't have done anything else.

@Corvaric 5 жыл бұрын

For me its: WARNING DON'T LOOK IF NOT HAVE WATCHED YET! READY? OKAY PRESS Read more \/ It's Hidden Reality for me is that Fate can't be broken, the past can't be changed. Whatever has happened in the past stays constant, the future? CONSTANT. This is the illusion of choice, it looks like you can make the future, your destiny, but it's already made.

Lanterns are not eternal. He said so. So that would be a fantastic journey still. And its not necessarily has to be a loop. It can just be a perpetual like life. Maybe started by someone else, then they were given the option if they want to do this version of beginning.
