Oh, I'm not so sure about that.
I've been entertaining the idea of a post-apocalyptic scenario set in space; and what better locale than ours?
The scene is the three-part Habitat, but with the Habs isolated from each other after the breakdown of the transportation system.
Much time has gone by, and our children are not as we would have imagined them. They have undergone genetic drift for multiple reasons. There is radiation here, and in the long term it will affect us. But there are also scientists here, who may try to do their part to prepare the children of Mankind for a life among the stars.
And there is the evolution of our machines, as well. Some of it, perhaps most of it, taking place without our supervision.
And what has happened to Earth? No one on the Habs knows, because trade has been stopped for a very long time, and communication broke down even before that.
Everyone is on their own, and they've been drifting in various ways.
What a playground for a writer, eh?
Bob, My Dear...I am waiting for you to start at the Beginning of the Undead Thread, and write like our lives depended on your historical narratives.
You have missed something somewhere...we, of the UT, are the perfect “story” material. So what’s keeping you from giving us eternal life in the pages of one of your books?
I’m not talking about the books you’ve already written. I’m talking about the Book that has yet to be. Never underestimate yourself, or your abilities.
The Flying Castle is the perfect venue for a Sci-Fi adventure. RUN WITH IT!
:o])
Nanite rampancy, insane AI’s, amok robots, what could possibly go wrogn?
When are you gonna start? I'm getting the anticipatory thrill up my reading glasses.
