    Different strokes for different folks?

    Really there is a reason that multiple genres exist. I hate romance novels. But give me despair wrapped in a cautionary tale of the hubris of humanity and it gets me rock hard.

    I’m also a big fan of thought experiments like “Orphans of the Sky” by Heinlein. Asking “what if…” humans were in this strange situation.

    I also wonder a lot about the human condition, well sitting in the dim light of a foggy room staring into the unlit shadowy corners. The formless black beckoning me to return to annihilation, as I take a long drag off a cigarette and decide instead to check my Lemmy feed.
