…which means I’ve been avoiding the Den. My current thought experiment, outside of the obvious what to design and when, is start writing short stories. I was in between books at the time, and so I picked up Stanislaw Lem’s Mortal Engines (I assume not to be confused by the upcoming movie (and I further assume based on a book)). It’s a hilarious set of short stories where in a fantasy universe everything is from the robotics perspective. Now, while I’m inspired by the work, I don’t think that’s the subject matter I want to go with. I’m feeling more of a hard science space Lovecraftian view. I’ll have to bang out the first one and see if it works.
Peter's stuff.
