6/30/2023 0 Comments Evolution baxter novel![]() The possibility of other universes is not so far-fetched according to proponents of various multiverse theories (although it is certainly far-fetched according to their critics). In The Long Earth, British sci-fi/fantasy virtuosos Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter imagine a scenario in which these anxieties are no longer relevant: access to unlimited Earths, entirely free of humans. In many ways, it looks as though humanity is simply running out of room. ![]() Cities grow ever denser, nibbling away at farmland and natural habitats. ![]() Fears about using more resources than the Earth can afford to give permeate both the world of science and the world of politics. From 1950 to 2005, our beloved planet gained a whopping 4 billion people, a more rapid population growth than it has ever seen or is projected to see in the near future. ![]() 6/30/2023 0 Comments The sandman the dream hunters![]() ![]() His story is played out parallel to the Monk's, and can be seen as almost a mirror image. It introduces an antagonist, a selfish and wicked onmyoji (a kind of magician), with an agenda that complicates things further. It’s a love story of sorts between two of the three main characters. ![]() It would be a short book if the animals succeeded so readily so it makes sense that things go wrong. The Monk’s intelligence is tested and his worth displayed as he confronts each in turn. ![]() The two conspirators summon up pretend demons and other forms of trickery to scare the Monk away. A fox and a raccoon make a bet with each other, whichever of them is able to drive a humble Buddhist Monk from his home should claim it as their own, for a home like his is much better than a draughty old hole in the ground. The Dream Hunters is a stand-alone story within the extended Sandman universe so it doesn’t require any special knowledge of what came before and despite what Gaiman playfully claimed, it’s an original idea not based on any pre-existing Japanese myth. Somewhere in the heavens the stars aligned, and in my world a little piece of heaven fell to earth. It went like this: Neil Gaiman was hired to work on the localisation of Studio Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke, and through that process he met artist Yoshitaka Amano. ![]() |
