Think Easter Island or Chaco Canyon writ large. A doo run-run-run, a doo run-run
But what happens when there is no where to go? That's the Easter Island scenerio, the one that we are--incredibly, for whatever reason, consciously or unconsciously--striving with all our effort to bring about.
It is now the most likely--though far from sure!
there may have been some people who got off in the last canoes
THERE is the makings of a story. They would have been adventuring into the (for them) unknown. Say, a team of dolphin hunters out on the ocean thinks about what they are going back to, and what is bound to happen, how their catch is really not going to make any difference . . . and decide not to return . . . Brings to mind Kim Stanley Robinson's "Icehenge."
