Thanks you, crazy horse, for an excursion into a for me totally foreign world. Gives another reason to fight for clean energy.
Does the 'unpublished real-time novel' have more chapters? <hint, hint> :-)
There may well be some segments that fit here, so i'll give a look and see what i come up with, if anything.
Here's something i was thinking about when i began the experiement:
Side by side with the human race there runs another race of beings, the inhuman ones, the race of artists who, goaded by unknown impulses, take the lifeless mass of humanity and by the fever and ferment with which they imbue it turn this soggy dough into bread and the bread into wine and the wine into song... I see this other race of individuals ransacking the universe, turning everything upside down... A man who belongs to this race must stand up on the high place with gibberish in his mouth and rip out his entrails. Henry Miller, the Air-Conditioned Nightmare Skennah Kowa
