When a far-future academic wants to find a long-lost
asteroid, who better to hire than a bored space wanderer looking for a way to
pass his longevity? The journey proves to be just as surprising as the
destination in this darkly humorous science fiction short story
Memories
before reading
I wrote the opening line of this story in a windowless hotel
room, then I sat pondering it for a long, long time before I set is aside and
went to the hotel bar. A month or so later, I was in a mood, and so I sat down
and wrote the story. I recall that it’s pretty gloomy, ironic...but with an odd
feeling of hope. Let’s see what happened.
Review
after reading
I love this line: “Very good, then. I will know everything,
S will do everything, and Rhyt: you, as usual, will go everywhere.”. This story
is erudite science fiction, and fantastic. This is one of my new favorites,
with some great characters and a fun fake ‘academic paper’ in there, too. I
used a lot of political scientist brain on that one. I really suggest
you read this one; it’s the exemplar of the Science Fiction point of the
Science Fantasy Romance triangle.
