Yet we were rescued by that fancy, and saved by a myth.
The light is the left hand of darkness.
If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.
Almost anything carried to a logical extreme becomes depressing.
Belief in the lie is the life of the lie.
Almost everything is double like that for adolescents; their lies are true and their truths are lies, and their hearts are broken by the world. They gyre and fall; they see through everything, and are blind.
