So, it's a very optimistic story. If some of you are utterly despaired, well of course it certainly won't fix the problem(s), but it could be food for thought.

In general, I'd be curious to know what did you think of this story (its very long tho compared to my usual posts, so theyre might not be a lot of readers)

Thinking of adding a comment section in the future

THANK YOU RANDOM PERSON!

I have tought about this story for literally decades, and could never remember the title or remember it at a time when i could have looked it up.

very nice to read it again!

Niiiiiice.
As I read that post i thought loudly "FUCK YEAH" while Im French.
So cool, thank YOU too! Wasnt expecting that. There are so many SF short stories...

I've read just about all of his works, and this is a great example of his short stories.

Do yo have other recs regarding his novels?

Great story, thanks for sharing. It feels like today we don't have as many

Yeah.

I enjoyed that a lot, thanks!

Ah man, glad to read that!

Me too! I’m sure I read this ages ago, refunding it was a welcome surprise!

You made a second person happy, they replied to my post instead of yours, I thought i'd mention it so you get a notification.

Ha!
