We are in it, right now, that is why we cannot write it, or think it, or in my case, read it (I cannot read scifi right now, things are moving too fast), BUT you wrote this “And if a benevolent future isn’t self-assembling, it falls to us to do the work of building one.”← and that is what is important, regardless of what darkness is falling. Your creations, they always moved forward in just that way, you created the template, an inspiration for such times. I make my small marks in time. There are always stars in the sky even when fog obscures them.🌫⤴️✨️🌌
