Your eternal space journey continues. Gather the children around the thermal radiation fires and read this grade-A space science doctrine.
With your great deference to corporate science and real life worship of space, I offer this magnificent collection of doctrine, dogma, and techno space religion.
Her Smoke Rose Up Forever by James Tiptree Jr.
It’s worth mentioning that author, James Tiptree Jr. writing as – Alice Sheldon, in 1987 loaded a revolver with two bullets, calmly pointed the gun at her husband and killed him, and then turned the gun on herself to finalize space opera.
Senescence and long suffering too much to bare for science fiction people.
Even after reading about her double suicide murder, and understanding the death-spell and magick sure to be born from this text, I still enjoyed it very much, and if you can separate reality from fiction (phantasy from non-fiction), maybe you will enjoy it too.
Some of my highlights:
