Never really, but kinda. I'll assure you though, it's easier to only see them on video. | ||

I could see where this was going, I've heard things like this before. Still don't agree with it in the least but then I don't know if that's the point of the story and I certainly don't want to get into a debate about it. A quasi-religious debate would probably give everyone who comes to this thread for fun a heart attack anyways. | ||

I was thinking the same thing, but I imagine it would be harder to do if it was your job to watch a crash that just happened and you were the one person who had to watch to see when/where/how they died | ||

@phyvo the author (in an AMA) said he doesn't believe that but it stemmed from an argument with his aunt and he wanted to create a universe where it was fair to everyone. being a necrophiliac seems like it would be pretty easy actually. just work at a morgue. also I feel like you'd be able to find a significant other with your passion in this day and age. hell you could start a funeral home together. | ||

I wouldn't care if not for the fact that it gets reposted and brought up every couple weeks on Reddit, at which point legions of plebeians who have never read anything more worthwhile than Harry Potter assemble to heap undeserving praise on it. Sickening. | ||

I wouldn't care if not for the fact that it gets reposted and brought up every couple weeks on Reddit, at which point legions of plebeians who have never read anything more worthwhile than Harry Potter assemble to heap undeserving praise on it. Sickening. Eh, I found the concept itself pretty neat, however it's thrown out there, incomplete, rather than explored or even just left to interpretation so you can't really call it deep. It had potential, but as is it felt a bit shallow in the end: "the guy finds the meaning of life question dumb but refuses to say anything of them; also he spends his raising a child/incubating an egg in his own words; why does he tell the chick he's not like them and wouldn't understand, when he actually admits at the end that he is, just at an early stage of development", etc. I mean, leaving this kind of details out often makes sense, if not symbolically then at least not to clog the story with superfluous details. But in cases like this it feels like oversights instead, and it hurts the value of whatever concept he's developing. I wouldn't criticise the writing too much if the goal was to explore a concept over telling a story, though. | ||
