Before anyone posts the "some infinities are bigger than others" argument, I'd like to point out that any example of an infinite set of universes which excludes a particular universe can not be possible.

Seriously try describing a way to enumerate an infinite number of universes that exclude a given universe, where, for example, you are me and I am you.

Irrelevant.

there was a Jerry Cornelius story where he fucked a woman named Anna ne Win. i think he might have killed her, too. it's the sort of thing he does.

i read it last summer for the first time 10/10 and now that I don't need to be perfect, I can be good
