I dug it more than Man After Man's goofy art style, and I appreciated that they remembered human beings have hair on their faces. The story of mankind becoming basically gods and BTFOing everyone that fucked with them until they ultimately said "lol see you later fuckers" and presumably went to another dimension where they/we could yuck it up indefinitely is pretty fucking cool in a HFY way.

That said, there's a charm to Man After Man. Probably the more personal approach it takes. I genuinely felt sad when the gangly mountain-monkey lost his big white snow-monkey in the fight and realized his monkey-tribe would die because the antagonist-monkey was a fucking idiot.

The crazy thing is most of the things they predicted to occur over eight thousand years are already starting to come true just fifty years later.

This scope of time is to far fetched, its hard to predict next 10 years, let alone 100.

Also what is the point? Want something loose, like a fantasy try Numenera.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It was written in 1912. The premise is based on the idea that the sun had about 20 something million years of life left because it was powered by the compression of the gasses that formed it. Back then they didn't know nuclear fusion was a thing.

This is set in the year 30 million. The Earth's rotation very gradually slowed to a stop whilst above the sun expanded and reddened and cooled and dimmed.

You know the scenes in Time Machine where the protagonist went too far forward. The big red cold sun permanently stuck on the horizon, the bitter cold and the ice in the sea even at temperate climate and even the crabs and beatles and crabs have died.

It's set after that.

Humanity lives at the bottom of a great canyon in an archology, the Great Redoubt. The surface is uninhabitable due to thin atmosphere, cold and dry.

The bottom of the Great Valley is warmed by geological activity. The Great Redoubt is powered by the Earth Current. The Earth Current is, over millions of years, fading. Humanity will die eventually and everyone knows it.

And also its full of monolithic in scale abominations against reason and sanity that will never stop and went on to inspire Lovecraft.

Author died in WW1.

It's from the Night Land, a really early sci-fi. Set thirty million years in the future, the sun has died leaving the earth shrouded in impenetrable eternal darkness. Man's last millions live in the Last Redoubt, a 1000 plus leveled pyramid with every floor a city, under siege from the Watching Ones and other assorted eldritch horrors and waiting for the earth-current, the magi-tech energy in the earth that powers their tech, to run out.

>>51384970
Hey, they did got better. After millions of years.

>>51393742
Yep. The book notes that that should be impossible because the sun should have exploded by that time.

Other things that are different:
>Days are 28 hours long.
>Solar system is missing a planet, I forget which one.
>Moon has a green stripe, sometimes.
>World is a Pangaea, probably.
>Permanent internet made our of abandoned satellites, nanites, and other sources called the 'datasphere'
>World has been ruled by unbelievably advanced civilizations multiple times. At least one of which wasn't human.

>>51392708
Give this man a beer, a medal and a waifu of his choice.

>>51394981
Isn't a billion years a thousand times a million? The sun is projected to last 65 more of those, if I recall.

>Days are 28 hours long
Plausible. They were 22 or so hours long 650 million years ago.

>Sol is missing a planet
That's odd. Nothing should happen to any of the existing ones in that time period.

>Moon has a green stripe
By this point the Moon should be well on its way away from Earth. It still doesn't have gravity to maintain at atmosphere, therefore no water, therefore no trees.

>World is a Pangaea
That second supercontinent should have formed, then broken up again by then.

>Permanent internet
Does that work that way?

>>51395424
Found an article that says it should start to change in 1.2 billion years, but Monte thought it should've been messed up to some degree by now, so that's what's he wrote.

As far as the rest of those, the future described by Numenera isn't supposed to be based on hard science. The continent was definitely sculpted to look the way it does, the moon is clearly altered so something must be keeping it there, the loss of the planet is an unexplained mystery which most people don't even know of, and the datasphere is the explanation for a large amount of the 'magic' that 'wizards' cast.

Doesn't really seem like nightmare fuel to me. It's fairly nihilistic but ultimately optimistic in that it embraces absurdism, the total lack of meaning that inspires a total abundance of freedom. So humanity fell down a couple times. It got back up, stumbled, and took flight. Then it vanished forever. And that doesn't matter, because 'humanity' is an arbitrary label placed on a large group of individuals, who have complex thoughts and feelings, hopes, and dreams.

It's not a tale of woe, mourning the graves of dead empires.

It's a celebration of sapience, and a lesson in the value of humility.

Found the Gravital.

>>51401472
The Gravital were not removing Xeno, they were removing human, while ironically as distant from human as possible

>>51401553

Wat. It calls direct attention to the fact that Gravitals WERE human -- human thought engrams dumped into machines that still preserved very identifiable human norms. They socialized, formed families, longed for loved ones, had such abstract concepts as "home", were considered individuals and peers to a greater society, had all of those human notions. They just didn't recognize the meat-remnant offshoots of homo sapiens as being of the same root stock, and therefore deserving of personhood.

To be fair, he was treating human as essentially a kingdom of life with a common ancestor rather than any specific species.

Particularly since what we'd strictly regard as 'homo sapiens' died on Earth and never made it out of the solar system (replaced by the Star People after the martian war, so it would have made for a pretty short story.)

How does the prose compare to lovecraft's? It's my closest comparison in terms of time period.
I honestly grew to like ol'Howard's faux datedness, with all his "shewing" and such

>>51408964
lovecraft prose was actually comparable to how people spoke and wrote at the time. night land is nothing like that and that's the problem.

The protagonist is originally a 17th century lord, before he starts seeing visions of/living through/ becoming his reincarnation in the far future( its complicated). so the author took the stylistic choice to have him be narrating in archaic prose, even once he was effectively a future man who considers his life in old England to be memories of a past life while at first he was thinking of himself as a man from the past having visions of his future self. (its quite interesting to watch the shift happening but i'm getting of track)

the problem is that the "archaic prose" is written by a man living in 1912 america who clearly did not actually research the speaking patterns of the 17th century England and just wrote it as what sounded old timey and English to him. If it was just the first chapter before the future stuff starts happening it would be bearable but it just makes the whole book such a slog to get through.

seriously when you read the reviews from the time all the negative ones are " the writing style is awfull" and all the positive ones are "the story and setting are amazing but dear god why did he have to write it this way"

the rewritten version even leaves the prose in place in the rare bits where it actually works like parts of his description of the world in the 2nd chapter

>>51408964
>>51409583

no one actually likes the writing style. everyone who raves about the book does so because of the setting, the story, the atmosphere etc. the only debate on the writing style is how badly it detracts from everything else. with opinion varying from "it almost ruins it" to "its only a bit annoying once you get going"

>>51407072
heh.

But in all seriousness, this is the original.

>>51381686
whoa

>>51423206

As the end said, it was the journey not the end. The book roughly ended human evolution after the machine wars which by the end of that 'humanity' seemed far more powerful than the Qu.

But the thing was it wasn't talking about humankind's kingdoms, rather their evolutionary progress. Since the Qu downfall was after most of the evolution it wasn't covered, as that wasn't part of the story.

Granted it would've been really damn nice to know how those pricks died

>>51423905
I imagine it was a curbstomp, given how advanced the space people were.

Remember: a planet was able to repel 2 Qu invasions. And that was OG humanity.

>>51423977
That's assuming the Qu didn't improve themselves at all during the millions of years they were elsewhere.

>>51424053
They had plateaued. The time between their atrocities and humanity's rising was barely anything to them.

The Gravital weren't trying to purge anybody. What they did was not based on any form of racial prejudice or hatred. They took no joy in it.

They just didn't see organic life as being capable of personhood. It was like trimming weeds to them.

Gravitals were descended from Qu-altered humans. The only non-Qu-altered humans left alive post-Fall-of-Man were the Spacers.

From a narrative perspective, I find it a massive shame that the Gravitals wiped out all non-Bug-Faces. Lots of potential for the other Qu-altered off-shoots but I guess he found that he bit off more than he could chew.

its also meant to hammer in how fleeting life is in all its beauty, it builds up so many different species and then you see the inevitable extinction of the ones you were favoring

>>51429088
I can arguably see the Spacers too, at least until the war.

Sapience or not, the colonials were reduced to piles of skin and flesh, would you really consider them human anymore after that?

>>51429220
They stopped being Homo Sapience. Human is also used as a term to describe other related species that are now extinct. If you can call Homo Erectus a human, I don't see why you couldn't the Star People.

More like we see the inevitable extinction of all of them in a single event. Sometimes shock value doesn't make for the greatest writing but I guess if he was aiming to make a point about absurdity, well done to him.

For an interesting narrative, I would've like to see maybe all but three or four die, then those three or four branch off in eight or nine, with maybe a new extinction event or the fall of the Machine Empire culling those too.

Geeks have been embracing transhumanism en masse since the sixties; by then, even the writers who'd argued against it were changing their minds.
Most people are way too happy to see singularity - ie, Geek Rapture - coming, even though it's about as likely as the Christian Rapture.
