Absolutely loved this video! I just started the Fifth head and finished the first novella and found the conversation super interesting. The portion of “What it means to be human” in regards to ai/uploading consciousness reminded me a lot of the video game Soma which tackles the subject beautifully (albeit in a horror setting). Just ordered “Song for the Unravelling of the World” as well, super excited to read Brian Evenson now.
Uncertainty or incoherency? Is Wolfe writing to confound critics? You can't point out the plot holes without a plot, can you? The first 4 books of the New Testament are different versions of basically the same story. All coherent. Is Wolfe giving different accounts from the same character or different accounts from different perspectives of the same character?
Reading now. Masterful. Also, read Urth of the New Sun. Mind blowing.
You read urth .. without reading book of the new sun?
he did not say that. Sounds like he didn't read the Fifth Head of Cerberus...?
@@kyle10590 but mentioning urth without mentioning botns is a bit weird no. It makes it seem like he only read urth
The uncertainty principle embodied in fiction, as Ursula K. La Guin called it. It's a pretty good one, for sure.
