A very long time into the future - tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of years - all the non-renewable resources of the world will have been exhausted. We'll run out of all the metals, and oil, and everything.

So what's left? Meat!



So we'll genetically engineer gigantic brainless creatures that can thrive in the void, then use them to travel the stars.

That's all.

A new Umbrakin is coming out sometime this spring. It's been five years in-universe since Peal crawled out of his little hole and went off to adventuring. It's also been five years in real life since I started writing seriously.

I have plans for good thirty years of the former. I don't like the idea that this translates to the whole project taking thirty years of real time as well. I've always had my mind in the present: I've been unable to think too far into the future, and this has always gotten in the way of larger plans and projects and probably been what killed some of my biggest dreams in the crib. I guess it's a bright side, that here I'm at last managing something like that.

But I also don't know what future brings, or what the world will even look like that far ahead. I don't know what else I could have done with that time, or perhaps even the possibility of trying out some of those other dreams of mine. There's a lot of scary things out there. It could be we won't even be here by then.

Oh, well. Think of the positives. You'll have something to read again soon.
