THE WORLD IN A GRAIN OF SAND
WILLIAM BLAKE once uber-cogently wrote, “To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour…” and I, for one, have never forgotten it nor its myriad possible meanings as I pass through life. As one who savors quantum physics and all that it implies, I find Blake’s verse not only memorable and pregnant with meaning, but also prophetic. It has always been, after all is said and done, the primary task of my generation to uncover the elusive Unified Field Theory that unites the large and small. That brings order to what, like politics today, seems an irresolute radical duality. I have always held that M-Superstring Theory (where “M” stands for the multiverse) was the crux of the issue. And that’s what I’m writing about in the sequel to THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor. I believe it to be the key to resolving many dualities and paradoxes, opening the way to understanding the nature of birth, life, death and humanity’s seemingly key yet transient position and role in it all.

Call me future-crazy if you like, but I see humanity — no, all of life — at a critical moment in space-time, that, when resolved (and I firmly believe humanity up to the task) will open a whole new world of knowledge and choices, many essential to the continuation of our form of life. Yes, I said, “our form of life,” acknowledging my belief that while we are not alone in the multiverse; however, we may be unique as a particular lifeform. It’s all part of what the future beckons and, awaiting, holds for us. In this, I’ve been strongly advocating for a new literary genre, that of Sci-Fu, or science-based futuring (substitute future studies if you are more academically inclined). I believe Sci-Fu to be one of the tools that will help us to resolve that apparently rigorous duality within which we think and exist. Sci-Fu is that important, in my opinion.
And this is, as I mentioned above, at the very heart of the trilogy that has evolved starting with TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese, continuing with THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Savant 2020) by Raymond Gaynor, ending (or if you prefer, re-beginning) with what I’m at least for the moment calling PROPHESY, fully realizing that nothing ever really ends with a prophesy, it only begins.
