MAGRATHEA AGAIN?
THESE are the times that try [hu]man souls, for sure. With COVID-delta cases once again seizing control of medical facilities in state after state in USA and around the world, I sense another Magrathea, the illusory planet in THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY that went into closure, on the horizon. It’s not a pleasant sight. The world, USA and San Francisco are still reeling from the effects of COVID-null. Another local or, God(dess) forbid, national lockdown, like several nations are already experiencing, would stress the will of businesspeople and consumers alike “to da max” as they say in Hawaii.
As an author, I’m trying not to dwell on it. After all, the biggest effect of COVID-null aside from a sudden drop in royalty income, was having a lot of extra home-time to finish several existing and pen several new novels. A second closure, however, might be a very different matter. It’s taken real fighting spirit and trillions upon trillions of dollars to drag the USA and it’s states out of ICU shock. Like in naughty TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese, I don’t know if there’s enough resiliency left to survive another. Of course, history doesn’t work like a novel. It doesn’t respect resiliency and sacrifice. Irrespective, it simply ends up what it is.
Yet, I am always reminded that life is a half-filled, half-empty champagne flute: Taking up where TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese left off, [in THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor], NewAmerica, a shadow of its former United States of America, provides a challenging and dangerous future place for three young firebrands to live. And it’s always important to remember that each new generation accepts as “normal” and begins it’s history where the previous generation left off. Perhaps that more than anything else is what ultimately defines resiliency and the future.
