In the book I'm reading now, one of the characters talks about the dangers of human life longevity, explaining that because a human's lifespan is limited, they strive for immortality through works and deeds. Attaining physical immortality would thus destroy what drive they might have. I think the ANA answers this question to a degree, but I'm curious about how you feel regarding this subject? How does Nigel keep going?
It's been a long time since I've read Pandora Star. Should I go back and reread it? Given how much the universe has changed, would rereading it give some insight into the Commonwealth? (I'd pretty much forgotten it was related until I'd read a summary of the Void Trilogy in preparation for Abyss.
Thanks for taking the time out to do this, and regardless of whether you answer or not, thanks so much for the hours of wonder you've brought me and countless others. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to the conclusion of the Abyss.
