A lone astronaut and a ship’s artificial intelligence spend two decades trapped in a spatial phenomenon from which there is no escape.
Genre: Science Fiction
Excerpt:
What if you knew that you
only had twenty-five years to live, safely and surely, but you
would be alone, watching your death approach, unable to escape it?
And what if you knew that whatever you did or accomplished in that
time would most certainly never be known by the rest of your
people? So you won’t be leaving behind a legacy of observations and
musings. Not even raw data collected by the sensors will make it
out. What would you do? Who would you be?
Do you think you’d last?
Do you think I will last?
What’s the Word (that inspired the
story)?
Futilitarian: 1) believing that human hopes are
vain, and human strivings unjustified. 2) a person who holds this
belief. (source: dictionary.com)
