"
What was there to aspire to once wealth, fame, and power had been eliminated? Was the goal of survival further survival and nothing more?
Four stars. I don’t love it as much as the original trilogy but I still had a damn good time with it.

"The Other Foot & The Highway were my nightly reads. Now I’m ruminating on the framing story. Where are these stories placed physically? Does The Highway run along the spine of the Illustrated Man? Is The Other Foot placed where you’d expect it to be, or is it sneakily playing out across a bicep? And what does the narrator feel when witnessing such colorful impossibility? I have too many thoughts lol" — Mar 02, 2026 08:41PM

“Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.”
