I love those reveals where the heroes realize that they are here in earth exploring a world that was or one that's meant to be.<br /><br />Bradbury's short story, "The Man" explores a technological elitism that fascinates me, how we assume superiority based on technological advancement. This is a major theme of Urghot. A squad of military hard-asses land on a planet inhabited by, surprisingly, other people. They find a fuedal society with little modernization. Insert magic into the equation and see egos flare and soldiers freak out.<br /><br />This story will be about technology, our social perseptions of technology and it's role. That's what Twains novel is about but I will take a more luddite approach. <br /><br />I have three labels I am using for the Blog - <strong>Log</strong> (captain's official report), <strong>Video Capture</strong> (recorded by a remote camera, and <strong>Meta</strong> (word count and notes)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3960460513513705088-2127159040783981740?l=urghot.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eruditushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12059728693869356697noreply@blogger.com0
