Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The key concept of The World As Myth is that all fictions are real. Which, of course, includes The World As Myth books. With the Burroughs drive you can cross universes into other fictions, and in The Number Of The Beast the main characters are shown doing a last second swap: One braindead clone substituted for a near-death person, who can then be revived with their Sufficiently Advanced technology. With creators of long-lived fictions being incredibly powerful (since all reality is fiction, they can influence how universes develop), the Time Corps would want to get access to their own creator at all costs. So Heinlein provided his fictional characters with existence (All reality is fiction, all fiction is reality), means to rescue him from death, a motive to rescue him, even experience at doing this sort of rescue. |
