Did you ever see the mad billionaire chap in the Gulf who build an immense Dodge Powerwagon with a house inside? Presumably he had been impressed by a dodge driven by some American oil man when he was a boy and decided to pay tribute to that as a grown up. Very bizarre but might make you smile! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XUEvkMZHno

2020-05-16 11:04:36 +0000 UTCHa thanks Thom!! The croc is probably actually an alligator; its inlfuenced by the story The Crystal World; in which, due to some kind of screw up with reality, space itself starts crystallising in terrifying storms; the narrator trapped in such a storm in the Florida everglades sees a seemingly living alligator encrusted with gleaming crystals like fabulous jewels... very eerie and very much of a piece with Roadside Picnic and The Southern Reach. It feels like being there at the start of a process that will eventually come to crystallise the entire planet and eventually the universe itself! I think youre so right about Nortstrillia; having done Dune, the self-serious version, its time to approach the much sillier scarier version of producing geriatric drugs; giant immobile mutated sheep raised by future Australians...... shudder! LOL i just realised youd read Ballard, so of course know the Crystal World... theres so much in Cordwainer to draw; the architecture of EarthPort and Myameefla (Miami FLA) the man from the rainworld, the people from heavy worlds, etc etc, as well as the Littul Kittons, and.... Sunboy dancing the Congohelium deep inside the old earth.... So good to have you here to propose ideas T!!! Hope you are well!
