    Hello and welcome to my All Tomorrows audiobook reading! Just a quick disclaimer:
    1. I now know that "Oedipus" is pronounced "Ed-i-pus" and not "Oh-ed-i-pus".
    2. I do make a couple of small mistakes in my reading, mispronouncing the odd word, like "schism" and a couple of others.
    3. Occassionally the audio in some sections may go a little bit quieter than others, I have tried to normalize it all to the same level, hopefully you don't find it too distracting.
    Thank you for watching! Don't forget to like, comment, share and subscribe!

    I was thrown for an absolute loop when the Qu showed up and did their thing. Everything up to that point was kind of what you expect from a sci-fi story about early space colonization. And then it just goes all “Humans lost. Humans lost HARD.” It’s one thing for a people to be enslaved by alien invaders for generations, even for hundreds or thousands of years. But just this scope of time, where the species was tortured and genetically mutilated for a vastly longer amount of time than Homo sapiens itself had even existed as a species, put the power disparity into clear focus. By the time the Qu just casually decided to leave, “mankind” had existed as mutant descendent species longer than they had ever truly existed as “mankind” as we know it.

    • @dysn3961

      It goes heavy into the theme of living in the present, and the perspective as a living being. These events take place over the course of millions of centuries, and within them is an entire life that is lived.
      Could also imagine if we ourselves have a past similar to this, but simply unaware of it and continue our days as usual

    The most chilling part of All Tomorrows is the body horror of cosmic biology - it makes perfect logical sense that beings on worlds with different gravity, suns, atmospheric compositions and resources would evolve drastically differently to each other over millions of years, and yet the fact that all of them have at least a perceptible resemblance to Humanity in them is so jarring that you oftentimes forget the beings in All Tomorrows aren't aliens from other galaxies: they're our *direct descendants.*

    Feels kind of somber to hear a story where we don't exist anymore even after all the struggles humanity had to endure for survival - to simply exist and love peacefully. But it is kind of heartwarming to know that even if the history of humanity was about the ideals, the dreams we have for ourselves - there was always one thing that will be most important - living. It's the essence of why we have all these ideals and all these dreams that we want to make true. The story might be disturbing but it's more hopeful than it seems. Great reading!

    one thing that always surprised me with this book was the fact none of the collective societies no matter how advanced (not even the Asteromorphs whose brains grew to enormous sizes) were able to reach higher states of consciousness, just as they did with general sentience. it's all about perception and their ability to perceive more than in three dimensions, which the Asteromorphs should have been able to do with their mental state. perhaps that's what the author alluded to in the end with their sudden disappearance. just something I always thought about.

    This book is interesting but I think that once you get to the latter half where the post humans have consciousness the huge time jumps are a bit unbelievable. Like think about all that happened in earth in just the last 10,000 years and it seems strange that a society that has internal conflicts like the machines could live in a relatively static existence for 50 million years.

    I've heard bits of this book before, and seen some of the illustrations. But until today, I had never read or listened to a reading of it. I cannot express how much I _love_ this.
    I'm a huge fan of Wayne Barlowe's Extraterrestrial art, namely the _Expedition_ series. This reminds me so much of that, but with a very human spin on everything. Thinking about what life in the Galaxy will look like in a billion years is something I don't think we could ever accurately grasp and conceptualize, but these guys, Wayne and the Author of this story, C.M. Kosemen, I think they're about the closest we'll get to accurate depictions of life in places and periods of time so far out of our line of sight that humanity will likely perish before ever seeing it.
    Amazing reading, amazing story. You get a sub from me.

    Haunting. Truly, deeply haunting. I often think about the inevitable fall of the world we know today. Not Earth, but the world as we know it. Superpowers crumble quietly as new powers rise up. Nations and people get assimilated of their own volition, wars and conflicts that seem so great today will be viewed as little more than blips on the global timeline. Truths you understand to be intrinsic will be disregarded and eventually forgotten entirely. There will come a time when the world is alien to you, when even your own language will be distorted beyond recognition.
    This story really embodies that.
    The writing, and your narration, are so cold and academic, it felt like it was presented as truth, not fiction. I'm scared for the future. I feel so small. I *am* so small.
