    For those of you wondering why I’m using the Sea Witch painting by Frank Frazetta in the background of the video, it’s because it was used as the interior art alongside the short story when it featured in Omni Magazine. Don’t really know why they made that decision, but it's the only visual piece associated with this story that I had to work with. Just thought I’d mention it because I forgot to credit the artist in the video. My bad.
    Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this little early Christmas gift. I wanted to at least make one more video before the end of the year (aside from another project that will be released next week). Thank you all so much for all of the support and love for the channel and of course, getting me to 20k subs! I’m grateful for this milestone! Merry Christmas to everyone and have a happy New Year.

    Btw, for those wondering, the story probably takes place in an O’Neill cylinder-a massive rotating drum filled with whatever you want really. It’s a great habitat design and pretty common in hard science fiction stories. In Gerard K. O’Neill’s original designs they were always referred to as islands (ie: island 1, 2, 3, etc) so that’s why Silverberg calls it an island. So it’s not an actual island in space, in case someone was wondering that lol.
    The habitat is also orbiting in the earth-moon Lagrange points. Basically orbital anchor points, perfect for large amounts of urban scale habitats.
    If you’re interested in O’Neill cylinders or other orbital infrastructure, I’d recommend Isaac Arthur’s UA-cam channel as well as the original book: the High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space by Gerard K. O’Neill. Also the Orion’s Arm Universe Project has some cool examples of not only O’Neill cylinders but also Dyson spheres/swarms, ringworlds and other fascinating ideas.
    Hope this helps.

    It's always interesting to find traces of later fiction in earlier more obscure works.
    The Mokolé (were-reptiles from the World of Darkness line of RPGs) have the ability to share memories, thoughts, feelings directly with others. They use this amongst each other to communicate across species lines and to keep their culture and history alive even all the way back to the Cretaceous. But when they use it on non-Mokolé, the recipient can "overload" on the memories and lose their own personality in the process which leads to dissociative identity disorder.
    So the psychic dinosaur cult lives on outside of this story.

    I recently heard of a strange late 19th/early 20th century short story about a regenerating plesiosaur that was found deep in a cave, which then leads to a plesiosaur regenerating around a human brain from a scientist it killed. It leads to similar tale of mental degradation. I can't remember the name of it, but Richard Fallon did talk about it in episode 369 of the podcast 'I Know Dino'. He also wrote a book about similar stories in his book 'Dinosaurs in Victorian Pop Culture'.

  • @ravensthatflywiththenightm7319

    It's entirely possible that David Koepp stole that San Diego Event from this story, considering that Spielberg originally wanted to adapt The Lost World a lot closer to the book, but Koepp insisted that he had written his own "original" story for the Jurassic Park sequel and convinced Spielberg to go with it.

    My bedtime reading consists entirely of Sci-Fi short stories from 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s (anthologies are two a penny from Kindle), and I've read this story a few times. Never suspected it was from as late as 1980 - I imagine it is included in those anthologies because Silverberg is more associated with the 1960s. And because it's a great story!
    Was going to say that since the 'dino park' is at L5, then it is some sort of orbital habitat stationed at the Lagrange 5 orbital position. Uses less fuel to keep on station being there.
    But others have mentioned this two years ago!

    Are you familiar with Thomas Hopp’s Dinosaur Wars series? It’s basically a cross between Jurassic Park, Star Wars, and an alien invasion story…except the “aliens” are dinosaurs that survived the K-Pg extinction. I find these novels interesting because they contain a number of similar elements to the upcoming film, Jurassic World: Dominion. One of which is that humans must learn to coexist with dinosaurs living among them. There is even a scene from the second (?) book featuring a mosasaur attacking a surfer, which is weird because this book came out YEARS before Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom! In addition, the books feature fully-feathered dinosaurs, which is awesome!
