Philosopher Jean Baudrillard would take up the concept and run with it in Simulacra and Simulation (1981), arguing that we now live mainly in the map, in the recreation of reality, rather than in reality itself.

I will probably make a post on some of the ideas from this EXTREMELY short story. With incredibly deep ideas while using essentially one paragraph. One of my favorite short stories ever.

I had heard of this story but never read it. This was AMAZING.

'A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat's dream.' I love this sentence so much.

I love this style of outsider perspective that deals with human absurdity and the infinite possibilities of the universe. Especially when dealt with sharp comedy instead of self importance. This remimded me of a Hictchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

It comes as a mild shock to me, since we have a very strong purity culture here. I still have an unflattering tho undeserved reputation.
