Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "2191 Dawns: Visions of a Future Past" by Anthony Scarola is a captivating anthology of three short stories, each exploring the vast and intricate tapestry of human existence, cosmic destiny, and the relentless progression of time. This collection presents a unique blend of science fiction, philosophical musings, and speculative future scenarios that delve into the most profound aspects of life, evolution, and the universe.The first story, "Life-Forms" (1989), takes us on a journey through the genesis of life on Earth and the cosmic interplay that shapes existence. It begins with a vivid depiction of Earth's formation and the origin of life, set against a backdrop of the vast universe. The narrative then shifts to the planet O----, where an advanced civilization faces its demise. The story intertwines the fate of this alien world with Earth's destiny, as the creator, KaKo, seeks to perfect the experiment of life. This tale is rich with themes of creation, destruction, and the cyclical nature of existence."The Old Ones" (1992) transports readers to a future where virtual reality has become the dominant way of life. Set in 2031, the story follows individuals navigating a digitized existence where the lines between reality and virtuality blur. The narrative raises profound questions about the nature of reality, the consequences of technological dependence, and the search for meaning in a simulated world. It portrays a society grappling with the aftermath of a nuclear war and the challenges of rebuilding a shattered world.In "The Earth" (1994), Scarola presents a gripping narrative set in 1996, following the lives of John and Nona Richards. The story revolves around a global dream, a collective premonition of the world's end that unites humanity in a shared destiny. This apocalyptic vision leads to the creation of a secret project aimed at preserving human life. The tale masterfully explores themes of collective consciousness, fate, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of impending doom.Together, these stories in "2191 Dawns" offer a rich and thought-provoking exploration of existential themes. Scarola's writing is both evocative and contemplative, inviting readers to ponder the complexities of existence and our place in the cosmos. This anthology is perfect for science fiction and philosophical literature fans who enjoy stories that entertain, challenge, and inspire.
