A favorite science fiction writer of mine is William Faulkner! It was an idea that came to me once, years ago, and I’ve never quite been able to shake it. This is facetious, on one level at least. There are telepaths in As I Lay Dying. But I think the most compelling thing for me is there are moments with him where I just feel these are not humans talking to each other. These are some hyper-intelligent, yet-to-be-born organisms. The way they look at the past without having any loss of knowledge everything that ever happened is still here.

And because we can’t succeed, we get angry and frustrated and feel guilty. Except the Buddhists.
