RE: Short Story -- The Picture on the Wall

in #fiction7 years ago

You succeeded. Have you ever read "The Egg" by Andy Weir? It has
SOME similarities to your story, so I wondered if you'd gotten
Some inspiration from it. I transcribed it into a document
In my notes, in FB, I'll share that link with you, if you
Should like me to do that. Or I could look it up
And post the real link to it here. You choose.
Just let me know @zycr22

@jerrytsuseer A friend read The Egg to me in July and I thought it was interesting. I wasn't consciously thinking of the story when I wrote this, but now that you mention it, I can see the common themes. And since you are interested, I was actually very impressed by Stanislaw Lem's stories in The Cyberiad, and those are what I would call the inspiration for this story. And the whole idea of the Simulation Hypothesis that I find extremely unsettling and plausible at the same time. Thanks for taking the time to read and think about this.
