Immensely vast tonight

"In the future, each of us will be assigned a phone number, and it will last for life. We will all have a palm-sized dial, like a clam shell without a receiver, maybe replaced with a small speaker and microphone. The front is the dial, and the back is the Lilliput’s screen. It’s like a miniature TV screen. You can put it in your pocket and call friends in Rome, New York or anywhere. You can see each other’s on the dial. Face, talk to him, full color, yes, the screen will be full color."

"What's the name of this magazine?"

""Modern Machinery", this article was written a few years ago. Oh! It also says that if you call your friend but he doesn't answer it, you know that he is dead."

"What? How can you know they are dead?"

"Because they always carry it at any time, so they can always receive it."

"I don't believe it, it sounds like a science fiction novel. Your mother's words are right, these books will only deceive people's money. To be honest, I can believe the pipes and highways you said, but the mini-telephone, it's too bullshit.

Okay, you're home. goodbye. "

I love "The Vast Night" recently, and I always think of these two people walking into???????? ???? and returning to the radio era in 1950. Everett won't touch your precious trombone. Take care of the tape recorder he repaired. Let's go if we don't have a car, no matter how far it is. From the stadium to the parking lot, you can only interview interesting people, and then you can tell a total of four science fiction stories when you walk home. You think you work hard at night, but fortunately everything will end soon. My dear, tonight will be infinitely vast.

The Vast of Night quotes

  • Mabel Blanche: I think at the lowest level, they send people on errands, and play with people's minds. They sway people to do things, and think certain ways - so that we stay in conflict, focused on ourself - so that we're always .. cleaning house, or losing weight, or dressing up for other people. I think they get inside our heads and make us do destructive things, like drink and over eat. I've seen good people go bad, and smart people go mad.

    Mabel Blanche: I think at the highest level they do things that cause nations to go to war. Things that make no sense. And I think no one knows they're being affected. We all work out other reasons to justify our actions. But free will is impossible with them up there. I've had an entire life to think about this. Years alone. And that's what I think.

  • Mabel Blanche: I listen to your broadcast every night. I think you're very good and I hope you can get far away from here.
