How I Met Van and Numan Future, Present, and Past (Paperback)


This story explores an absurd future of a colonized Mars, where the world has ended, generations of clones have been created for various purposes, and there's nothing left to do. Written entirely with dialogue, it tells the story about Van and Numan, two Seventh Generation clones, who manage to randomly get caught up in a Mars space project, destroy their debris collecting orbiter, almost find love with a real Earth girl, get awarded with neat medals, and end up back on Earth. The story plays with the genre of Science Fiction using humor and irony while speculating on the issues of cloning, free will, chance and randomness. Its position creates an unusual and unique version of Science Fiction.
