Thank you!
It's amazing how art can resonate through ages. Why? I am reading Liu's Supernova Era as you know. It's a sad book with people dying en masse in dignity and peace. Because of the radiation from the supernova all above age of thirteen die. It's a hopeless situation for those dying and a huge opportunity for the children to carry on. Fearless they are, as you say. It really touches your heart, this duality of despair and hope.
Let's embrace hope :)

Of that book the thing I love the most is how the adults try to teach the children in a sort of speed test, to see how much information they can pass on before dying, and I love how even with a certain death people are trying to teach and give, how they can light a fire in others while theirs is slowly dying out at the same time, I just love it. I don't know if it hit me the most as I'm a parent myself, or something like it (As I'm going to post about parenting in about one or two hours here on hive) but it sure stuck with me after a reading of this book.
