Correction

How do you actually escape a timeline? Can we go back in time and change the future? To where it all went wrong?

It’s like in Terminator 2, when they have to kill that guy who invented some microchip. That enabled Skynet to … whatever.

Do we need Arnie to come and save us? Come with me if you want to live and so on.

We need a time-travelling Delorian?

Oh yeah, like in Back to the Future.

In Back the Future II: that’s where they change the timeline.

The one with cowboys?

The one before that. Where they go back in time to stop Biff taking over.

It’s like The Man in the High Castle. There’s the real timeline, like Philip K Dick said, and fake ones. This is one of the fake ones.

This is a timeline that split off from the real one. The good one.

So we’re on the fake timeline. What can we do about it?

What do they do about it in the novel?

I can’t remember. Just suffer it, I guess. But they know why they’re suffering.

A timeline correction – that’s what we need. Like in that Thomas Bernhard book.

You mean Extinction.

A correction! An extinction! Whatever. Just general annihilation.

I don’t actually want to be annihilated. Do we have to be annihilated?

So when did it all go wrong? With technology? The splitting of the atom? The industrial revolution? The invention of the fucking Spinning Jenny?

Yeah, but what about the conditions of the invention of the Jenny? We have to go much farther back.

 

Oh all to fucking end. For the stars to just wink out, one by one.

 

Too much poison. Too many lies. Too much horror.

 

Who designed this timeline, anyway?

They ordered it from some brochure. It’s the equivalent of Ikea, but for buildings. What catalogue is it? The World Economic Forum catalogue of globalist oppression. The new Reich, basically.
