Re: If you could go to any SF/Fantasy setting of your choice... Ellestra Send a noteboard - 23/11/2009 08:23:03 PM
Not in any of the fantasy ones. I would never want to live in the past (or past-like place). No toilet paper, proper heating or means of communication. At least not wildly available. Not even with magic. The fact that being spellcaster can give you all possible convenience doesn't make up for the fact that most people live a very poor condition. And with no canalization.

I'd rather live in the future. Someplace like Peter Hamilton's Commonwealth or Iain Banks' Culture. Where immortality is for everyone. And space travel.
Evolution, just like gravity, works even if you don't believe in it.

Stupidity doesn't hurt but it kills.
