    Hello and welcome to my All Tomorrows audiobook reading! Just a quick disclaimer:
    1. I now know that "Oedipus" is pronounced "Ed-i-pus" and not "Oh-ed-i-pus".
    2. I do make a couple of small mistakes in my reading, mispronouncing the odd word, like "schism" and a couple of others.
    3. Occassionally the audio in some sections may go a little bit quieter than others, I have tried to normalize it all to the same level, hopefully you don't find it too distracting.
    Thank you for watching! Don't forget to like, comment, share and subscribe!

    I was thrown for an absolute loop when the Qu showed up and did their thing. Everything up to that point was kind of what you expect from a sci-fi story about early space colonization. And then it just goes all “Humans lost. Humans lost HARD.” It’s one thing for a people to be enslaved by alien invaders for generations, even for hundreds or thousands of years. But just this scope of time, where the species was tortured and genetically mutilated for a vastly longer amount of time than Homo sapiens itself had even existed as a species, put the power disparity into clear focus. By the time the Qu just casually decided to leave, “mankind” had existed as mutant descendent species longer than they had ever truly existed as “mankind” as we know it.

      It goes heavy into the theme of living in the present, and the perspective as a living being. These events take place over the course of millions of centuries, and within them is an entire life that is lived.
      Could also imagine if we ourselves have a past similar to this, but simply unaware of it and continue our days as usual

    The most chilling part of All Tomorrows is the body horror of cosmic biology - it makes perfect logical sense that beings on worlds with different gravity, suns, atmospheric compositions and resources would evolve drastically differently to each other over millions of years, and yet the fact that all of them have at least a perceptible resemblance to Humanity in them is so jarring that you oftentimes forget the beings in All Tomorrows aren't aliens from other galaxies: they're our *direct descendants.*

    Feels kind of somber to hear a story where we don't exist anymore even after all the struggles humanity had to endure for survival - to simply exist and love peacefully. But it is kind of heartwarming to know that even if the history of humanity was about the ideals, the dreams we have for ourselves - there was always one thing that will be most important - living. It's the essence of why we have all these ideals and all these dreams that we want to make true. The story might be disturbing but it's more hopeful than it seems. Great reading!

    Out of everything I have heard and taken in from the just-shy-of-two-hours audiobook, what I love most is how the Qu are brought up later in the story. Specifically how it's described in so few words as "Then subdued the Qu."
    "So yeah anyway the New Mankind found the Qu again and fucking bitchslapped them back into their place."

    This book is interesting but I think that once you get to the latter half where the post humans have consciousness the huge time jumps are a bit unbelievable. Like think about all that happened in earth in just the last 10,000 years and it seems strange that a society that has internal conflicts like the machines could live in a relatively static existence for 50 million years.

      As already mentioned I think it was both what the Qu did to humanity and the vast distances(remember in this universe FTL is pretty much confirmed to be impossible, not even the billion year old Q figured it out) means any massive shifts would take insanely long amounts of time.

    one thing that always surprised me with this book was the fact none of the collective societies no matter how advanced (not even the Asteromorphs whose brains grew to enormous sizes) were able to reach higher states of consciousness, just as they did with general sentience. it's all about perception and their ability to perceive more than in three dimensions, which the Asteromorphs should have been able to do with their mental state. perhaps that's what the author alluded to in the end with their sudden disappearance. just something I always thought about.

    I'm a huge fan of Wayne Barlowe's Extraterrestrial art, namely the _Expedition_ series. This reminds me so much of that, but with a very human spin on everything. Thinking about what life in the Galaxy will look like in a billion years is something I don't think we could ever accurately grasp and conceptualize, but these guys, Wayne and the Author of this story, C.M. Kosemen, I think they're about the closest we'll get to accurate depictions of life in places and periods of time so far out of our line of sight that humanity will likely perish before ever seeing it.

I do home health care which means I drive a lot, instead of listening to sad news today I had the absolute treat of listening to this. So profound, so dark, so heartbreaking, so beautiful. What a unique concept.

    This is like being sent a history book from the future. The manifest destiny of man would quickly be dismantled by our cosmic neighbors/predecessors. Leaps and bounds of progress thwarted so easily, wiping out our kind and subspecies to the bare bones. This is truly cosmic horror. The colonials & lopsiders are what I'd imagine creatures in Tartarus or Hell to be like. The realization that each chapter is a snapshot of thousands if not millions of years is chilling. Hedonists sounds like a kickass time though lol

    a) I am still confused why your reading has that less views than "Alt Shift X"´s, I love his channel, but your version is clearly a little bit better and most importantly it is the whole story.
    b) as I listened to your reading the 10th time right now, I realised that the humans where already the descendants of a species, changed by the QU. ( same time as they made new species from the dinosaurs ) I don´t think the Qu only stole some species to mix them together to only one new speices on one random planet.
