They're Made Out of Meat by Terry Bisson
This is one of my favorite short stories. I'm sure most of you have read it. It's pretty popular. Glad I found this instance. I'll be posting a few things that I haven't seen here. Let me know if I overdo it lol.
That's funny. I just commented to somebody here on the thread that there's an audio version out there. That's pretty good. And you sent that almost the exact same time I sent the comment talking about it lol. Thanks!
Yeah!! I saw this years ago, it’s a great re-watch. I always assumed it was a skit first- cool to see the short story!
Twin peaks vibes there with the eerieness and the 80s american town feeling. I imagined this story with more of a Seinfeld style when I read it. Thanks for the link!
Wait that’s the guy from cash cab.
I had heard of this story but never read it. This was AMAZING.
'A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat's dream.' I love this sentence so much.
I love this style of outsider perspective that deals with human absurdity and the infinite possibilities of the universe. Especially when dealt with sharp comedy instead of self importance. This remimded me of a Hictchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It also reminded me of hitchhiker's guide the first time I read it. There's a pretty good audio version on YouTube somewhere that some actors did, but I prefer to read it. If you like that you might also like the other one I posted right after that one called 17776. It's more of an interactive thing, I wouldn't say interactive but more like animated, but it's pretty long and may not fit here. And if you need me to remove it I will gladly do so. But it's right up there with some of my favorite books of all time.
This is one of my favorites and I will read the entire thing every time I see it posted.
This is good. I like The Egg better, since I think about it more frequently.
I'll comment the link under.
HOLY SHIT, It's from Andy Weir!
Yeah I posted that one yesterday it's great. The YouTube video is awesome.
