Yes, yes! I got really into the Voyager-inspiration vibes for a while and wrote this little short story about a secret "Voyager 3" mission - thought you might enjoy it: https://f52.charlieharrington.com/stories/voyager-3/

I think about this book ALL the time. It was way more terrifying than calming to me. But still absolutely love it / haunted by it.

Love this book. I did a short interview with the author Brian Dear about his writing tools + process a while back. Perhaps my favorite anecdote is that he started working on this book in 1985, using MSDOS and later a NeXT cube for his notes. The authorial process truly experienced the full gamut of personal storage mediums over the years.

The memories! I once wrote a short story once about the “other” last Blockbuster - a place where your VHS videos might just let you truly relive your past, at some great cost, of course. Anyway, I love when weird stuff like this comes to dwell on GitHub.
Here’s the story
