Tales of the Vuduri: Year One

  So the big question is: This is the 35th century! How come it doesn't look more futuristic? How come it looks like it was made from bricks? The answer is it isn't. The Vuduri would typically build such an edifice out of aerogel. Rei went along with their plan. He simply had the aerogel stained with brick color. He did this for the very same reason that the library looks like something from old Earth. He knew Rome would want it this way. The library was supposed to be for all the people of Deucado, in fact, for all of mankind so she would not have wanted designed in any particular style. She would have wanted it to appeal to the Essessoni, the Deucadons, the Ibbrassati and the mandasurte and even the Vuduri. So Rei had it designed and built generically.

  That's the reason. It was on purpose.

  The Library of Life

 

  This is really cool. Now that the book trailer The Ark Lords has come out, I'm getting flooded with questions with why this and why that. When you read books, you form a picture in your mind of the people and places described there. When the movie comes out or in this case a book trailer, suddenly everybody's preconceived notions are challenged because the images in their head are made real. To address this, yesterday's post dealt with why bricks?

  Today's post concerns the shape of The Library in general.
