  All Tomorrows is fantastic, but it isn't horrifying at all when you realize the whole premise is that it's written by a future alien historian who knows nothing about ancient humanity to the point where he doesn't know which way to hold a skull up

  The messed up thing about The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas is when you compare it to reality and realize that our reality is so much worse and is built on so much more suffering of the most vulnerable among us.

  Omelas has a sequel. It was published in 2024. It won the Nebula Award. <br><br>The first asks &quot;Could people live in a town with such a dark secret?&quot;<br>It answers the question with &quot;Yes, totally, it&apos;s way easier to maintain the dark secret than make societal change.&quot;

  In &quot;A Short Stay in Hell&quot;, he doesn&apos;t find his book. That&apos;s what makes it so haunting; the thought of being in search of it for eternity.

  The Library of Babel was written by Jorge Borges, one of my favorite writers. You didn’t mention his name which is why I mention it here. He specialized in mystical realism and I highly recommend all of his work

  Dude, There Will Come Soft Rains is like one of the best short stories of all time. I read it when I was like eight or nine, and have been in love with it ever since. Peak lineup, that, Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, and All Tomorrows are all peak. I haven&apos;t read the others. Truly a peak video.

  My answer to the question in Ones who walk away from Omela is most humans won&apos;t feel &quot;happy&quot; if they know a child is being abused, so no-one in omelas actually feels happy, they just don&apos;t want to lose their situation.

  &quot;There will come soft rains&quot; was apparantly so good that USSR made a short animated movie based on that novel
