    Agree, Momo is GREAT! I resonate a lot with both books.

    The fantasy parts of the NES sometimes feel like allegory but mostly feel like folly.

    Note that (if I’m not mistaken), NES is mostly an adaptation of Nietzsche’s ideas:

    • Will to power = “Do what you wish” written in Auryn
    • Eternal recurrence = many “infinite loops” hidden over the book

    Many parts of the book make more sense once I was aware of those references (which was not so long ago).

      This is an interesting insight. I have a degree in philosophy but tap danced around the Nietzsche class to go to the phenomenology & existentialism course instead lol
