Wow that's gobsmacking! If that isn't true, it should be!

"Not the end of the world, Tom. The end of time. To free humanity of time. For time is the great enslaver of us all. Time that ages us, time that limits us. Think how often you have wished to have more time for something, or wished you could go back a day and do something differently. When humanity is freed of time, old wrongs can be corrected before they are done."
That's really inspired me to get back to my re-read! I've forgotten allllllll of this stuff!
It's funny how in the first read through I'm so focused on 'the story' - ie what happens next in the narrative, and it's not until afterwards I am interested in taking more notice all the intriguing bits and pieces that make the 'bigger picture'!
