Story Idea

A story about an immortal woman who has spent her life collecting experiences, wealth, family friendships, extraordinary amounts of knowledge, etc.

Her main conflict would ultimately be the ever flowing stream of time. She wants to die but she never knows when. Seems like there is never a good time for death or talks of it.

She is seeking the answers to her questions and enjoys friendship.

Basically a dramatic comedy about an immortal woman who is seeking closure in the form of being cast into the void of existence. I have started a visual map to brainstorm this. I am thinking that she is initially born in the 1700s and was murdered by her first husband and she believes she is in purgatory or a coma. She takes the strange and heartbreaking opportunity to start her “new” life by herself but quickly sees how lonely and dangerous that is.

This book rocks. I love the way this book plays with technology and files, instead of a mouth of god telling us what is going on we are told by a person writing a report about a video and direct instant-messages logs. It gives the feeling of life and feeling from this book. Aidan is one of the best parts of this book, the way that Aidan thinks in a complex and sometimes literally roundabout (funny brit word) way. The best way it shows this is when Aidan is turned back on in the middle of a space war and watches one of the main characters fight the pursuing megacorp ship and Aidan describes this as ‘’like roses in his hands death blooms’’. The way that Aidan speaks moves from extremely like a robot to like a human. Later on in the book Aidan and one of the main characters work together to defeat the pursuing megacorp, Aidan and their dialogue is the best in the book. It shows how little it takes to be human and I do think Aidan cares and wants what is best for the crew of both ships. I have a deep love for AIs in media, and I think Aidan is the best I have seen so far, especially with the way we see Aidans thoughts, the glitches and programs launching to keep the crew safe and his obsession with being merciful really brings him to life.
