A Bridge of Ideas
Despite spanning the vast gulf between cosmic science fiction and dystopian future saga, both *Dark Matter* and *Iron Gold* resonate with a profound, almost existential, exploration of identity and self-determination under duress. You've gravitated towards narratives that leverage radical, reality-bending circumstances—whether multiple universes or immutable social hierarchies—to question what truly defines an individual when all external anchors are stripped away. This suggests a deep curiosity within you about the malleable nature of self and the inherent human drive to forge meaning against overwhelming odds.
