(urth) interview questions

[DAVID STOCKHOFF]

This is something I had not imagined. I wonder: if Gene Wolfe crashlanded on a planet of mind-imitators, what kind of civilization would result? Discuss.
I think everyone would go around making jokes referring to Golden Age pulp, quoting Proust, and talking about gods as though they were real. Mentioning Gondwanaland and Mu in casual conversation would be nothing.

Good work on the timeline Gerry! You deserve praise for it. Still I think it covers only the known colonization of
the planets. It misses something important.  As I've already suggested in another post, the text suggests that
there was a much earlier crash on Ste. Anne. perhaps with a single human survivor (or even corpse?). This happened,
as the McCaffrey-Wolfe quote suggests, in the distant past of the planet, not a couple hundred years previous to the 
Marsch events.
