I think there may be some examples of this in classic<br>literature but for some reason all I can think of is R. Daneel Olivaw managing to insert his god-like<br>presence into three different Asimov universes, tying them together.<br> <br>I get the sense that Gene Wolfe is more aware of himself as a god-like/demiurgical creator of his books than <br>Asimov. I'm not as familiar as I should be but I think James Joyce does something like this in his work.<br> <br>
