And you do the same. I would play all the parts. I was a budding actor. In my teens, Wells understood my native-born paranoia. All the novels of H.G. Wells are paranoid.
Young men are full of that.
They try to control what can't be controlled. By reading a good story by Wells, you can purge yourself of this. Certain novelists open the gates of life to us. I immediatly jotted down a list of the sorts of folks I would want to plant on Mars. I want you to write the screenplay for my adaptation.
