Motherlands #2

I guess I’ve always been disappointed by depictions of the Many Worlds theory. You get stuff like Sliders, where the big draw is that certain events in history turned out differently, so – PITCH! – what would the world be like if, oh, Hitler won (gasp!), or the Roman Empire never fell (egad!), or the Russians got the moon first (golly!)? That all strikes me as a horribly limited way of thinking about interdimensional travel. Like… the earth’s been here for 4.5 billion years. If there are endless parallel versions of it, then the proportion of them that have life – let alone recognizable human life, and double let alone anything remotely like our own history – is so pathetically tiny as to be non-existent. -- Si Spurrier

Well the one thing that always impresses me about Si Spurrier's stuff is that his visual ideas are always spot-on. From Spire, to Coda, to this.
