***** Q and A with King ***** -----------►Something to Ponder............Do you have a bleak or upbeat outlook for this worlds future? #SKL (Janet C. Beaulieu, interviewer, 1988) Q: It seems like a lot of what youre saying in here [Dark Tower] is: This is what we are coming to, and how in hell do we stop it, or can we stop it? A: I think that it will, that we will come to a world, if things go on the way they are, where you will have degenerate people who worship gas pumps, that sort of thing. It has a certain logic, particularly if you remember back to the oil embargo and the gas lines. Everybody in The Gunslinger kind of shrugs and says, Well, the worlds moved on, but the point is that if nobody tries to stop the world from moving on, inertia will take care of all of our problems. The whales all will be gone, the ozone layer will be depleted. Therell be this sort of degeneration where technology continues to progress and theres no sort of morality to keep it in balance, to keep it in check. As though machines would somehow solve all of our problems.
