Authors: Kim Stanley Robinson
“What will you do?” Jones asked.
I shook my head. “I don't know. I've never thought of it. MaybeâI'll go back to Terra. See my father. I don't know!⦠I don't know anything.”
Jones's bass chuckle rumbled in the vacuum's silence. “That's probably as it should be.” He put his arm around my shoulders, steered me around again. We began walking toward the landing vehicles, going back to the others, going back. Jones shook his head, spoke in a sort of singsong: “We dream, we wake on a cold hillside, we pursue the dream again. In the beginning was the dream, and the work of disenchantment never ends.”
