Theta sat next to Alpha and put his arm around her. She leaned her head against his shoulder. They looked up at the stars.
"Is your art more or less valuable if a thousand organics see it?" Theta asked.
"There aren't a thousand organics," Alpha said. "There are only twenty-two."
"But if there were a thousand organics, and all thousand of them saw it, would that make your work mean more than if only one person saw it?"
"No."
"And what if nobody saw it?" Theta continued. "Would it still be art?"
"Yeah," said Alpha. She closed her fingers around a loose fold of fabric on Theta's jumpsuit. She felt like crying.
"Art has value because you create it," Theta said. "Not because anyone ever sees it. Everything that organics have ever done—that we've done—still matters, even if no one comes after us. Don't listen to Rho. Life isn't a record of great deeds. It's a moment. It's right now."
You guys I am so serious, please go read The Chosen Twelve by James Breakwell. Do it. It's funny, it's profound, it's bittersweet.

The chosen twelve, par James Breakwell (Solaris, janvier 2022)
Tumblr media
Une vingtaine d’humains artificiellement maintenus à 12 ans, seuls survivants de l’Humanité, se préparent depuis des décennies à quitter la lune qu’ils occupent pour coloniser la planète Dion. Problèmes : la première vague de colonisation a été décimée par la faune locale, la plupart des machines de l’habitat tentent de tuer les humains dès que l’occasion se présente, le « lander » n’a que douze places…
Un roman étrange qui fait naitre de grandes espérances dans son premier tiers, une certaine impatience dans le tiers suivant et de l’ennui ensuite.
