Thomas Hunt:
If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Thomas Hunt
What fictional world would I like to visit?
The fictional world that interests me most is the one in which humankind's common instincts sprang entirely through a tradition of cooperation rather than competition. It is one where need is unknown, where greed and jealousy are rare psychological abnormalities, where all recognize our common bonds to each other and to the single planet that is our only home. It is one where the impulses that divide us are regarded as criminal offenses instead of accepted as the guiding principles of our political, social and religious institutions.
What would I do there?
I'm not sure what line of work I would fall into in such a place. But, mostly, I suspect that I would smile broadly and contentedly all day and sleep deeply and peacefully all night.
