Talk:Humans as Gods

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm planning to describe the history of trilogy writing and publication, the plot, the main races and the list of characters, describe the concepts of the futuristic Earth and some Snegov's ideas on the physical laws (like the matter/space transmutation and "density of space") and the reasons of the Ruinators vs. Galaxians conflict, then add a note on some funny stuff, like the way "dragons" or "angels" (an alien E.T. race named so because of their looks; never been to prehistoric Earth) are described by Snegov. Then write something about the first publications in different languages. --Limmeren (talk) 17:42, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Names

[edit]

Some character names (it has taken time to translate that into English, I don't want to forget them): Gracius (or Gratius???), Tigranes, Lentulus, Olga Throndike. --Limmeren (talk) 14:52, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Four Main Groups

[edit]

"Most individual characters come from the four main groups: the Earthlings, the Starspeople, the Galaxians and the Ruinators/Malignians (later known as the Demiurges)." - This claim seems to be bogus. "Starspeople" is just a common name for all non-humans in the novels, so it includes virtually anyone beside Earthlings and one single Ora-born human (in particular, Galaxians and Demiurges are Starspeople). Given that the group of Demiurges is not homogenous, either (neither physically nor opinion-wise), it is questionable to count them as one group, for example. Also, the total number of individual Arane characters seems to be about equal to that of individual Galaxian characters - why would the latter be counted as a separate group, while the former are a part of the "Starspeople" group? I suggest deleting this section. 129.69.215.49 (talk) 07:59, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually neither Galaxians nor the Ruinators/Demiurges are ever named "Starspeople" in the books. The term is strictly applied to the civilisations first met by humans. Earthlings generally look down upon them. The excitation and alert shown by Vera and human public in general after the first reports on Galaxians were so strong partly due to the words choice of the Grand Machine: it didn't translate the name of this new folk as "Starspeople" but "Galaxians" instead. The primary difference between Galaxians and Arane is their civilisations level of development. Perseans are far more advanced than all other peoples of the known Galaxy but Ramirs. They play significant role in the galactic history, while most Starspeople fall into "extra" category. And I plan to expand that section greatly, giving a paragraph to each of the main characters.
