Just Finished Reading: Exit Party
If there are parallel worlds, and I have doppelgängers in these worlds, I hope they are all happier than me.
In Exit Party, the doppelgängers in these parallel worlds appear to have free wills. Even though there are still parallels, perhaps fated, we still see the characters making choices willingly.
On the other hand, by labeling the two outcomes as Side A and Side B, like a vinyl records or cassette tapes, it seems that countries only end up in two scenarios, both nowhere near idealistic. Is there the future of humankind? Do we need to be that pessimistic?
