One Man’s Search for a New Life – On An Asteroid

Have you ever wondered what it might feel like if the world just started moving too fast for you to keep up with it? You know that feeling – you think you can no longer handle the pace and the pressure. You’d love to escape the madness.

Neville Lansdowne escaped. Well, he let go. And the world spun away without him, leaving him standing in the middle of a dark nothingness. Until a nice asteroid field came along, and suddenly Neville has his choice of hundreds of new homes.

How will he choose? Where will he wind up? Will he ever get back to Earth? Does he even want to?

Jonathan Gould answers all of these questions, and many more you have undoubtedly thought of just in the last ten seconds, in his book “Doodling,” which he calls a “comic fantasy.” Well, actually he calls it an “engaging comic fantasy.”
