Oh, he’s also the author of one of my favorite short stories, “The Great Silence”[0]

Ironically, the endangered species[1] the narrator belongs to has managed to outlive the giant human object discussed, but it’s still at high risk of being wiped out in the wild the next time a hurricane hits Puerto Rico.

The Great Silence is my personal favorite short story. It is absolutely beautiful (and sad too, in a way).
