     The general society takes 'fundamental creativity' for granted, rarely examining its role in maintaining humane, life affirming social relations ... what would happen if humanity were to lose its capacity for 'fundamental creativity'?

From the link below you can connect to a late draft introduction to my third novel (a science fiction novel entitled 'The Orpheus Plague'). The story and novel explore the cosmological dimensions to 'creativity' - proposing ultimately that poetry, music, art, etc are cultural extensions of fundamental information exchange principles (e.g. biosemiotic) holding, so far as we know, throughout the cosmos/multiverse.

An early version of this piece was published in 1999 at a South Australian online writers' site. This story is currently being expanded into a fully-fledged novel.[Copyright Ian Irvine (Hobson) 1999-2013 all rights reserved.
