Each generation replaces the one that came before. Each generation newly discovers the tales and truths that came before, threshes them, discovering for itself what is wheat and what is chaff, never knowing or caring or even understanding that the generation who will come after them will discover that some of their new timeless truths were little more than the vagaries of fashion. --Neil Gaiman, 1997, in the Forward to
Samuel R. Delany’s The Einstein
Intersection
