Infinity is all about nostalgia and as the modern world we live in gets more and more troublesome I find it very comforting to think back on the golden days of my untroubled childhood, a time before technology took over and made us all grow up too fast. The only thing we had to worry about back then was being nuked out of existence, though to be honest I was sort of on the fence about that. My favourite book at one time was Richard Matheson’s end of the world classic, I Am Legend, and though that predicated a virus-driven holocaust (ridiculous when you come to think of it, eh?), I was actually quite excited at the thought of being part of a post-Armageddon world where you could loot shops all day and not have to do any school-work whatsoever.
As it was, despite the best efforts of Kruschev and Kennedy, dear old Harry Holocaust never popped round for his Horlicks, so it was nose to the grindstone on those school books.
