But that doesn't mean it wasn't an original idea.  |
No, the bits where I said it wasn't an original idea and relied on other, fundamental principles of various philosophical movements means it wasn't an original idea.
If you want originality in your sci-fi, read Azimov or Clark, or even Verne and Wells.
If you want originality in your philosophy, read Neitzche, Socrates, and Plato.
If you want simplistic, trendy
derivative bullshit, go to the movies.
