The Blind God
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Blind God, in the science fiction novel Blade of Tyshalle, is described as a conscious, deliberately anthropomorphic metaphor for the threatening facet of human nature. It is one among the many themes to which Matthew Stover not only gives descriptive names, but also draws upon in his book.
In his book Stover describes the Blind God in the following passage:
- Clearly, the "Blind God" is a conscious, deliberately anthropomorphic metaphor for the most threatening facet of human nature: our self-destroying lust to use, to conquer, to enslave every tiniest bit of existence and turn it to our own profit, amplified and synergied by our herd-animal instinct--our perverse greed for tribal homogeneity.
