One of my books features an immortal protagonist and I’ve as such thought about this quite a bit. More than the answers already provided here, what I found interesting as a writer was the balance I needed to find between making an immortal detached from mortal values while still being engaging to mortal readers.

Said as a pithy question, if you can outlive everyone’s decisions and mistakes, what would it take to make you do anything at all?

Reddit was a band-aid but the larger issue is more in how search became an outlet for ads. Modern billboards on the information superhighway.

I’m not sure if there’s a proper solution anymore.
