In my warped and twisted pinhead shaped brain, I see GenerationE as covering vast amounts of space and time. But I don't see that as an easy thing to grasp for story writing. For one thing, it's hard to follow a single character or group over the span of millenia. As humans, we have a hard time understanding time past one or two generations. How can we project that far into the future when we have almost no concept of the human condition of even 5,000 years ago? We have a hard time 'rembering' what it was like 100 years ago.
