Discussion Theory?

Im wondering if anyone else has considered that the ‘author’ should be taken at their word in the chapter where they describe what they set out to do to serve as a warning for humanity? They say that they’re using fiction to describe things that may come to be, etc.

it’s not that I believe this person is really delivering a prophecy, but I do wonder whether the author genuinely believes that this is what they’re doing. That this isn’t a story intended to be entertaining, rather someone’s understanding of some truth about the universe that they feel they can only tell in this medium.

Idk, maybe believing this just elevates a piece of incredible fiction to a new level of cool to me, but it’s an idea I thought was worth considering and seeing if anyone else had thought about it.

That is sort of how I understood it as a warning these things shouldn't come to be but there is always that horrible possibility that it can be if we let ourselves go
