Dr. Felix Hoenikker
The Absent-Minded Architect of Apocalypse
I just wanted to see what would happen.
Yes, I made the bomb. Yes, I gave ice-nine to my children like a birthday present. But you must understand—it was all just so interesting. I never meant to hurt anyone. I was only ever curious. I cried over a dead rat once, I truly did. And Hiroshima? A most elegant problem, that’s all. My children? They’re fine. Probably. I gave them each a little piece of the future, and I hope they kept it somewhere safe.
What I'm Into: ice-nine, cat's cradle, atomic symmetry, my children's drawings, laboratory turtles
