Why do I feel like, I just read an early synopsis of Prometheus specially meant for design guys? Or one of those Doctor Who excavation story ending in discovery of alien civilizations. Pretty sure this madness inspired a lot of other madness. Started off pretty lovecrafty, as far as i, know to a somewhat Poe ending with lots of boring geometric descriptions of entities and constructions. 
 But its amazing how he connects his universe in totally different story lines without disrupting integrity. Only if it had more action. 
 Anyway gonna dig more into the C'thulu mythos.
