The ideas come to life literally as a "sort-of" clouds in the world divided between hunters and dreamers, and drift toward the sunset over the mysterious city, to be harvested later for food. This echoes the other story of this writer ("The Word Sweep"), where words and ideas take literal physical form and cause either endless "bother", or inspired breakthroughs, depending on the quality of these words/ideas. Nothing like that ever appeared in SF field before, so for originality alone, this story takes the cake. review: 09-Jul-06 (read in 1987) ---------------------------------------------- "Jumper" © F&SF, Apr 1988 --/ cool sf story --/ idea award --/ rare find "Listen, Love" (with Jack Dann) © New Worlds Quarterly # 2, ed.
