It's another installment of Entropist, a scifi culture column by futurist design maven Geoff Manaugh, author of BLDG BLOG. You stumble on a cave in the mountains of Slovenia. Rumor has it this place inspired Dante's descriptions of Hell in his Divine Comedy. Called the Postojna Jama, it's a real cave. Let's say, then, that you join a group of people milling about at the cave's entrance before you all descend into the deep. At a point that clearly isn't the bottom, you're told to turn around. But why stop? you think, looking ahead into the darkness. Is there something down here we shouldn't see? In an utterly cheesy, but nonetheless enjoyable - even impossible to stop reading - novel called The Descent, author Jeff Long presents us with a very similar premise. It involves nuns and the U.S. military and Himalayan mountaineers and a weird parallel branch of the human species, some rogue sub-race that went literally underground so many tens of thousands of years ago - and is only now coming back into the light.
