	Riverworld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are no people from a time later than the early 21st century, ostensibly because an accident in space wiped out the human race at that time.
		Everyone has the same body that they possessed at the age of twenty-five, except in perfect health, and further aging does not seem to occur.
		In each location, there are initially three groups of people: a large group from one time period and place, a smaller group from another time and place, and a very small group of people from random times and places.

		Imagine yourself as a member of the detail removing 3354 bodies from hastily dug battlefield graves to the new cemetery (this is over a thousand more bodies than the entire 1863 civilian population of Gettysburg).

	Franz Rottensteiner- Playing Around with Creation: Philip José Farmer
		Let's take a look at such extrapolating; and To Your Scattered Bodies Go, the first of a series of stories, might be an appropriate subject, having won a "Hugo" as the most popular SF novel of 1971 among American fans.
		Or so at least the hero is told in the end, which may or may not be a lie (it seems likely that it is only a cruel joke of the "gods" to further torment the characters of the story).
		This world is truly hell, and they are punished if they so much as utter the word; insult is added to injury in that they are required to exclaim that they positively like their toiling and that things couldn't be better.

		There are no buildings (at least at first), no signs of civilization except for two things: everyone has a large metal "grail" or closed container attached to their wrists by a transparent strap, and regularly spaced along the length of the river are 50-foot-wide, 5-foot-tall "grailstones," mushroom-shaped constructs with holes along their tops.
		That's all the world is, unending river valleys, spiraling and winding throughout the entire world; to go north or south, one must circumnavigate the globe along the valley to reach the next valley over.
		But you go through a lot of adventures on the river before you find the real answers for most of it--but then, that's where most of the fun is, anyway.
