“Fiction is a distillation of many stories. It’s taking the essence of general patterns that have been observed across many particular instances of factual human interactions and distilling it into myths, stories & pieces of literature that can be considered hyper-real…

Numbers are hyper-real, they don’t exist anywhere specifically but is a system of categorization for universal applicability.

Fiction is hyper-real and great because great stories reveal deep fundamental universal truths of the human experience.”
