We are a group of imitators who are wandering and helpless, unable to find a spiritual destination. We struggle to break through the chaos time and time again, only to uncover the prelude to a greater emptiness. The male protagonist went to London in pursuit of a "higher life", but found that the center of this glittering world was so illusory: the city was solid and complete, but the people in the city were fragmented.

I seem to be actively working hard and dedicating myself to my ideals, but I just jumped into some kind of absurdity. The story of "Demon Seed" is in the same vein as "Half Life". "Half Life" is the story of the first half of "my" life, while "Demon Seed" is the story of the second half of my life. The writing of "Half Life" coincided with V. S. Naipaul winning the Nobel Prize for Literature; three years later, Naipaul finished writing "The Devil's Seed" and announced the end of writing.

In short, I long for home and the atmosphere of home. I miss cycling, the sea, the back seats of the Rialto Cinema, the kind of cigarettes I smoked, and the embarrassing things that happen to everyone."
