The award-winning device he retrieves from the darkest hollows of his shell has a recognizably seismic impact in that it invites people to see both everything and nothing that exists beyond themselves; to explode the finite boundaries of their physical existence at the same time as it shrinks their entire universe down to the size of the metal domes they wear on their heads.
Confronted with the most literal manifestation of his own mortality (his infant son), our hero retreats into the deepest reaches of his own mind rather than embraces the idea that he's no longer only living for himself.
