The nice thing is, that if you are charmed by the characters and at least intrigued with the format there are seven other stories already in print and a movie. As mentioned in another reply I have just given up a thirty five year attachment to medium format film photography after dabbling with a P&S digital camera, notably a C2100UZ with a 10X optical stabilized lens at 2.1 MP. I guess I am evolving, same capabilities over a much wider scope because not only are the pictures mostly free but the digital darkroom has arrived and has been available for several years. Coupled with a quad core based machine endless experimentation and creative curiosity new vistas have opened in my virtual space on my desktop.

"We may speculate that part of our biological survival repertory is a disposition toward new experiential combinations under conditions of severe repetition. " At least this is somewhat researchable. I note the teleological slant too. Bio-teleological? In adult learning theory and meta-theory, somewhat my home base, there are many views on what might move 'disposition' to actually learn, or try out, or, instantiate a novel problem solving response, or experiment, or innovative heuristic, or receptive exploration. The boredom given by too much repetition, an affectual result, might impel someone to new experiential combinations. Not having read Lemke's full treatment, nevertheless, I can point in the direction of experiential learning truisms. For example, novel approaches may result from repeating habitual (or normative,) approaches in situations for which the approach does not fit well. Similarly, habitual approaches may result in diminishing returns, especially with respect to intrinsic rewards. One of the crucial contexts for novelty is when a practiced meaning scheme is not commensurate with the situation which is itself new and novel. Another driver of novelty is developmental, and happens when rehearsal and routine cannot constitute the leap to a more productive capability. Since there are historical examples of severe repetition--the industrial assembly line comes to mind--it may be the case that there are novel stratagems which emerge to help make the enforced repetition more bearable. Of course in old fashioned Jungian terms, the fixities of our personality subsume often our more spectral and creative nature. Development in the terms of Analytic Psychology have to do with coming to terms with the problems "repeating our personality" incur, or, with meeting the formidable conditions fate may suddenly deliver to our door, or, reflecting upon timeless challenges of intrapsychic and interpersonal relationship.
