my theory on the dark tower series, so far. i’m probably completely wrong.
i think roland is from the future. i think he is from the future after a big giant plague wiped out earth as we know it, and turned it into a waste land full of our artifacts, and mutated animals, and blahblahblah. his when is filled with things from the current world, machines that won’t work cuz they don’t know how to make oil usable, old robotics, technology that no one can figure out because evolution has brought them so far away from anyone who was alive to know how those things worked. roland is bringing people from the past before the plague (eddie, jake, susannah) into his future to try to figure out what happened, what went wrong, what the deal is with the dark tower. it appears as if his when is more midieval, with barons and wizards and fairs and what not. but it’s actually the future repeating the past – going back to an older time to go through change and evolution all over again. in this theory i would assume that eventually, the people in rolands when, would go through the same historical changes that happened throughout the past in our real world, and would eventually come to the same technologically advanced present that we know.
i’m not sure any of that made sense. but i’m not rereading it.
