Things Become Other Things by Craig Mod
"The title intrigues. Then you think, "It sounds kind of inarticulate, actually. What 'things'?"

Turns out you are correct. These words are uttered by an old man, a farmer turned innkeeper, a man who doesn't have the gift of elegant speech, trying to e" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Craig Mod  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The owner has seen much, moves in unexpected ways, carries someone else's name. His wife is gone. His head smells of flowers. Whiskey on the breath, he laughs loud and hard and has traveled far from who he once was.”
Craig Mod, Things Become Other Things: A Walking Memoir

“The truth is no online database will replace your newspaper,” he claimed. “Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Internet. Uh, sure.” Stoll captured the prevailing skepticism of a digital world full of “interacting libraries, virtual communities, and electronic commerce” with one word: “baloney.”
Kevin Kelly, The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future

“The accretion of tiny marvels can numb us to the arrival of the stupendous. Today,”
Kevin Kelly, The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future

“We are surrounded with people who think that what we have been doing for that one-fortieth of a second can go on indefinitely. They are considered normal, but they are stark, raving mad.”
John McPhee, Encounters with the Archdruid: Narratives About a Conservationist and Three of His Natural Enemies

“The Land Run should be called something like “Chaos Explosion Apocalypse Town” or “Reckoning of the DoomSettlers: Clusterfuck on the Prairie.”
Sam Anderson, Boom Town: The Fantastical Saga of Oklahoma City, Its Chaotic Founding, Its Apocalyptic Weather, Its Purloined Basketball Team, and the Dream of Becoming a World-class Metropolis
