"The Sprawl is a fitting analogy, more like a seedy underbelly of the matrix flipped upside-down and less like a fictitious version of the real world. This analogy matches how Gibson writes his characters: Turner, Marly and Bobby are simply nodes running their own algorithmic program for some mysterious prime mover, who just do as they are told without much of a clue why as the reader. Then in runs the Finn déjà vu." — Aug 16, 2025 10:19PM

"Atwood continues to write about a few favourite hobbyhorses in this collection: the role of authors against an oppression, the decline of the environment in foreseeable human terms, and some books by preferred authors including Alice Munro (again). Sometimes her advocacy for these general topics blend together in an essay. Yet, according to not-so-distant dates, she offers a window into a kinder, more literate world." — Sep 03, 2025 02:48PM

“When Don Quixote went out into the world, that world turned into a mystery before his eyes. That is the legacy of the first European novel to the entire subsequent history of the novel. The novel teaches us to comprehend the world as a question. There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude.”

“This is a work of fiction. Still, given an infinite number of possible worlds, it must be true on one of them. And if a story set in an infinite number of possible worlds is true in one of them, then it must be true in all of them. So maybe, it's not as fictional as we think.”

“Cicero smiled at us. 'The art of life is to deal with problems as they arise, rather than destory one's spirit by worrying about them too far in advance. Especially tonight.”
