Peter's Recent Updates

“I brought her flowers one dusky Tuesday evening when the light was perfect. I pointed out the irony of that romantic old tradition— the severed genitalia of another species, offered as a precopulatory bribe—and then I recited my story just as we were about to fuck.

To this day, I still don't know what went wrong.”
Peter Watts, Blindsight

“Stars, everywhere. So many stars that I could not for the life me
understand how the sky could contain them all yet be so black.”
Peter Watts, Blindsight

“This is how you communicate with a fellow intelligence: You hurt it, you keep on hurting it, until you can distinguish the speech from the screams.”
Peter Watts, Blindsight
